Prayer for Mei Mei

This morning Elijah was having his Bible time, and the activity was to write a prayer. Here is part of what he wrote.

In case you're having trouble reading it, it says "I love you God. Please help me to get my baby sister home soon." I thought it was really sweet.

Not this time

The shared list came out finally on Tuesday, and many Holt families were matched with children, which is really good. Of course we're hoping it will be our turn soon as well, but we are trusting in God's perfect timing.

Nothing new

We are getting lots of questions about the progress of the adoption. I don't know how many people are checking this site, but I thought I'd give a quick update. We are still anxiously waiting to be matched. When I talked to our agency last week, they seemed hopeful that it would be in the next few months. Since we are requesting a girl 0-24 months it takes longer because so many other people are also looking for a girl in the same age range. A new list of children is overdue to be released (it's been 42 days since the last one), but it has not yet and we don't know when it will. Of course we're hoping our daughter is on this next list. However, it could still be a few months. Tomorrow sounds great to me!
