The boy

As most of you know, Justin and I requested more information on a little boy from Taiwan. We saw his sweet little face on a waiting child list when we were putting the finishing touches on our home study. After reading many adoption (not so much support groups) we have felt uneasy about the extended wait periods. I got on our agencies waiting child list a few weeks ago, and saw his sweet face once more. Justin and I discussed requesting more information on him and we could go from there.

A few days later our agency sent us an email with a new updated picture (which was the first thing to pop up) and then new updated information. He was absolutely adorable and just melted our hearts. He seemed to be a very happy and active little boy. He was diagnosed at 2 months with a pretty severe special need, but from his profile he only had a mild case. We asked for more specific medical information and prayed a hundred times for God to lead us in the right direction.

We spoke with many friends and family and asked for their support and thoughts about him. We would have loved for this little boy to join our family, but there were so many uncertainties. Without further information, we just couldn't go forward. After not hearing back from our agency, we contacted them once again about his medicals. They then informed us that he had been referred to another family. As hard as it was to let him go I know that God has great plans for this little boy and his forever family. I know our little one is out there and waiting for us. We just need to be patient and wait...something I am not good at.
