Happy to be Waiting!

For the past several months, Andy & I have been praying about getting back on the special needs (SN) waiting list with our adoption agency. We felt all along we should wait until the winter had passed to give my body plenty of time to heal from surgery and to see how it fares during "sick season". We are incredibly thankful with how much better I've been doing! We can see God has been working... and we are ready for the next stage. So ready.

Praise God our wait (to wait) is finally over!!
       We believe we are ready to *truly* wait now :)

So, today we were blessed to have a very upbeat discussion with our adoption coordinator, Alison.  She came to our home for her semi-annual visit and we were able to discuss OFFICIALLY getting back on the SN waiting list!!!!! And we were pleasantly surprised to find that we will be taken off "hold" in the same place we left off (i.e. with a March 2010 start date).  That means we will be at (or very near) the top of the special needs waiting families.  And according to Alison, she believes we will be given a referral. SOON. 

Our daughter is waiting ... and SO. ARE. WE.  We are ALL ready for this!
