Not much of an update, really. No news is…no news. Lainey wasn’t on the last list of Waiting Children from our agency. CCAI (Chinese Children Adoption International – our adoption agency) requested a new list of children from the CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs – the agency in China, in charge of China’s orphans). They hope to receive that new list in the next few weeks.
Once I hear that they HAVE this new list, I’m considering camping out in the agency’s front yard. You know, like you do when you want really good tickets for a concert or basketball game? Grin…
So, we wait. And, pray that we see her face soon…before Christmas. It’s really all I want for Christmas.

Donna,
I’m praying you’ll find Lainey on the next list too! This wait must be so difficult ~ Hang in there!

You are so right when you talked about the “lists.” Lainey hasn’t been on any of them yet because God has been waiting for Lainey to become available just for you and Randy. You both will know immediately in your hearts that you were especially chosen to receive Lainey into your lives. It is all in God’s timing and in His plan.
Your last sentence about all you wanting for Christmas is Lainey really touched my heart. I could feel the yearning and love that you already have for my granddaughter – Lainey. It really would be a wonderful Christmas present for all of us. But if not by then… any day will be wonderful.

Praying for you to see Lainey’s face soon…
I saw Aug. is through the Review Room…. Congrats on this milestone! This will just speed your process up once you find Lainey and submit LOI! :)
Love, Sarah

Praying for you as you wait for the new list. May God give you peace as you wait and lots of joy when He reveals your precious daughter to you! I can’t wait!
