Still Waiting


It has been ridiculously long since I have posted. I guess we're just waiting. It has been 17 months. The people who received the last referrals (yesterday) waited 31 months so we are 1/2 way there pending speed-ups, further slow downs, more problems with our agency, CIS screw-ups, etc.


We have reviewed 2 very significant waiting children files. We did extensive research into the conditions both girls have. We decided not to adopt either girl because of the severity of their special needs. We had to consider how their needs would affect Grace. They were beautiful children but not the right match for our family, not our Lila. We hope & pray that they find their families very soon.


Grace started her 2nd year of preschool today. She is going 3 mornings a week this year. She said she had fun but missed getting to do everything with me today. She's my shopping buddy and I really missed her at the grocery store this morning!


My cousin, Cassi, has a very interesting blog about her baby girl who is battling CDH (congenital diaphragmatic hernia). Please visit them at http://www.babygirlreed2be.blogspot.com/. Elli is doing well but needs prayer & support. The symbol at the top is the symbol for family. We have a very strong family and we are all rooting for our newest member.
