Lilypie Waiting to adopt Ticker

things are moooooovin'

We got an email last week that the referral dates are moving forward. They have now begun matching families who began their wait in June of 2008. Yea!!!! Our waiting date is August 8. So....that is good news. We are getting closer. You know how a cow moves slowly across the pasture? Even when they run, they seem to be moving in slow motion? That is like this process. It is definitely MOOOOOOOO-ving. ..just in slow motion.
In other news, we met our 11th Social Worker the other day. She is quite sweet and has been through the adoption twice herself. She has a daughter from China and a son from Korea, and she just gave birth to a little girl. Our new sw was here to help us begin the process of updating our homestudy. It is a process of a couple of home visits, a billion questions, lots more paperwork, a few hundred dollars, and some more visits to the doctor, police station, etc. Hopefully, this will keep our minds busy on the process and not so much on the lack of progress :).
I am so very thankful for the sweet questions that drift in from all over, inquiring of our sweet little girl. She is so very loved and doesn't even know it yet :). I can't wait to wrap my arms around her precious little self.
My prayers are to keep patient and my eyes on the Lord as He is in complete control of EVERYTHING. How so very sovereign He is. There is nothing new to him. Nothing that gets past his ever seeing eyes. Nothing that He can't fix or undo. I am thankful for my Lord...and thankful for the faithful prayers of my friends and family.
Blessings to all of you!
