Nothing New on the Adoption Front

Well, there aren't many news on the adoption front for us. We were told by our social worker that we are number #101 on the waiting list. These numbers can change all the time as people are referred their children .... but it gives us a ballpark idea of where we are. It'll probably take a miracle to have her home this year. But miracles are known to have happened before ...... So I'm praying for a miracle.

Officially a Waiting Family

Today we reached another milestone in our adoption journey. As of this past Friday - but I just now read the email from our social worker with our adoption agency - that we are now officially on the waiting list for our future daughter. This was wonderful news to us - except for the waiting part. I wonder today on 8 Feb 2009 how long we will have to wait????

In the meantime we have this wonderful bundle of joy that keeps us busy and on our p's and q's!
