WE ARE #2!!!

I know that I JUST posted that we were number 3 on the referral wait list, but to be fair that was old information when I gave it. We had an update call this afternoon and found out that we are number 2! Happy Thanksgiving to us!!

In honor of Orphan Sunday...we are #3!

That is basically all I've got. We found out that we are number 3 on the wait list about a month ago and I just realized that I never updated the blog with our new number. We've actually got another update next week...wouldn't it be great to find out that we have moved up again?!?! I'm sure that's just wishful thinking. It's amazing how slow this process feels at some points and how fast it feels at others!

We have finally finished all of our paperwork updates...that was fun. More home study visits, reference letters, doctor visits (TB tests and blood draws...yikes!), fingerprints, background checks, notarizations, apostilles...glad that's over! Our dossier update was sent to RMI a few weeks ago so we are covered with most stuff for another year.

C and B are more excited than ever about a new sibling and are continuing to name him/her. Right now C is hoping for a boy...named Wrench Bow. Wrench Bow Bouchillon. We'll just go ahead and add that to the short list.

As always, in honor of Orphan Sunday we ask you to take a few minutes today to prayerfully consider your role in caring for orphans/foster children. If you aren't doing anything, you should be. If you don't think it's your place, it is.

Love,
Ellie
