Another option

Last week I was approached by a woman from my church who knew of a child that needed an adoptive family. She was in the middle of an adoption with another family, but they found her to be too much to deal with and the family wants to end the adoption process. My heart screams out for this little girl. She is 4 years old and from Russia. I know so little about her, but it makes me wonder is this my daughter??  How do I know?

While the idea of getting my daughter so much sooner than originally thought excites me, I can't help but wonder about the little girl I thought was waiting for me in Lithuania. I am praying and praying and praying for some clear indication from God as to what to do. Sometimes I wish God had email, so he could send me a note to proceed or hold my course.

Also, my husband is back now from a mission trip in Lithuania. He visited an orphanage while there and met the sweetest little girl. She was so scared and shy. She had only been there for 2 days. Oh how he could have brought her home with him.  I think of her often, wondering would be able to adopt her. Is she my daughter??

I wish so much that the wait wouldn't be so long! I hope God answers my prayer soon...the prayer for clarity as to wether to proceed with our Lithuanian adoption or to seek an adoption of the little girl from Russia. The woman from church suggested both......
