We are still waiting to find out about Li-Xuan, the little girl that we are hoping will become our Anna. I wrote our agency on Tuesday of this week to find out if they know any more information and had not heard a response, so lastnight, I wrote them again and also cc'd a copy to the social worker at our agency and the social worker wrote me this morning right away and here's what she wrote:
Thanks for checking in. I was just going to contact you because I checked in with Taiwan about that yesterday. They wrote back and said that they are presenting the files to the birth mother to make her decision shortly. It sounds like we should know soon, but they did not give me an exact time frame. We will let you know as soon as we have information. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
It has been exactly 4 weeks since I first saw the picture of little Li-Xuan and I remember thinking how precious she was... and how much she looked like my mom :) When I first saw her picture, I was not at all serious about petitioning for her... I have often taken peeks at waiting children's list on various agency's websites and thought how cute and precious the children were, but she really caught my attention right away. There were also 2 other VERY precious and cute girls on there along with her, but my heart really didn't feel compelled to find out more about them like it did with Li-Xuan.
We don't know whether she is ours or not, Last year when we were presented the opportunity to adopt 2 precious Indonesian girls, I felt certain they were ours just because God was the one that opened all those doors and we didn't do anything on our own... I was naive about the way God works... I assumed in my mind that since God was the one that opened those doors and we didn't ask for it, that it would all fall into place... we found out the hard way, that that is not always the case... so, just like with the Indonesian girls, I feel in my heart Li-Xuan is ours and God defiinitely has opened the door for this one yet again... but whether she is ours or not, I just don't know ... yet. I have asked God to show me if she is, but there are times when God doesn't show you... until it's time to know... I think if I knew she was ours, maybe I won't rely on Him as much.... all we know is we have to follow the path God has shown us and so far, God has led us down this road to petition for her. If this path leads us to heartache, God will take care of us... He already has proven to be faithful in that department :) If this path leads us to our promise of Anna Grace, I would be so glad that we followed the leading of God in our hearts to pursue her... despite the huge chance of getting our hearts broken again.
