1 week down...

We've been on the waitlist for one week. We're still at the very beginning... I am officially stalking the "unofficial" Gladney FBI list. It's a list of about 75% of the families in our program who are in the process. Gives dates for their milestones (paperchase, waitlist, referral, etc.) and links to other blogs. I love this list! I love feeling connected to strangers who are going through some of the same things we are.

What is tough is that right now we are the 1st people open to a little boy 12-24 months old! (a few families have requested girls in that age group). Why is that tough? Because who gets a referral after only being on the waitlist for a week or two?! Those chances are slim to none. There could definitely be people not on the FBI list who would accept this referral. But my mind can't help but wonder.

Luckily for my sanity, I remember that God has had this child picked out for a very long time...whether that referral comes in 3 weeks or 3 months it won't matter. I'm so grateful that I'm not in charge of this scenario- or my life- because I could so easily screw it up!
