BAD NEWS. GOOD NEWS!

BAD NEWS.  We moved DOWN a number on the infant boy list, to #4.

GOOD NEWS!  Another couple is requesting an infant boy 0-12 mos and their DTE date is 7.23.10 (one week ahead of ours, thus, a drop in our number).

THIS MEANS ANOTHER INFANT BOY IS ABOUT TO BE MATCHED WITH HIS FOREVER FAMILY!  YAY!!!!

I must confess my heart dropped for a BRIEF second, realizing that we were bumped to #4 (recall that we dropped from #2 to #3 when a family ahead of us kept themselves on the sibling list but also openned themselves to either an infant boy or infant girl).  However, when I quickly reminded myself WHY we were being bumped, I was smiling BIG for there was soon going to be one less orphan in this world!

Besides.  I guess God needed this other family to go before us so that we could be perfectly matched with who HE has HAND-PICKED ~ JUST.FOR.US!!!!!!

We are still #2 for unrelated kiddos and #5 for siblings...........

So, I have a little something fun to share.  Stay CALM.  It is only something little.  And cute.

I preface it by saying we are NOT superstitious in ANY manner!  We do not need luck or superstition.  WE HAVE GOD!

Anyway, Friday ~ after Jeff bruising the CRUD out of his calcaneus (heel bone) during our run; and after the trip to the doc to xray his heel and rule out a fracture; and after getting him crutches to use for at least a WEEK ~ Ugh!  He is already tired of them! ~ we stopped to grab a bite to eat.

Although we hold no REAL stock in our fortune cookies, I thought I would share  them with you, as they brought a smile to our faces and made us chuckle........

I opened mine first and it read:

"You will soon bring joy to a family member."

 Then Jeff read his and it said:

"A cheerful letter or message is on its way to you."

Kind of fun.  Praying we receive SOON the message of who our babe(s) are and have the opportunity to send a care package to them to fill him or them with JOY!  {smirk}

This week, may MOWCYA continue to catch up on the 800 letters the previous committee was behind on.  May this week hold a lot of movement for ALL agencies for PASSING COURT (we have 4 families who will pass immediately upon receipt of the MOWYCA letter; and 5 families who attend Court this week!).  May the week also be filled with APPROVED COURT DATES and EMBASSY DATES............as well as REFERRALS!!!!!!  GO, GOD!!!!!

Looking forward to this week with expectancy but not expectations!  {ehhem}
