Even more referrals!

I heard last night from our agency that the assignment committee met again on Friday March 30th and made five assignments!  Oh boy!!  This is really good news on a few counts.  First, as you may recall, the committee had just met the previous Friday and made two assignments, so the fact that they met again that soon is wonderful.  And the fact that there were five more assignments is spectacular!  One, two, three, four, five precious kiddos!!  I am so happy for those involved.  Furthermore, we heard that the assignments were made to families that were at the top of the list.  So, in addition to children being placed with their forever families and families getting to welcome their new children and all the beauty and joy of that, I am selfish enough to get an extra thrill because these referrals affect our spot on the wait list.  Just being honest here.  We move up on the wait list only when people above us get referrals, and it sounds like this was the case with these referrals.  So...I'm thinking that when the committee updates the wait list, which will probably occur around mid-April, we will be somewhere in the single digits.  High single digits, but single digits nonetheless.  The last piece of news was that we were told that the committee is hoping to continue to meet on a monthly basis.  This is completely thrilling to me.  That means that they might meet again at the end of April.  I am trying to protect my heart, I am trying to not get too excited, but every effort to do so is failing.  Hopefully soon, probably not April, but possibly May or June, we will get to hear about our new kiddos!  I shouldn't be thinking ahead, but there you go.  I can't help it.  There could be delays, but I can't help but think that we are really getting close to seeing their precious faces, their beautiful eyes, their soft skin.  Will there be one?  Two?  Boy?  Girl?  Boys?  Girls?  I am asking God for the desire of my heart, and I know in His goodness He will make the perfect addition to our family.  Jesus, I trust in You!
