My tricky Friend!

During meetings with our previous case worker, the one who did our home study, she kept referring back to the demographics she had read on Wik.ipedia about our area. How less that 1% of the local population was African American and 3% was Hispanic. The remaining 96+% were Caucasian. She kept asking about the diversity of our area. How blacks were accepted. I had a feeling then that the agency would be holding out for a white child for us.

This morning I was praying while in the shower. I pray and think while I am getting ready for work. No TV, no radio, just me and God having a chat. I hear this: "you will adopt a Caucasian child". I'll admit, my heart kinda fell. I have had my heart set on just getting a child. I don't care what race. I don't care if they are black, white, yellow or even purple! (Blue would scare me, though) Realistically, a white child is a long, long wait. It's not that there are not white children in foster care. There certainly are! It's just that the white children are adopted so quickly!I know I've waited 12 years and a few more months doesn't seem much longer to most people but to me, who is just soooooo ready, it's an eternity!

Maybe God has a child right around the corner. Maybe there is a baby being born soon who will come straight to our house! If the state ever issues our foster license, that is. I trust God but could he clue me in just a little? Tell me I will adopt a white child but not tell me when??? That's just mean, holding out on me like that:-)
