Good News about Sweeti!

We received an e-mail from AIAA today that they have received word about "Sweeti". She is scheduled to have surgery next month. The doctors feel that it is time, and feel that the surgery should be done before the age of one to prevent nerve damage to her legs. We also know her name (can't post for security purposes), "A". This means "one who lives in the heart" or "blessings". The agency worker also relayed that her children's home feels she will be released for adoption within a couple months...so probably right around her first birthday. They are sending us the instructions to begin assembling our dossier. Lots of work ahead..but it will feel good to get to work bringing her home.

Still Waiting

It has been almost 2 months since our orphanage approval. It sure is hard to wait for her clearance. And this may go on for months. Even a year. We at least would like to know her name, birthday, how she's growing, etc. I have estimated her birthday to April or May based upon the only information we have. I pray that by the time she turns one sometime this spring, we will be able to commemorate her first birthday with paperwork! I'm sure God has a plan for her/us. If only I were privy to it! Waiting....
