Update & A Prayer Request

A family who has just travelled to China to pick up their daughter has arrived only to find their daughter in the hospital and fighting for her life. They request prayer for healing for this little girl and that all the red tape will come down so that they can bring her home to the US where she can be looked at by specialists. You can check out their journey by going to http://www.roomforatleastonemore.blogspot.com/

As for our update, we received notification yesterday that our provincial approval letter dated September 11, 2008 (this date will now become important to us)has been forwarded to FOI, the agency in Ontario that will hopefully match us with our daughter from their waiting child list. It appears that there are at least 10 families in front of us requesting a girl under the age of 24 months with minor or correctable Special Needs. I heard today that the list of waiting children came out in the US (apparently had 70 kids on it, with half being boys). Canada and Sweden (I think) will receive a different list of children from the US. I heard that this list usually arrives in Canada about the second week of each month. As for how long we will wait, God only knows for certain. We are trying to be open to his timing, knowing that he knows who our daughter is and because is leading us on this journey, will unite us at the perfect time.
