Bowling Fun

There is something cathartic about watching kids bowl. They do it with such abandon and fun.

Great match party.

Adoption Match Party

Here we are at the Adoption Match event in Tucson. There are several prospective parents and a lot of kids. This should be a fun event.

Pray for us!

Is enough, enough?

Is there a point when you can't sustain the raised hopes any longer?

We received a call from our case worker today, and she said that the case worker for the child that was available was being "difficult" (my word), and our chances were somewhere between slim and none.

And, the Adopt US Kids website is not showing much in the way of children that meet our desires...which is probably a good thing overall, but a bit frustrating to us.

Yet still, we trudge ever onward.

Surprise!

Well, we had about given up on Adoption. And then last week we were contacted by our case worker regarding a 2 month old girl that might be up for adoption.

So, the excitement is built back up again. We know that the odds are long against us, but we're praying!!!!

If at first you don't succeed...

Well, since the well for adoption has dried up, we are going to start the process to become licensed as a Foster Care home. At least this way we can help out, and who knows. Something might work out.

Hey, did you hear the one about the...

Nevermind. We are still in a waiting cycle. We went to the adoption party/event/thingee and had a blast. There were some children there that we were interested in, but they were boys. When we talked it over with Matt and Isaiah, they shot it down real quick. They want a big SISTER, and no boy will do.

So, still we wait. It will happen in God's appointed time, and nothing we do will make that change.

However, we'll keep you updated when things change.

Keep your chin up!

Next week is an adoption party in Tucson. We are still in a waiting cycle. Some days we think about it, but most days we are in our work-home-bed routine.

Still waiting for that phone call!
