WE PUT IN A REQUEST FOR A CHILD!


We have super cool news. I was deliberating on whether to post this, but I decided this morning that I would go ahead and post. This is not a match yet, but we have put in an official request to be matched with a child on the waiting child list!

I can't share any information about the child, but we are very excited and anxious to find out if we are approved. We know that we are probably not the only family requesting this child, (I believe each agency can submit one family?) so we will wait to hear which family they decide is the best match. We have just been praying that God will choose the family that will be the best fit to meet the needs of this particular little sweetie. He knows who will be a perfect match for this child, and the child's needs (not our want to adopt) should be at the forefront of our desires. So, we trust His decision.

We are very happy about our decision. Keep us in your prayers and good thoughts and I will keep you updated!
