~Sunshine and possibilities~ July 26, 2009

I almost titled this… “Don’t get excited or I’m not excited about this yet”… but I think that those comments draw lots of excitement by just using the words…

Finally now that our homestudy is completed (just waiting for the typist to finalize) we can look into the WIC profiles (Waiting International Children).

 

Most WIC kids are in there for various reasons.  Age, correctable medical issues, future possible developmental and/or medical issues, or sibling groups. 

 

It is such a joy to be able to review our agencys WIC files and know that we are FINALLY allowed to show interest and ask for additional information on a child if we find one we feel would match with us.  After the last year and a half of all this adoption process –  the possiblity of a ray of sunshine of adopting a child comes to be very exciting.  Even knowing we have a small possiblity on any particular child makes me smile - it is a step closer and feels like we are making progress.

 

On Friday we reviewed the Waiting International Children at our adoption agency and found one that I have emailed our social worker on to inquire about. 

 

It is way to soon to get excited about as we do not know if this child is still available for adoption and we do not know a lot about her (yes, she is a girl) but we are hopeful and just happy to have possiblities of finding a child to help us create a family this summer.   She is a 4.5 year old from Latin America and I hear she likes puzzles and to color.
