I know you all have probably been wondering about how things are going and wanting to know more in general! We don't really know any more then we knew a month ago but I can elaborate a little. Probably the most frequently asked question I've gotten is when are we going to China? When do we bring Kai home? Well we don't know for sure but our agency told us worst case scenario is 5-6 months after referral. That would put us at the end of September or the end of October. It seems really long but we are very content knowing that everything is in God's timing and there is no use fretting and carrying on if we cant change it. Also we have a LOT to do before the China trip! I have recently changed jobs and I have such a big transition to make with that. Lots to learn and a major career change. Also Reuben has been working diligently on Kai's room. It is far from done but is looking better every day! I've been having fun buying things we will need for our little guy and our house has been taken over by miscellaneous boys stuff! ha So I guess I said a little bit more about Kai. Well as I said in an earlier post he was born on January 26th 2010. He is roughly 27 lbs and 31 inches tall. I have had a time trying to figure out what size he is going to be wearing so if any of you have little ones about that size any insight would be much appreciated! Also in earlier posts I mentioned that we are adopting a special needs child. We feel the need to say a little bit about Kai's medical needs just so every one will know what to expect. Kai is a completely healthy normal little boy except for one minor detail. His left leg is roughly two inches shorter than his right. He will require two to three surgeries in the future to hopefully lengthen his leg. That being said, Kai can run, jump, and go up and down steps. He is said to be a good sleeper and not a picky eater. He is cooperative with getting dressed,and knows what no means. The information we got is just so very positive about him and what a lovely, happy child he is. Going through this process we so had our hearts and minds set on a little girl much younger than Kai. It's funny though when we saw that little face, a read about how lovely Kai is, all that flew straight, directly out the window! A wise man once said that adoption is fairly near the very center of God's heart and I couldn't agree more! After all isn't that the story of salvation? All of us who follow Christ are adopted into the family of God! It is such a peaceful feeling knowing that God is in control of us, and this situation and that no matter the ups and downs and jet lag and exhaustion that face us we are in the perfect will of God! Whom or what shall we fear?? Got questions?? Ask away! I will be updating as I have anything to say.
