Ok, so I know that in my previous posts I discussed that we were looking to adopt more than one child from Latin America. You may have noticed that in my recent posts I have only been talking about "our daughter." We found out from our agency a while ago (when we were switching agencies) that during the time we work trying to work with our original agency that one of the girls had been applied for. This was a bit sad but also was great news. This means that we are not the only ones looking to adopt children with DS from LA! Raising two children, about the same age with DS would have been very difficult, not that we did not take that into account before pursing the adoption but we felt that God had a plan for all of this. He does have a plan! Now, I am not God, I cannot even begin to guess what His plan is for us but maybe, just maybe He wanted us all along to only adopt one of these precious children? Not only that but maybe He did not want to make us choose which one we would adopt (how hard would that have been!?!) So, we are currently pursuing the adoption of one little girl from Latin America with Down syndrome.
We have known for some time that we would most likely only be adopting one but today we found out which one it is. It is bitter-sweet news, we would have been happy to adopt either one, but now we also know which one will almost definitely not be coming home with us. We are so happy that she will have a home soon! Now please help us pray that our home study process goes smoothly so we can announce to the world who our daughter is!
