Santonastaso Update

With Kendra's departure, we have prayed steadily about taking another fost-adopt placement. For obvious reasons, we are hesitant and told God that we would wait on him to bring us the placement. We have refrained from looking at profiles and have just taken a wait and see approach. Isn't God funny?

Through a friend, we have learned about a little girl whose mom died just before Christmas. She is 10 years old and in need of a long term placement and/or adoptive home. She is currently staying with her grandmother, but cannot stay there due to grandma's health concerns. It seems like things might move very quickly once we meet her and the county doesn't have much history since she (thankfully) hasn't been in foster care but has been with family since her mom's death. This means that we face making this life altering decision quickly on what feels like very little information. Isn't God funnt?

Please pray for us as we enter into this decision. May God's direction be clear, may we get the answers we seek, may we have confidence as we trust God with our family.
