The title basically explains our adoption situation as of now. All we're doing at this point is waiting for our Chinese conact, Lily, to send us a referral when she notices a child who would fit with our family. We spent the first couple of weeks looking through lists of special needs children, but at this point we've backed off and given it to God. We filled out the awareness form, and the special needs qualifications form- now we wait. and wait. and wait.
At this point I feel so much for Lily. I have recently discovered that once a child has been referred to a family, the child is put on hold for 48 hours. When those 48 hours are up, the family must make the decision whether to move forward with adopting this child or not. If the family says no, the child is permenantly off the list for that adoption agency. There is so much pressure on this woman. Sure, there are more people with whom she shares the burden, but that is a huge responsibility! And obviously God is in control of every situation, nonetheless, please keep her and the other social workers in her position in your prayers.
WAIT. Thats the gist of it all. WAIT.
In Him,
Chelsey :)
