We got an email from our sweet AGCI case worker, K, this morning with our February 2012 waitlist number...
#15!!!
Yep, for the month of February we are "officially" on the AGCI girl waitlist at #15!!!
And we really think that we are already "unofficially" at least #14 because of some referrals that have gone out that were not accounted for in our official number! YAY!!! So according to our countdown wall upstairs, we are already #14!
This is the first time in our wait that our "official wait list number" has been lower than the number of months we have been "officially waiting on the wait list". We are #15 and we have been on the waitlist for over 17 months. I don't really think that means anything, but just thought I'd let ya'll know! :)
It looks like we are maintaining our average "2 spots per month" movement. And trust me, I am not complaining one bit! We have already had two different months of zero movement, so I am always happy for ANY movement that brings us closer to our baby girl! Every spot we move is because a precious child has been referred to their forever family, and that is always a reason to rejoice!
Of course, I would LOVE to see even more referrals go out per month, and I am praying that will happen! In my time in the Word this morning, I read Psalm 37:7 which says,
"Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him."
That has probably been my biggest struggle in our adoption journey...to truly REST in Him, and to wait PATIENTLY for Him. I am trying though. As a precious friend emailed me yesterday, "He knows where she is today and how to make this whole thing work out to bring you together."

Oh, her encouraging words are so very true. We are trusting His perfect plan to bring us to Caroline Faith. She is in His hands, and knowing that helps my heart to rest.
