Waiting waiting waiting!

We got a pretty cool email this morning. It is from one of the agencies that we have been in contact with for about a year. Our friends actually adopted their little girls from the same place. Well a couple months ago we found out that they have not one but two little kids that fit with TJ and my criteria if you will. They are both around 18 months, give or take a couple months. One of them is a little boy that was born a little premature and the other one is a little girl. We have seen pictures of these two and they are the cutest things that you have ever seen! Both of them are NA and so they have these huge dark eyes and tons of black hair! So when we learned of these two (they are not related and will not be placed together, we might be selected for one or the other but not both), we submitted our home study for consideration. Well what we learned today is that after reviewing our home study, we have been moved to the next step in the process! This means that the children's worker will call our worker and see if our worker thinks that we are a fit with either one of the kids. Our worker of course will say that we are barring no significant issues with the kids. after that the kids worker will set up a time with us to do a phone interview! Now we have been to this step many times now and so far we have no placement so we are trying to not get our hopes up too high. But we do have faith that God is in control and that we might soon become the parents of one of these kiddos! We also do not know how many other families are being considered. That is the hard part. When dealing with NA children, the tribe usually has a say in final placement. And we have been selected for a placement before only to have the tribe veto us in favor of placement with a member of that own tribe. So that is always a consideration. but like I said, we have faith that some thing will work out for us! So this was good news to us. We are one step closer to possible placement! Woo hoo.
On a different note, we are still being considered for another little girl through another agency as well. There have been many issues with her placement that we are still trying to wade through. She is the same age as the other two. So right now we are technically being considered for 3 kiddos all around the same age. Our friends asked if we had a preference. Truthfully we don't. We want God's will for our lives and the lives of these precious children! So please be praying for us as we wait to hear something and as we may have some big changes coming up in the next month or so!
