WooooooHooooooooo

I had a bit of a shock yesterday when I finally opened up an envelope with a check for our adoption in it. It had laid unopened on the table for a few days. When I finally opened it I was speechless and immobile for a good 3 minutes (that's how I generally express extreme emotion :-) Our fundraising goal has been met! Yep, you read that correctly. Praise God for the tremendous generosity of His people.

9 months

Joseph and I have been in the actual process of adoption for about 9 months now. However, unlike pregnancy, adoption has no 'due date.' We could have another 7-11 months to go. It's rather strange waiting for something indefinitely. We just gear up for the long haul and trust that God's timing is perfect.

We haven't been posting much recently because there isn't much going on now. The next step for us is getting a phone call from our agency saying 'we have a baby for you.' So, for now, we just wait and hope and trust that that day will indeed come.
