As a Korean adoptee, I don't know about your wait (although I have heard that it is long and anticipatory) but I do know that you are doing a wonderful thing, offering your love, your home, and your spirit to a little person who is so in need. I believe myself to be so very lucky to have the opportunity I have today because my parents made the decision to adopt. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you continue on your adoption journey!<br />All the best,<br />AbbieAbbiehttp://www.organizing-life.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424648590651150689.post-55047763357831430792009-04-29T15:43:00.000-07:002009-04-29T15:43:00.000-07:00Jenny, I agree with Julie, I hope that your next p...Jenny, I agree with Julie, I hope that your next post is about your referral.

The twin boys from the children's home are with their new family now, and there is another little boy who will be adopted this year. I will be praying that your receive your referral soon!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712196987563805854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424648590651150689.post-9648877056652528852009-04-29T10:53:00.000-07:002009-04-29T10:53:00.000-07:00Hi Jenny,

There are so many older children over the age of five waiting to be adopted...I'm feeling a little guilty for having focused so much on receiving a young infant!!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821014622765695024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424648590651150689.post-57007242857335769732009-04-29T06:48:00.000-07:002009-04-29T06:48:00.000-07:00Julie,

When it comes to the welfare of a child, it always makes me happy to see a placement (even if it isn't with us). I am glad that you share your experiences with me, so that I know what I have to look forward to and what to prepare for. So how long do you think it will be before you can travel? I know it is a guessing game, but do you have any thoughts on it?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289755798961856657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424648590651150689.post-86347105009166691002009-04-29T05:49:00.000-07:002009-04-29T05:49:00.000-07:00Jenny, I know that is so hard to hear.

I hate to tell you that we are still getting those "I don't know anything" emails from our agency at this stage in the game. The only sure fire thing is when they call you to travel. You are in our thoughts and prayers.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15092472031802382209noreply@blogger.com
