So the long awaited mayo craft fair is over! Val and I worked so hard to prepare and it showed! I don't think we had any idea how much we really had until we set everything out on our tables. We have plenty left over in case anyone needs any last minute christmas gifts!
So on to the rough news. the same week of the fair we were told by our adoption agency that the 9-12 month wait has now been extended to 24+ month wait. whoaaaaaa. I knew it wouldn't be 9 months (we are at 8 months now) but 24+????? between gov't regulations and increased humanitarian work the number of adoptable orphans has decreased . I know this is a great thing that because of aid to families in need families are able to stay together. but it is still hard to think that the number of children in need of homes has truly shrank that much.
I think we are just heartbroken that our hopes of having a family continue to be just out of reach.
We have attempted to keep busy just so we don't sit around and dwell about about it. House hunting and open houses for us. we think we found the house perfect for us, only catch - still need a buyer for our house! We always like to do things a little different or challenging, and trying to sell a house in the off season - in the middle of the holidays should present enough of a challenge.
keep us in your prayers we need wisdom and patience (nothing new!).
