Waiting....possibilities!

We are all done with paperwork and in the waiting stage. Waiting to be matched to a prospective adoptable child or children. We have said we were open to a sibling group and any race is fine. We finally received a call about 2 weeks ago asking if we were interested in a sibling group of three. We said yes! Before this call though I had had a dream the night before that I was walking along a dark road and there were three little girls who were all alone. I was worried about them and in my dream couldn't decide if I should just scoop them all up and put them in my car or call the police or what but I knew they needed help. So when I got a call the next day about a sibling group of 3 I was so shocked and excited! I know that this doesn't mean this will all work out perfectly and we'll get to adopt this sibling group. I am trying not to get my hopes up. I have seen through several friend's experiences that it isn't as easy as that. I know that there will likely be many bumps along the road and many disappointments but overall I have to keep my eyes on the goal and the end desire is to glorify God in what He has called us to do and to faithfully trust Him for the results. It may not be as I imagine or dream about but it will be what He has planned and I am willing and ready to accept that.

There is limited amount that I can share about the trio as they are in the system and I am not at liberty to discuss them publicly but I think it is safe to say that there is one boy and two girls all close in age. They sound like they would be a good fit for our family and we would have so much fun with them. They are all under age 5 which is exactly what we were hoping for and two of the three are potty trained which my husband is happy for. I find myself thinking about them every day and wondering what they look like and how they behave, what are their likes and dislikes and if they could easily get to know and love us back. We are hopeful that their young ages would help them to overcome the trauma they have suffered in their lives and that we can help them to feel part of our loving family and give them the nurture and guidance they need to thrive.

My daughter was most interested in adopting and has prayed and prayed for a sister. She might end up with two. Recently my two younger boys have said they wanted a younger brother. They might get one. I am hopeful that these are the children that will become part of our family. If not, I will pray that God will place them in a good loving Christian home. I am anxious to hear if we are chosen as a possible match. I am not sure how many other files will be submitted along with ours or how much competition we will have, but it isn't about the numbers because big or small it doesn't matter. I trust God will do what He wants to do in the matter. In the meantime, we pray and wait and dream about the possibilities of how God will expand our family and what changes lay ahead. Trusting His will and His timing in all things.
