Hard, Hard, Hard Day-Keep Praying!!

Today is a big struggle for us. I am writing this update with tears. Today we got a call from Aneata at our agency. They had a very rare circumstance that emerged today. A family that had accepted a 3 year old girl had to back-out of the adoption process for financial reasons. Aneata asked us if we would want to accept her, but this would mean that we would only be able to adopt one child. Her court date is scheduled for March 9th, so we would have been placed in an ideal position from a timing stand-point. Wade and I agonized over this decision with each other, Aneata, and God this morning. A three-year old girl is the reason I really wanted to do all of this, for me this is the perfect age and gender, but we have felt strongly about adopting 2 children all along. The wait might continue to be quite awhile if we want to adopt two children between the ages of 1-5. With sobs in my throat I finally called Aneata back and turned down this precious little girl. We didn't even have Aneata email us with pictures and information because we knew we would melt at the sight of this precious little girl. I am not worried about her going into a great home because there are many families below us on the list. We will continue to pray for a match and that we are following God' plan. Please pray for us to have peace and that we will hear something soon. The wait is excruciating and long right now. Thanks for all of your support.
