Blessings from Facebook?

The other night while perusing our adoption agency Facebook group, I came across a post about a family getting their child from Shantou City. In my excitement, I left a comment about how our little girl is from Shantou City and that we hoped to get her later this year...

About an hour later, a woman private messaged me to see what orpahanage our daughter was in. After exchanging tid-bits of info, we found out that this woman had been to Phoebe's orphanage in July! When we told her our little one's 'website' name, she knew exactly who we were talking about and then sent us a link to the blog she had written about Phoebe just a month or so ago!! (We will share the blog once we are allowed to electronically share info about the kids)

How awesome is that? I read it out loud to Brian but could barely get through it without crying. (I'm pretty sure he got a little teary eyed himself) It was amazing! Later, she gave us her phone number and we made plans to talk tonight!!

Yesterday, while on Facebook, I read a post, from the same woman, that another missions group would be going back to the same orphanage that she had gone to earlier this year. That means that another group would be visiting Phoebe in November!

I contacted the woman and she passed me along to the lady that's leading the new group. We 'met' today and she said should would look for Phoebe while she's there and try to get some pictures and video for us!! AND she asked me to text her a picture of Brian and I so she could show it to Phoebe!

What a relief to know that our little girl might get some extra attention before we can scoop her up, but it does make me sad for Easton. I hope that they told him a family has selected him and that he understands he is wanted!

I can't wait to bring this process to a close and begin the journey of FAMILY!

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8
