I talked with our social worker about the little rumor that Scottius and I had heard about a month ago. For the first 6 months of 2007, no one will be able to adopt babies (internationally) from South Korea so that South Koreans will have a chance to adopt these babies. After the 6 months are up then any of us on lists for adopting these sweet little ones will be able to adopt them!Now, we are still not on the actual list but are still on hold until God gives us further notice to push ahead! We heard from one of the ministries who will help us with fundraising but will not be able to provide a grant for us (They do not have money at this time.) However, we know of more ministries and organizations who provide grants so we will pursue on!
Remember the fingerprinting we had to do about 5 weeks ago? Well, Scottius has to have his fingerprints redone because his didn't show up good enough. At that time, we will then just have to have a little interview with the immigration officer, and the fingerprinting will be complete. We all feel pretty certain that his fingerprints will not go through again so the immigration officer I talked to from another city said that she would set this up for us. She was very kind and gracious, and we really appreciate her help. Otherwise we would have to go to an entirely different city miles away.
Obstacles, obstacles, obstacles only make us more determined! It will all work out in the end, and we will get just the little boy that God wants us to have! Now in the next post, I will have to have Scottius' help to set up a little voting thing so we can see "which" name you think is best for our new baby! Be on the lookout for it! Oh, also be on the lookout for our new yahoo website called Lucy's Creations!

It's hard to wait for something like this. We know things are all meant to work for good, even if it's hard to hang on to that belief sometimes.
I vote for Little Ricky. :)
I admire your determination! How sweet adoption day will be.
Marie and Barb, thanks so much for your encouragement!! Amazingly so far, God has really sustained my faith through this. I know that I know that I know that it will work out, just like when Scottius and I were going through our problems and trying to reconcile. (Does that make sense? It is like an unshakeable peace.) Now something could happen tomorrow to discourage me or us, who knows.
Another thing is that we have to really focus on Angus right now. (He got that name in there somehow, didn't he?) He is a junior, and we want to make sure that he is ready for his ACT and college. It would help us a lot to get the baby the last few months of his senior year when we have a lot of that stuff done. I am excited about the baby but content with how our lives are right now. We are just enjoying being together as a couple and a family and will never have some of these opportunities together again. We want to savor every moment together. I guess what I am trying to say is that there is a time for everything, and it is very obvious that this isn't God's time for that little one. But boy when he gets here, we are going to be thrilled to pieces!!!!! So yes, adoption day will be really sweet and probably pretty teary-eyed. I get a lump in my throat now just thinking about it and of course Baptism Day as well. Thanks again for the encouragement! You guys are precious!!
Hey Barb, I will run that name by Scottius and Angus!! :)
Praying for it all to work out, all in the Lord's good time. Waiting can be so hard!
