Guess what wonderful news we got yesterday morning?
WE ARE IN THE THIRTIES!!!!!!
We got an email from our AGCI case worker, K, yesterday telling us that our official May waitlist number is...
#39!!!!!!
Yep, we are officially number 39 on the AGCI girl waitlist for Ethiopia, and we are SO EXCITED!!! So happy to be so much closer to Caroline Faith! Praise God!!!!
And ya'll know, we are totally lovin' the THIRTIES!!!! :)
This was another HUGE answered prayer for us! It is so amazing to see how God has answered our prayers over the past few months. Back in February, we prayed and prayed that our March number would be in the 40's...and it was! Then in March, I prayed that in April we would be one number lower than we thought...and we were! And then in April, we prayed that we would be in the 30's for May...AND WE ARE!!!
Well, our agency also let us know that waitlist times could extend up to 18 months. We were kind of expecting this with all of the slow downs in the the Ethiopian adoption process recently. So this news didn't come as a total shock.
When we first got on the waitlist back in September, we were told that our waitlist time would probably be about 12-18 months. Then a couple of months later, AGCI shortened the estimated waitlist time to 9-12 months, and we were thrilled! But now it looks like we are back to the 12-18 month time frame, which is really right where we started!
God has been teaching us SO MUCH during this wait time, and I hope to be able to share more about it soon! We are trusting in Him, pouring out our hearts to Him, and putting all our HOPE in Him alone. We know that our daughter is safe in His arms. We long for the day when we will see her sweet face, but we are resting in His perfect plan!
And for today, we are rejoicing right where He has us...#39!!!
