We're lucky number 7 on the list of families waiting for a referral...and a few of those ahead of us are approved to request girls. Our agency only allows families to request girls if they do not have any other female children in their household. Not all agencies have this rule, and in general, there are a lot of families requesting girls...and consequently a lot of little boys needing homes. All of this means, that if a little boy comes into care, they will obviously skip over the families requesting girls and go to one requesting a boy or either gender. So, if you think of it that way, we may be less than #7.

This may all seem like useless information since I can't tell you what this means for our time line, but I can tell you that it is not unusual for families to get THE CALL at this point on the wait list. It could come tomorrow, it could come a few months from now. Please keep us in your prayers that God brings us the little one He has always meant for us to have.
