Well we got some great news from our Adoption Agency. It seems that for the special needs list there is only 2 or 3 people a head of us. And they believe they will be able to match these families in April. Meaning that we will be up to be matched in May. I am so excited, it is finally happening. She also gave us the great news that we should be traveling in September or the latest November. We should have our little princesses before Christmas. I can't even explain the joy..... Though now comes the rest of the paper work and endless purchasing of baby items and traveling necessities. Planning for what, who and where my other children will be for the 2 weeks we are gone. So much to do, but it will keep us busy during the last part of our wait.

Well another couple of days have passed and the new special needs list for China was most likely updated already and we still have no word. So we are waiting for the next update which should be in about 2 or 3 weeks. Waiting and waiting thats what we are down to. I often think about the call from the agency and how overly excitied we will be. Well the good thing is that during this waiting time God has blessed me with 3 other children that keep us busy. Corey our oldest is graduating this spring from Highschool, so we are quite busy with graduation party planning and senoir pics, and all that stuff. As for Kayla our middle child she is not doing any sports this spring but is very active with friends and her social life. Our youngest is playing soccer for the 6th year he started at 3yrs old. So hopefully the days will fly by till we hear something from our agency. Well I gotta get back to the house and the kids.

Our Adoption

As many of you know we have been on the long awaited path for our daughter. The CCAA seems to moving very slow. So as of March we switched to a special needs adoption from China. We are very excited as they seem to be updating the special needs list every couple of weeks or so. This means our chances of being matched soon ( the next few months) is very high. This is wonderful news as we have waited almost 2 years already. We are more than ready to bring our daughter home. It is getting close to update time of the special needs list so I think about every couple of weeks I will be sitting on pins and needles waiting for our agency to call. It is like a pregancy test that takes a month or two to show a postive sign......So you walk around with it in your mind and giving you butterflies everyday. Waiting and waiting............... So here we are waiting and waiting.........
