We found a little guy and requested his file to preview. He has a CL/CP just like Jarren and is only a year younger.
I made the fatal error of falling in love with his sweet little face before we prayed and that was a HUGE mistake. After we received the file and began the initial paper work we knew in our hearts he was not our son. Thankfully John and I were both willing to be obedient to where God wanted us as a family instead of pressing forward with zeal.
The day we determined that the agency needed to be made aware of our decision not to go forward, we received an email from ASIA-associated Services for International adoption.
They had a new SN list and I took a look.
There he was 7 months old with a Bilateral CL/CP.
Time to pray some more, could he be our son???
We requested the file and it was a long 2 days before I heard back from the agency-I asked for info on a Friday night. Monday morning Marci replied to my inquiry and before noon I had his file.
We got everything to Dr. R at Operation Smile and the International Childrens Clinic based affiliated with CHKD. I had an appointment on Jan 24 to see the pediatrician.
