Well, it is a new year and unless there is a serious delay, this will be the year that we welcome a new child into our family. Things have been very slow on the adoption front for the past six weeks or so, but the new year brings hope and much expectation. I have been reminded over the past week or two about how much God is in control and how life’s challenges and roadblocks are not surprises to Him. We will be doing our best to put our trust in Him over the next couple of months as we get closer to bringing our child home.
As of right now we are around #20 in line, but there may be some surprise families waiting in front of us. Our agency does not officially tell us where we are in line, so our best guess comes from the Yahoo Group we belong to that is made up of other waiting families.
Please pray for our patience. I am really looking forward to focusing on all of the other things that God wants us to do before our child comes home. I am obviously also very excited about our trip to Africa and how our life will be different after we get home.

Yes, please, Amy and William (that's referring to a "promise" this new year of kiddos for us BOTH)! I would LOVE to see the line move so that I can hold your kiddo while I am there (when I get there ;0).
More picture of sweet Lucy and Mr. Sam please!
Wanna do dinner some time this month?

I *know* how hard the waiting is. Take heart, Sister and Brother, God is working in you and through you as you wait in hope for Him!
