Sorry I haven't written much lately, but nothing much is going on... Adam spoke with our international adoption consultant, Robin, last week and she informed us that the wait time has increased a little, from 4 to 6 months to 6 to 8 months. We are now looking to receive a referral somewhere between March and May. That was a little hard to hear. I am so looking forward to seeing who we are praying for and it is especially hard not knowing what that little person is going through while waiting! On a brighter note, Robin sent us an e-mail this week to let us know that European Adoption Consultants very first adoptions from Ghana went through this week! The Ghana program is a pilot program through EACI so while they have completed many adoptions through other countries, they just completed their first through Ghana. This is very exciting news!!! They now have a more definite time frame for us and there are two less orphans in Ghana! Yay!
Just for laughs... Our daughter, Eva has told us all along that she really only wants a sister. We have explained many times over that God will choose whether she gets a sister or a brother and that brothers can be just as much fun! She always replies with the same answer, "I already have a brother, I want a sister!" This week Eva has changed her nightly prayers from "God, please bring me a sister." to "God, thank you for bringing me a sister!" She is already thanking God in advance for answering her prayer....I wish I had a little more of her faith :-) I have so much to learn from these little guys!
FYI...Adam told me last night that he has started to pray for a sister so that he doesn't have to tell Eva it's a boy! ha ha! Brother or Sister, it will still be a blessing from God!
