The process of adoption is the most exciting, scary, and tedious adventure I think our family has ever taken...
 The youngest of our kids think everyday is the day their sister will finally be coming.  I feel the older ones think it will never happen.  We have talked about it for so long that it just seems like a topic of conversation, not something that will REALLY happen at some point in time.
We are well into the process but the time line is so unpredictable.  Right now we are waiting for our immigration application to be approved.  After that we will be able to be put on the waiting list.  We had been looking at a little girl that was on the "waiting child" list, but our paperwork wasn't ready and another family adopted her.  I was happy to see her find a family, but sad that it wasn't us. 
Our girl is still out there looking for us and we are here trying to get through this process so that we can find her!  Your prayers for her and all the orphans around the world would be most appreciated!
