So we did not get a call

The families for the current Waiting Children's list were selected yesterday and called by CHI. We were not one of them. The little girl we were interested in is being reviewed by another family. There is a slight chance that the family viewing this little girl's file will decide not to adopt her and then another family gets selected. But I'm not holding my breath. I'm happy that this little girl will find her forever family, but it doesn't make it any easier that it probably won't be us.

This is our 4th Waiting Children's list that we've tried to find our daughter on. Obviously God has other plans for us. I don't like the fact that I'm still having to wait. I've never been good at patience or waiting. Those who know me well, are shaking their heads in agreement.

Eriks desperately needs a sibling to occupy his time. And it's just a shame that there aren't many kids Eriks age here. The majority are either older or way younger. At Edwards we were much luckier because Eriks has about 4 or 5 friends - almost all of them girls. But at least he had them.

So I guess our wait will continue. I think that's the story of our lives, always waiting.
