Clearly, we did not get one of the referrals from that last batch. Apparently only 3 of 20 went to Bethany families. So we are now going on waiting for 8 months. We are in a giant phase of apathy. I feel like you can only stay excited for so long when nothing is happening. Some friends just got a referral this week and they turned in their paperwork three weeks before us, so you never know, it could happen.
The girls continue to pick out names for "our little brother." The latest is "Jeff." I have to say it is better than Matea's last option "Pepperhead."
At least they are keeping their excitement. . . We continue to trust that all will happen in God's time. Without that assurance, I don't know how we would survive.
