Still no official word yet as to the new WC (waiting child) list for our adoption agency. We still hope that it will be soon, but no word as of yet. Short and sweet post this time
Happy Easter!

Anxiously Waiting for a New List for Our Agency
As March begins another month in our wait, we have had word that our agency will be receiving a new list of children with special needs anytime soon. Hopefully sooner than later. They may even have it already, but don't let anybody know about it until the files are translated from Chinese to English, and a board of volunteer doctors have looked over the files. Then they begin matching the children with families that have submitted a MCC (medical conditions checklist).
We know that families that submitted an MCC in January, February, and most of March have already recieved referrals, and that there are families still waiting for a referral in April and May ahead of our June 3, 07 MCC date. So there is a slight possibilty that we might get a referral off this list. We are secretly hoping this would be the case, but know in our hearts that it might not happen this time around. So we ask all of you following are blog that you would hold us and Emma up in your prayers that we might get matched off of this list.
We knew that we would use our back room as Emma's bedroom, but have not done much of anyting with it. A year ago we donated to "LOVE INC." the full sized bed that was back there, that we got from our friends Mark & Krista Webber, when they moved to Oregon. And we really have not done anything since. We did buy a crib/transitional bed last November on sale. Eric had painted our old dresser to put in Emma's room, but everyhting had been out in the garage until recently. We decided to start putting her room together last month and have been slowly moving things into her room. Our friends Jeff and Spring gave us some toys last summer and a changing table. We are not sure how old Emma will be yet so might use the changing table for that purpose or use it for shelving. We posted pictures of some of the furniture we have waiting for Emma.
