Our LID Anniversary

Today marks one year of officially being on the waiting list to bring Megan home! How we thought she'd be home before Christmas! How wrong we were! Apparently, she is not ready yet. I don't know what the delay is, but God does. I recently read a post by a mom who pictured an angel connecting her file with her daughter to ensure they were placed together. I have to say I agree with the concept. I know God will ensure we are placed together. That, I am confident!

Referrals are supposed to be coming out within the next week. Those next in line are hoping to receive them before Christmas. And I'm praying that is true for them! Isn't that an AMAZING Christmas present, even if it is a few days late? Hopefully, it will be the rest of the individuals who have been waiting since September 2005. Dare I hope for into October? Well, dare or not, I do! But, I am reminded of words I shared with a friend who was placed on the list in April 2006, whatever it means for our Megan to be matched with us it will be. It might be continued slow down, it might be a speed up (PLEASE!?), it might continue at this pace. Whatever it is going to take, it will take the perfect amount of time necessary for our Megan! It's wisdom that was shared with me...and I am reminded it is true, even though I am anxious to bring her home!

Merry Christmas. We'll have our daughter in 2007...THAT we know!

Well, not as much exciting news in this month's batch of referrals. They were very young children, at least those I've seen were, and all were VERY CUTE! But, there still remains MANY, MANY months between where they are matching and where we are. The agency is still saying we should hear something Feb/March. It would be miracle at the pace they are continuing on! But, God is in the miracle business!

The semester is almost over...praise the Lord! This has been a stinker semester. Looking forward to closing the book on it! Teaching the week before Christmas, so I'm looking forward to Christmas when I will truly get a break. I'm trying to decide which fun book to read! YIPPEE.
