Clearing up the confusion...

We received a text message the other day and another friend asked..."If you get a US opportunity first will you NOT be going to Africa?"  I can completely see where the confusion took place, because it may seem crazy.  But Yes, we will do BOTH.  We ARE doing both.  There is a super long wait time right now for children in Africa.  We are still being called there.  And we are still WAITING.   In the meantime, we have filled out paperwork and been approved for a domestic adoption. 
What does that mean?
Within the week our electronic profile will be on the web and available for birth mom's across the United States.  For the last 5 weeks we've been getting emails with birth mom scenarios that come through our agencies.  When we find one that matches our family specifics we submit ourselves for the birth mother to go through.  She could get 10-20 families interested.  And from those profiles she chooses the family she would like to place her child with when he/she is born. 
Only God knows, but our United States wait time could be just as long as in Africa.  We don't have a clue what God has planned for our family.  But, I can say with 100% certainty that He is moving mountains in our household.
