Breathe
Sometimes I feel it’s all that I can do
Pain so deep that I can hardly move
Just keep my eyes completely fixed on You
Lord take hold and pull me through...

On Monday when we were supposed to have the one of the best days of our lives we yet another "snag" in our adoption. Yes, we did have a referral but the baby referred to us is believed to be sick. When our agency rep called to make sure the baby was still healthy the orphanage reported back that thought she may have coronary heart disease. More than likely they believe this due to a health decline of some sort but I  was not told details.The lack of information is to protect us so we don't (A) put ourselves in the position of having to reject a 2nd referral and (B) to prevent us from getting too attached to child we may not get. If she does have a heart issue it is likely her file will be pulled back and we would be re-matched again. The orphanage is supposed to take her to have a heart ECHO to see what the issues are. We were expecting to hear something back no later than today but unfortunately they have not take her for the ECHO yet due to bad weather.

Please pray that this baby gets the medical attention that she needs right away whatever the issue is. Please pray for us, this has been a difficult journey and we're really struggling with getting so close to having our day only to have it blow up, not once but twice.

Congrats to All...

who have recieved or are in the process of receiving their referral this month. Our time has finally come! Wishing you all the best as we begin the last leg of this  painfully long, journey!

We Have a Referral...

We have a confirmed referral! I can't tell you how much two little type written lines meant this afternoon. After last month I was a little nervous about getting a re-match this month but I kept the faith that it would be there and it was. CCAI received the June referrals from China this afternoon and will be tranlating them this weekend and making "THE CALLS" on Monday!

Now to pass the time until it's finally ou turn to recieve "the call"...

I800A Received...

One more thing to cross off my long list... we received our I800A approval!
Referrals should be here by the end of the month. I'm going nuts waiting....
