The meeting Monday morning went so well. The director was kind and willing to work
with us and our agency to make fostering and then adopting work. We spent about an hour or so gathering all the
information we could on this four month old…and then they took us to meet her! We spent about a half hour with her, talking
to her, smiling at her, holding her and feeding her. Oh my!
She’s beautiful.
We came home so encouraged and excited. And then we sent all the info we had on her
to a doctor who has offered his advice on our referrals. His reply is that there is reason to be
extremely cautious. Her special needs
could mean major issues. This is rather
disheartening. Our hearts want to hear, “Move
forward. This is a great fit.” After meeting her, I am finding it really
difficult to think logically instead of with my heart.
Friends, please keep praying for us. This “referral, matching, choosing your
daughter” step of the process is so hard!
We need to be wise. We need God’s
discernment. Because the info we have
now on this little one is inconclusive and maybe a little too early to know, we’re
not closing the door on her just yet. It
is possible her conditions could turn out to be minor issues. We’re trying to figure out ways to get more
information. Keep praying. Pray that somehow we will be able to get a
foreign doctor to assess her medical condition.
