News

This week we learned of two recent placements. One family is traveling in May and the other in June. Neither one is us. So, that means that we will at least be here thru June. We are bummed. There are two potential birthmothers due soon but neither have decided on a family or even if international adoption is what they want to do. So, once again we wait.

Still Waiting

Well, we have heard absolutely nothing. We are so ready to get that phone call. Seems like lately our home phone has been ringing in the evenings and every time it does, my heart skips a beat or two or three. I run to the phone as fast as I can and I answer it with much anticipation only to hear some annoying recorded voice or a person conducting a survey or the bank trying to sell me on some credit card. Even at 9:20 pm last night, my phone rings. Some dumb recording. I want to cry every time I slam that phone down! Those poor people who have to deal with my wrath when they continue to call night after night and I finally lay into them telling them how each time they call I say I am not interested and they continue to call back. It is shocking. No one ever calls my home phone except these people, so every time the phone rings, I fully expect it to be news about our baby. When we received the call about Kaori, it came on our home phone, so that is why I am thinking it will happen that way again. We pray every day for patience and endurance as we wait on the news. We are going on 10 months of living apart and it is wearing on us. All of us. Keep us in your prayers as we WAIT.
