Here we go again!

Got another email yesterday about a possible placement for us.  It is the same thing as the last two - legal risk placement for a little girl who needs a possible forever home.  We submit our home study and wait, and wait, and wait. As I mentioned before, this is just kind of how this will be from now on until we either take our names off the list or we have a new placement (or both!).  So we play the waiting game again.  I am giving it a week (two max) to see if we hear anything. If not, we will know that God has a different plan for us and this little one as well.

For those curious here is what we know about this little one:

She is 6 months old and is Caucasian.  She has had some genetic testing showing ocular-auirculo-vertebral spectrum.  She was born with bi-lobal ears and is currently seeing a cranial-facial surgeon to reshape and re-attach her ears properly.  There is no hearing damage according to the tests being done now.  She was also born with ptosis of the left eye.  Basically it did not close ever.  They have done some manual training of the eye lid so that it does close properly now - though it is not "synced" with the right eye.  All of her spinal, renal and heart tests are normal.  She is only 15 pounds likely due to a understimulated sucking reflex.  She is currently in speech therapy for that.  It sounds a little bit "scarier" than I think it really is though.  Most of these "concerns" are cosmetic and they are already working on them.  She already has treatment and is being taken care of now, so it is really a matter of continuing that treatment.  According to the profile we received she is laid back, enjoys other children and is affectionate as well as playful.  This little one just needs a forever home with people who will love and accept her. 

My prayer (as hard as it is to NOT pray that she come to us specifically) is that she will find a safe, loving home with a family that will not only meet her needs but love her like nothing else.  Did I mention it is REALLY hard to not pray that she comes to us instead of praying for her general safety and God's will!  I know I am already in love and I haven't even seen a picture (see my last post).  Oh well, God knows what He is doing so I will trust in that!  As always we appreciate prayers and support!  God Bless!
