Still no referral! In the past 2 weeks there were referrals for 3 infant boys, 2 toddler boys, 3 infant girls and 2 sibling groups. No toddler girls!! I spoke to our social worker last night and she said that she could change our home study to state that we want an infant or toddler...but I am not sure that is what we or God wants for us. She told me to pray about it, maybe God has something to tell us? Lindy and Doug just had their first home study appt. last night and as I spoke with Lindy, we discovered that we both have the feeling that something crazy is going to come of us both going to Ethiopia. Maybe we will travel at the same time?? The courts in Ethiopia close in August and September, so if we don't get a referral soon, we could be waiting until October to travel! What if Lindy and Doug go early? Maybe our gotcha day will be the same as Reese's, or on Reider's birthday? I just know that God has the perfect child for us and the perfect plan of when we are supposed to go...I just get frustrated - daily! It is so hard not knowing!

January has come and gone with no referral. It is so much harder to wait when you are at the top of the list...We pray every night to bring our little girl home soon. But I have found that patience is not my best virtue!
