All aboard the rumor train!!!

First Rumors have hit on China Adopt Talk....if you don't want to hear it, stop reading now.

The rumor is the cutoff will be Nov. 24th (our LID). This is nerve racking considering the first rumors are usually the too-good-to-be-true pie-in-the-sky kind of rumors. I'm just going to try and focus on the fact if we're not this month, we're definitely the next.

My small group from church asked if we would like the group to set next Friday aside to fast and pray for all matters about our adoption. Okay, I feel a little selfish considering everyone has something that needs prayer...but at this point we'll take all the help we can get! So, we've thankfully accepted the offer. I do believe in the power of prayer. If anyone else wants to join in our prayers on Friday, below is what we're holding out to God.

• Pray she (or he) is healthy and well cared for by the nannies or foster parents
• Pray she will attach easily and accept us as her parents quickly
• Pray for her caregivers
• Pray the paperwork continues smoothly, that it is accurate, and the remaining process is predictable
• Pray for us to accept God's timing and continue to learn His way is perfect.
