Mother May I?

Take 3 baby steps forward.

Mother may I?

Yes you may.

Ever play that game? I feel like the adoption process has been an extra long game of Mother May I. Take 3 baby steps forward. Take one hop forward. Try not to get your hopes up.

I can say that today we took one large step forward. It was a step that I was fairly confident in from the information I had received, but without a "Yes you may", I was terrified to get my hopes up.

This morning I got the official word that we will be "going to committee" for K. A date hasn't been selected yet, but sometime in the *hopefully* near future, we will be one of up to three families that a group of people will spend half a day discussing. At the end of that discussion, there should be a decision as to which family is the best fit for this little guy.

God is so much smarter than me. I'm going to trust His plan on this one. But, if I'm being honest, I'm begging Him for this boy. Father, may I?
