Since we started discussing adoption with Jacob, Camryn and Bailey, they have been excited in normal conversation daily. This carries over to their prayers every night before bed. Often it is something as simple as a prayer that he will get here soon and is safe wherever he is (Jacob) or bless this boy (Camryn and Bailey). As we have been talking more and waiting longer, the impatience that we express is further shown through our children. We are imperfect and rely a great deal on God for the peace we need daily.
This week the kids have started talking about "the picture." We know that when we get a referral from Rwanda, it will not include a great amount of information. Normally it includes a brief medical history, in French, and a picture that we can use to get a little bit of physical information. In our conversation over the last few days we have been hopeful for our referral because of ongoing progress that is expressed through our chat room and other sources. It was especially cute when tonight Camryn said tonight that she could not wait for the picture. You can imagine the innocent excitement and the giddy face that lights up her beautiful round face and below her curly hair. You could probably also imagine little Bailey bouncing up and down and yelling, "Yeah! Yeah!" It was wonderful to also hear Camryn say that she needed to make sure to pray for the picture tonight.
I know that we will continue to pray with our children for our son. I know that our Bible study and church groups will also keep us in their prayers. I also know that God has already been answering prayers as we have gone through this process. We can wait (if we have to), and I imagine that God is waiting to jump up and down with us and express his joy when we finally receive our referral and plan our travels.
