He knows the ones he has for you, he knows their names (perhaps new names ;-) and He will not let the "agency" forget about you. <BR/><BR/> I will be praying for favor over your license and your file. Ask to see if your "file" is on a computer base with your agency, so other social workers who get your file, may be able to help match you up. I know when we were waiting after our first adoption with DCF (department of children and families) we didn't get a phone call for over a year...(big sigh)...but it turns out that they never put our name into the system, so no one but our social worker knew we were "ready and available." <BR/><BR/> He knows the ones he has for you, perhaps right now they are coming into the system...May God shine a light on your family and may your match made in heaven happen quicker than we think or hope.<BR/> Repeated phone calls (ie-harassment ;-)~ in the nicest way I mean ;-) can also help. YOu know the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I learned in the CT system to become rather squeaky at times. <BR/><BR/>blessings my dear friend<BR/>Kimmie<BR/>mama to 6<BR/>one homemade and 5 adoptedKimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462108880167593207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9672908576255934.post-5135452936689752292007-08-04T14:14:00.000-07:002007-08-04T14:14:00.000-07:00What a blessing that she hears the Spirit's prompt...What a blessing that she hears the Spirit's prompting in this process.
