A cool email from Kate at AGCI regarding God's perfect plans:
Hello China Families!!
Hui Chengli has found her family! This little girl was one of the 10 that the CCAA placed in our care in the beginning of April, and immediately we started to share her pictures and information with families on our waiting list.
She is a darling little girl and Tiffany and I (as we always do) thought, " of course she will find her family right away." But families looked over her medicals and considered her, and over and over they would tell me that this just wasn’t their daughter. In some cases that would be all that they could tell me…and, as in every case, I worried that the child will find a home.
Yesterday the family who had been considering Hui Chengli called me to tell me that she was theirs!!! I was so joyfully overwhelmed – the Lord has these things all figured out. Other families said no simply because she did not belong to them.
I don’t know when I will be able to hand to Him the protection that I want to hold over each of these children and believe that His love for them is greater than mine. His plan is greater - he would not have this girl with anyone but the family that He constructed for her.
There are days when I get to work and sit down at the computer, answer the phone, and process the paperwork, and even something as remarkable as adoption starts to feel “everyday.” But there are moments (and I was given one yesterday with this family's call) when I get to see a glimpse of the beautiful goodness of adoption and that the Lord is at work in all of these things.
As a word of encouragement, don’t every be worried about your placement on the waiting list; don’t fear that with this wait you will miss your child – The Lord has this all perfected orchestrated and you will be exactly where you need to be to meet your child at the most perfect time.
Thank you for walking with me in this journey.
Blessings to you all!!

The Lord always has a plan! Just like with our Sarah..... We were on the path to a China adoption, the worker convinced us to dual track (still go forward with China but get in the pool for domestic) We did, expected to wait for 9 more months or more, within the month..... got a call about a baby that was born on a Thursday evening, (we hadn't even finished all the portfolio stuff) the family picked us at 7pm Friday night and in our arms 1:30am Saturday morning! God knew all along and used the worker to steer us towards our blessed daughter! She even looks just like me!
This is an exciting time... cherish it. You guys are doing a great job of keeping a history of this that Leah will enjoy all the years to come.
Blessed be the Lord!
