Well, right back at the very same place we've been since February/March. Everything is done, my dossier is submitted and in country. I am just waiting for a little girl to become available in order to begin the matching approval. There are only about 9 children on the list of those available for adoption from Hong Kong through my agency. 9. And a few of those are already matched or on their way to being matched. And the rest are older (my agency requires staying in birth order no matter what, which means under 5.) So it's a waiting "game" once more.

BUT, all that to say... although it's hard. Although I want more than anything to know who our new little one is, to see her face, to show the kids, and to bring her home. I know this is God's plan and not mine. I know that with all that the past year has been. With all that our upcoming year COULD be. We are where we need to be. And I don't know that I could add another right now. But hopefully very very soon...
