The phone call

Today was the day we had "the phone call".  It's a conference call with the China team and its purpose is to go over the "openness list".  What is that?

It's a list of special need conditions that you are asked to check a YES or NO or Willing to discuss box.    It lists things such as brain conditions, missing limbs, cleft palate, blood disorders, autism, down syndrome, and on and on.  It's tough.  

You are basically asked to "chose" your openness to such.  This is the 3rd time we've had to go over this, and this call was to confirm those decisions as YES or NO.   Bottom line:  It SUCKS!
We will love our child unconditionally, without a doubt, but this form is asking us to chose special needs in a way that determines which children we will get referred to.   

I ask any of you reading this to continue to PRAY over all the waiting children.  Pray for our little one, and that we will have a peace in knowing that THIS child is the one God brought to us.

May His plan unfold according to His will.  "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord...." Phill 4: 5-6

Stay closely tuned.
