So I just received word that we didn't pass, but we are still an open case. We still don't know why we didn't (somebody does, but word hasn't gotten back to us yet), but it could be a missing paper, a change on a piece of paper that needs to be made, someone didn't show up, or a power outage. Having it remain "open" is good b/c once the paper or whatever needs to be done is done, we don't have to wait for a specific day...it will usually be approved once they bring in what they need to bring in. Of course Alex and I just held each other crying--she is such a sweetheart! I am hormonal and worn-out and just want to hold him, but God is faithful and His timing is perfect. The couple we are going to go to Ethiopia didn't pass either--no one did yesterday.
"But these things I plan won't happen right away.
Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place.
It will not be late by a single day."

Tonight, I picked up a DVD of video and pics of our little man. I didn't know what to expect in regard's to emotional connection with our adopted child vs. bio, but when I see his face, my heart is filled with joy and an ache so deep. I want my son home, I ache to kiss his cheeks and see Vince hold his son for the first time. I am just as intimately connected to Titus as I am my other children, and I haven't even touched him yet! Adoption is an amazing mystery and I praise God that He has given us this journey to walk through. Continue to pray that it passes soon! I am sooooooo ready! :)
