A little bit of hope lost...

It's funny how quickly things can turn. Just yesterday we had great hope that we would be adopting Kay. Then this morning we received word that the orphanage will not write a letter for various reasons. So, we are left wondering what now? Do we continue to finish our dossier with hopes to adopt Kay - the chances are that China will require a family with their dossier completed when she appears on the list - but that's the questions: when will she appear on the list - in 1 month, or 3 months? we do not know... So, what happens if we are almost done with our dossier but still are not close enough to being done to adopt Kay? do we try to adopt another precious little girl? Or is God saying to us "Now is not the time." So many questions... we are praying about all of these things right now - please pray with us too...

We also recieved an update in the mail about her with a picture. Here is what it said: Kay is a happy and very active little girl. She moves quickly and keeps her nannies on their toes with her mischievous nature. She walks very well and climbs up and down stairs on her own. Kay is a good sleeper and has a daily routine of eating, playing and napping. She has a bright and cheerful disposition, is fond of music, and will nod her head along with the rhythm. She is very smart and likes to imitate her nanny or the other children's actions. She can tell by her nany's facial expression if she did something right or wrong. She also is able to draw a straight line with a pencil or crayon.

It sounds like she'd fit in perfectly here!!! Her birthday is the same as mine - Oct. 6th. So, we will be putting together a bday package for her soon too:)
