Wait, wait, wait...

Probably the most annoying word to anyone pursuing adoption. And that's what we're doing...waiting.

Waiting to get the full file on these cute fellas so we can pour over it and pray over it to see if we can move forward with them.

Waiting to hear if the agency will match them with our family, despite their reservations about the boys' ages mixed with our girls' ages.

Waiting to hear God's voice - YES these are your boys! Or NO, move on.

So we wait, (somewhat) patiently.
