Excellence

Excellence is the result of:

Caring more than others think is wise.
Risking more than others think is safe.
Dreaming more than others think is practical.
Expecting more than others think is possible.
Are you willing to strive for excellence?

Nothing really

So I apologize I have not updated our blog in a month. I admit. I have been discouraged. My last post indicated that we were number 4 on the list for one baby and number two for two kiddos. However since then we actually moved DOWN the list instead of up due to varying circumstances with other families also in the adoption process. This was incredibly discouraging news to me, and I didn't have the heart to post here.

However Sean has been so amazing and encouraging to me. He gently reminded me that it doesn't matter what number we are on the list or how many families are ahead of us on the list. God has specifically chosen our daughter (or kids) to be a part of our family. This will all happen in HIS timing regardless of our number.

I contacted our agency again today for an update. We are now again number four on the list for a daughter and we are now number one on the list for twins. When we began the adoption process, it was explained to us that we may have to wait up to 10 months to be matched. When I inquired about this time frame today, I was encouraged to hear that they still anticipate we will receive our referral information within the estimated 10 month time frame -which would be by May 13 (but who's counting?)

Hoping to have more news in the coming weeks. Thank you for your prayers for patience (apparently having two two year olds didn't grant me enough patience) sanity and trusting in God's timing.
