I just wanted to write a little post in honor of the fact that today we've been on the waiting list for our daughter for 2 MONTHS!!! In a lot of ways, the time has really flown and other times (like when Elijah asks for the millionth time when we can bring his baby sister home) the time has been crawling by. Here is what I do know though...they told us an average of 6-8 months until we receive a referral for our baby girl and we have 2 MONTHS under our belt!!! That is exciting and is starting to feel like we are really making a dent in this waiting period. Literally any day, and only God knows what day that will be, we'll receive THE CALL and know that our waiting has all been worth it. That will be a day that we'll remember forever.
In honor of our 2 month wait, please watch this sweet video. It's an orphan lullaby for all of the orphans in the world. Baby girl, I pray that someone rocks you and loves on you until we can. We can't wait! Pray and consider how you can help the least of these...if you're not called to adopt, then maybe you can sponsor a child through Compassion International or get involved in an orphan ministry at your church or be a mentor to a child or love on & support a family that is adopting. There are so many options..."the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few".
If you can't get see the whole video, click play and then double click it and it will open in another browser where you can see the whole thing better.
