We just received word this week that Yong will soon be adopted by an American family and will be able to have his surgery here in the United States. Isn't that wonderful?

I keep hoping that I will see a note with an official surgery date. He is such a beautiful child and I think of him often and pray for him. I hope he will soon be well and have a forever family.

We were interested in a girl who was aging out in April. (we just got back in Feb with two 13yo girls) Though we were in no way prepared financially to return to China so quickly, after prayer we decided to pursue the girl aging out in April. After inquiring we received the sad news -- her birthday was TWO DAYS PAST, and it was too late. She could not be adopted. (even though her birthday is a legal but arbitrary date) We were quite sad about the situation. We know God is sovereign and we pray He will provide for this young lady and give her good future that we will never see. Older children are a great blessing. Older children need a home, a mom, a dad; just like the younger ones. And it is amazing how rigid the system is. We were interested in a girl who was aging out in April.

I just don't know what all the things are that take time in the adoption process and if any of them could be shortened for the sake of this boy.
