We'll have a baby this year!
Happy New Year. We were hoping to have received a referral before Christmas, but God's timing is perfect...and not always what I plan. But, I can now with confidence say that we will have a baby this year. :) I find myself getting so anxious as we wait. I blog surf and find so many other families adopting from Ethiopia and know I am not alone. It is hard to describe the feeling of love and anticipation for a child you have not even met. It's definitely a God thing. I am so thankful for other families who have gone through this and have been an encouragement to us. I hope that I can in some small way encourage others along this adoption adventure as well. Isaiah 40:31 says, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." ....teach me Lord, teach me Lord, to wait!

I'm right there with you - jumping every time the phone rings! You guys are in our prayers, as well as our little ones, who may be together right now!

Hope you all are hanging in there okay. I was just checking on the "unofficial" list in the yahoo group, and you all are so close! Hopefully the upcoming court and travel dates will bring some referrals at last :).
