Hey, all. Just wanted to ask for some "cosmic energy" to come our way (some folks call this prayer, but if that isn't your thing, positive thoughts work well, too).
Tomorrow is the selection committee for the two girls we inquired about back in July and made it to final group of three families being considered. The "committee" is a group of three senior adoption workers who will hear about us from the social worker who interviewed us on the phone last Tuesday for an hour. She will present an overall picture of what our family has to offer these two little girls (6 yrs and 2 yrs), and will show them our mini family photo album.
The good news is that we learned tonight that one family dropped out last week (must have been selected for another sibling group), so now it's just down to us and another family. The case workers sound like they feel good about us, but there are no guarantees, since it's up to the selection committee (not the girls' case workers). I hope to be posting the "GOOD" news this time tomorrow!!!

Ugh...We got the call tonight, and we are the "backup family"...meaning that the other family was selected.
So after I wiped my tears and blew my nose, I got on the phone and started calling the case workers for other children we've inquired about. Nobody can give us any definite answers, but they all "feel for us" and are telling us to keep our heads up.
Thanks, all, for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. It will happen, just not tonight.

So sorry to hear the news. Hang in there. I echo Michelle's comments that your children our out there waiting for you to come get them. (It would be much easier of course, if "He/They" gave you an address, telephone number or something. :) ) I know that it will happen and now it is just a matter of when.
Thoughts are with you!
