We are ready to adopt again! 

Things have been going so wonderfully with our little girl, we want so badly to bring another child into our family. This time, right from the start we are hoping for a 10 yr old girl. We are hoping to find out about some of the children we have met during our 1st adoption. Right now the goal is to have all paperwork ready to be submitted by Jan. 1st 2007, as I don't think they will be accepting dossiers before this time any way.

In the meantime, we need to get our finances in order and prepare for another looooong wait. I'm thinking it may be easier this time around but on the other hand, if we THINK it is possible that things may work out for us to adopt one of the children we have already met, it may make it harder since it will be a longer wait from the time we have met our child. One little girl in particlar that we are very interested in is sadly left out from the others. She is a sweet but shy little girl so seems to easily be pushed aside by the other kids. She ends up with the dirtiest clothes and the oldest most worn out shoes (no cover on the toes).  It's hard thinking about her over there like that, regardless if she is meant to be our daughter. I'm not sure yet if sending her clothes and things would be of any help, the other kids may just take them from her anyway. I hope to find out more about what we can do with a friends help translating for us with another friend who is a caregiver there.

We continue to pray for God's Will for us and our acceptance.
