August Conference Call

I realized I posted the new wait time on Facebook, but neglected to mention it on our blog. Sorry!

The current average wait time for our age range is still 8 months. We are so excited. We realize that it will likely increase to 9 months before we receive our referral, but that still means that we are over halfway through our wait. Praise God!

He is good... all the time.

One of those days...

Today I am struggling with patience. Occasionally I become aware of milestones before they arrive and then waiting for them is torturous. On Wednesday I realized that we were one week away from our 5 month mark on the waitlist. That day also happens to be our monthly conference call with the updated wait times. Last month was such a great report. I'm just praying that the wait time remains the same. It's all I can think about. This is really the first month that I have been really concerned about the wait times increasing. The first two times it was a total shock and then last month, when it actually went back down, I was completely prepared for another increase.

We have booked up the rest of our year with well spread out trips, so we have a lot to look forward to. I'm hoping that will keep us occupied for the next few months. Plus some structure is about to return to our week as the school year approaches and we start Bible study up again.

Please continue to pray for Vaughn and his understanding of the adoption process. He understands so much more than I thought he would and for that I am SO grateful. Also, we are planning on moving soon, so please pray for wisdom for us as we make that decision. And, as always, please pray for the health of our baby girl and for peace for her sweet birth mother.

Love and thanks for all of your prayers and support,

Alex

Here is a funny video that I completely neglected to post earlier this year. It is from February... but better late than never!
