with our real hope being the ages 6-12. Any race will be
fine with us. However, our worker is not real keen on
trans-racial adoptions but is willing so long as we are.

I guess it's just really very, very hard when you find a child
in the exchange books, that just looks so perfect for your
family, not to delude yourself and get your hopes up. We will
continue to wait and "try" to be as patient as possible.
But I must admit, this to me is like dragging out that time
while waiting at the hospital for the birth of our daughter.
Just so much waiting, wondering, and praying. I guess this
will just help us build character as we anticipate the gift
of our future child(ren) from the Lord.

Thanks so much everyone for the words of encouragement.
