flexible

well we went to the thing on saturday and they said they were praying and believing for 500 people to show up and 1200 people came!! whoa. and then the woman from colorado social services got up and just cried and cried that so many people would care about her orphans. and she said never in her 20-some years of working for the government she had never known the church and state to come together like that and for it to be that successful. she said that she could not have paid enough money for all of those agencies to come together like that. ok. so all that being said.
we went in saying "we'd be willing to adopt one child and we'd like it to be an infant or toddler." we left disappointed that a trio of brothers already has an adoption in progress. but we did find another little guy named Alex that we are wanting to put our name in the hat for. all we know about him is that he's 7 and that he likes baseball and football. i know what you're thinking, there are LEAGUES more issues that we are not aware of. yes. that is very true. and we may not even be qualified to adopt him. but if you were that 7 year old boy hoping that someone would love you and know you and you wouldn't just be a number in the system, wouldn't you hope that we would at the very least put our name in the hat? so we'll see. if you pray, pray for guidance for us because obviously, going in thinking we were going to go down the chinese baby route and leaving on the older sibling route are two TOTALLY different routes. the only thing we do know for sure now is that we are open for adoption.
