To Those of Us Who Wait~

"But these things I plan won't happen right away.
Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches
when the vision will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow, be patient!
For it will surely take place.
It will not be late by a single day."
Habakkuk 2:3

I hope this brings some peace to all the families waiting, hoping and praying. I know that it has helped me. Thank you Yash.

No News

Have you ever had a stupid song playing inside your head and you just can't get rid of it? Lately, all I can hear is the song "Tell me something good" wah-wah. Does that tell you how old I am? I not only remember disco, I DID disco!

I was told by someone else using our agency that our agency e-mailed those waiting parents that for sure would not receive a referral and confirmed their worst fears. My heart goes out to those families, I may be in your ranks soon enough. So far, THANK GOD, we have not received any such e-mail. Maybe no news, right now, is good news.

We are all praying very, very hard. If you feel so inclined, I would greatly appreciate it.

Do you like to Gamble?

This was the e-mail from my agency today......

"You are still just on the edge where it is 50/50 for getting a referral. I wish I could tell you for sure but I just can't at this point."

God help us.

Happiness for three families!

This past Friday, we received an email from our agency announcing that they referred three baby boys to families. Hopefully this is the start of many more happy referrals (dare I say, including ours). One can only hope and PRAY!

I would like to congratulate all of the lucky families! I am so very happy for each and everyone of them.

Tighten your seatbelts ~

I hope that you are hanging on tight because things are getting bumpy! From what I can gather from other clients of our agency, our agency does not want to have families switch from one gender to another, it is not fair to the families that have been waiting in that line. I agree, though it does put us back in jeopardy of not receiving a referral at all. And I was really liking the idea of a baby boy. Ah well, at this point even a baby monkey is starting to sound good!

Soooooo.........the emotional rollercoaster ride continues.
