Crawling to China- LID- 10/1/06

Wednesday, April 01, 2009


Today marks 30 months LID.
We never imagined that our wait to adopt from China would go on this long. The sad part is that we may wait at least that much longer yet. There is no end in sight. With the CCAA only making 2 or so days worth of referrals every month, the worst case scenario puts us about 90 months away yet. I know this sounds morbid but I need to realize adoption from China may not happen for us.
That being said, I am very excited at our progress with our Kazakhstan adoption and thankful that we were lead to another progrom while we waited for China. Right now my energies and my focus is on that process and my hopes that we will bring one or two children home by the end of the year. Blessings to all and most especially to all those children who wait so patiently for a family of their own. They are the ones who we most need to keep in our prayers. May God work in the hearts and minds of those in control of the futures of those children in need.
