Sooo, we got a potential match... 7yr and 14yr old boy.
Everyone (DH and I, our agency CWs and CPS CW) was so excited about what a good match this was... the CPS caseworker even called our agency, they day she got our bio and was all excited... then she clarifies with our adoption CW, "they do know that __ has aspergers and mild MR, right?"
UH NO! We didnt know that, cuz its not the the bio! Umm... I'm not sure what to do... our heart is pulled... we're tryin to get some more info, but... part of me is screaming "what am i thinking?!?!?" and part of me is so excited....
I know that most of the time, GOD is not concerned with my list of what I dont think I can do or handle - cuz HIS plans are higher... and better... and HE REALLY, really knows what I... and my DH can handle...
so my heart feels like it's spinnin... I'd love some prayers for direction and CLEAR peace as to what we're sposed to do, please. :eek:

Congratulations on the potential match! :) Will be praying for clarity for you. We've turned down matches when things were not 'right' - not that the kids weren't right, or that we weren't right, but just that we would not be 'right' together. Super hard to do, though.And on the God knowing what He can enable you to handle, that's sooooo true!! There have been many, many days when I repeat to myself, "God would not give me these children to parent and then abandon me. So whatever they need, we'll figure it all out." That doesn't mean it's simple, or easy!, but we're surviving and even, thriving. Mostly.... :p
