I wasn't saying much until things were completed, but after advocating hard for him this summer while he was here, to find a forever family, we thought we had found one. A great one. One where the husband flew to Florida while we were there, just for a day, to spend time with him, to get to know him, and help the decision of whether or not to make him a part of their family.

Another family also came forward during this time and while we were in Orlando, the mom came to visit us another day. Each of them came on the pretense of being a "friend of the family". We were not to discuss adoption in ANY way with or around our hosted children. Many of them do go on to be adopted by their host families, but many don't for various reasons. Either way, the biggest rule is that adoption is NOT discussed with or around them. There have been kids that, with their limited English, have just overheard the word in a passing conversation, was not even in relation to them, but based on just that word, they went home telling everyone they were going to be adopted, and that was NOT the case. Even if someone does intend to pursue adoption, there are times when things happen and they are unable to do so.

Please join us in prayer over this situation! This child who has no family!
