no change

We got the bi-weekly update from our agency yesterday, and there have been no referrals in the past month. I don't know if it's slowing down or they are just in a lull right now. So we are still number 8 (out of 25 families waiting for a boy). I hope things pick up, because I am starting to get mentally and emotionally ready to meet my son. We still have a lot of physical preparation, but that can be done once we get our referral.

Still Waiting...

It has been exactly a month since I last posted. It's hard to write when there is no news, but I have had several people ask me recently. So the news is that we're still waiting. We are number 8 waiting for a boy, and there have been maybe 2 boy referrals since the last time I wrote. So we're still looking at several months.
Answered prayer: Drew is now in a "big-boy bed" and has been for a full week. After he slept in it the first night, he hasn't looked back! Can't say I blame him --I'm sure it's much more comfortable, and now he has a pillow!
I will try to post as we hear from our case manager about our status, which is usually monthly. We still are expecting summer or fall.
Please pray for our friends Dan and Amy Saxby (see link to their blog) who are still waiting to bring their daughter home from Guatemala. They are running into a lot of problems due to the corruption in that country. They have visited twice, but still cannot bring her home.
