If you have been following our story, you'll remember that while we were on vacation in September, we were made aware of several "Children of Promise" (children with correctable impairments) for whom we wrote letters of desire to adopt 2 of about 10. We were not referred to either due to our log-in date (someone else with a LID before ours was given the referrals). Then, our agency countered back with several children who did not 'make the cut' the first time around. One was a little boy with a deformed hand that I could have snatched right up and brought home from China. After we prayed, we realized that Joanna Mei would be revealed to us at a later time, but I felt heartbreak for the little guy, like I was turning my back on him.
Well, I found out today that the boy has been adopted and his new parents will be picking him up soon. Thank you, God, for your provision for this very deserving child!

How great it is that you were able to find out that he has a forever home! Sometimes we never know how our prayers are answered. I hope you will have Joanna soon (hurry up China).
