I just communicated with my adoption agency via email yesterday. Another person on the list has received a referral. I checked to see if I was next. She said there are two things that are holding up my referral 1) I am single and Ethiopia has banned singles to adopt now, so they are squeezing us in every now and then 2) I am looking for such a young fella. She did say that Grace, from Hope Adoption in St. Louis, thinks my referral will come soon.
I also found out that we will be staying in a guest house while we are there and that travel can be within 2 months once you pass court. It sounded like there are several who did not pass court the other day and it has been rescheduled for March 13th. Many random reasons for this. I am praying for these families to pass and be able to proceed with their travel plans.
I have also been contacting people about daycare for next year when I have to go back to work. I spoke to two very nice ladies this week, but know that I can not afford their services. They sound great, but being single and an educator has its limits on what I can afford. I know God is going to provide the right person for Samuel's care. He is in control. I have to keep reminding myself of that.
It is messy out here today. Raining all day. The forecast for tomorrow night is snow. My friends are going to light the magical Snowman candle tomorrow night. Make sure you wear your pjs inside out and sleep with a spoon. It doesn't hurt to flush two ice cubes down the toilet either. These are all elementary myths that I am trying to pass on to my students. :)

Hi Gina!!! Is your sister in law the choir director at JRA? I don't know her, but asked a friend and she said that was a Lister (the name does sound familiar). Are you with America World Adoptions? I am so happy for you and your upcoming referral... so exciting!!!!
