Change of Age Request

The question that our agency social worker wrote and asked about was the ages of the girls we are requesting. We had originally said two girls: ages 6 - 36 months for one and 3 - 7 years for the second. Her thought was that it would slow down our referral by having the request that specific. The easiest thing to write down is either sex child any age. We would have a referral in about 2-3 months!

My thoughts are that God knows exactly who our girls are, and even if we open up the ages to be less specific, I really believe that God knows the desires of our hearts, and He put them there. Therefore, He will honour them!

Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

Our hearts desire is to have a little girl to raise from tiny and an older one that is the right age to play with the younger set of 3, 5, 8 year old boys. But maybe we don't know what is best and God's idea and ours is not the same. So we decided to open it up and trust. God will send the girls that He thinks fit our family best.

So our new request is 0 - 48 months for the first child and 0 - 7 years for the second child. Mark my words, we will receive a referral with one child fitting into the 6-36 month range and one child in the 3-7 range. I just feel it. But at the same time we *could* end up with 6 month old twins! AACCCKKKK *LOL* Am I *ready* for *that*???!!! *grin* Keep saying: God knows best!!

As our 14 year old said, when asked his opinion on opening it up, "It is better that way, cause then it will really be a surprise what we get." Too true!
