Prayer Needed

My Nephew is 4 years old and needs prayer. He has been having 40 plus seizures a day for the past week. The doctors at first thought he had a brain tumor Praise God that was ruled out on Tuesday morning after the MRI was completed. He has been in the hospital for the last week and they have been working to get them under control but the medicines take some time to work and not always do the first medicines they try work. Please pray for this little man. I can not tell you how it has taken a toll on his mom and dad. I spent some time over there helping them and I will tell you he is a brave little man. Please pray for him and his family.

We are out of Review

CCAA has finally posted that March 2007 is out of review. What a great day!!!


2/2/2009 CCAA

The CCAA has finished the review of the adoption application documents registered with our office before March 31, 2007.

Yes, that is us. Well now when we get a referral we will move a little faster for CA and TA that is all in reference to traveling.

One year since......

Well it has officially been a year since we submitted our medical checklist. At this point we still do not have a referral. We are actually OK with this because we have so much going on right now. We would love a reefrral but all in time. God has had the perfect timelines for us so I know he has her cared for well.


Beth and I just finished the nursery it is so cute (pink, brown, polka dots, and chair rail). Steve and I will be putting the crib in the next week and then we still need to purchase a bed but we still have time for that.

I am in the process of getting a promotion at work and changing some other responsibilities so right now things are hectic.

We are hoping for a Spring referral they are telling us 15 months so maybe 3 more months. I am anxious but still have many patients. God has well equipped me in this waiting process. I always think the sooner we get this referral the sooner we can start again and that makes my heart just beam. According to the WC staff that the acceptance of a referral of a boy is much shorter but you know how things work by the time we are in line again everyone we be in line for boys (ha ha).

Will pictures of her room soon.
