Matched!

The news we've been waiting for. We are officially matched with our little girl. This means that the Central Authority in her country will no longer take other families into consideration for her, she's ours. In the next few weeks we should be receiving more information about her, her medical needs and hopefully a new picture. This is a huge step forward in the adoption process. Once we receive her proposal from the CA we can file yet some more paperwork here and then get a court date and go see her. We are still cautiously optimistic that it will be in November in time for her birthday (Thanksgiving) but we'll see, its in God's hands. To my prayer warriors, thank you for praying for this match, next we are praying for a grant that we've applied for, this will go a long way in helping to cover some of the costs. We are also praying for a quick turn around on the CA's proposal, it could take weeks (and weeks) but we're praying God will open doors and it'll be sooner. Please continue to pray for our family as we prepare to bring this little treasure home and pray for little "V" during this time to prepare her heart to accept this big crazy family as her own. Thanks for all who are praying for us! As always if any of you feel led to donate to help us cover costs please visit "V"'s Reeces' Rainbow page, she's listed as Temperance (obviously not her real name) and there is a paypal link there where you can give tax free. http://reecesrainbow.org/?s=willock
