Ok, well we've submitted a sibling group to our caseworkers (on Friday) and she is, of course, out of town this week. :) I called the adoption specialist yesterday to find out more about what will happen next. It was not the most encouraging thing but I have to remember that it's not about us getting children but the children finding the right home for them. :)
Our adoption specialist was emailed the boys' profile and her next step is to contact their caseworker to find out more about them and if we'd be a good match for them. If that turns out okay they proceed to submitting our homestudy. Then it can go to committee or the caseworker & her superior will decide (depending on the state) who is the best family for the children. The caseworker would also decide if a few meetings need to occur before we bring them home. This could involve a trip or two by the family or one week long trip out there.
We'll see. We may not be a match. We could be a match but not be the family chosen. But we do now have specific children to pray for. :) So... you could pray that they are in a loving & Christian home, that school/preschool is a positive environment for them, that they find positive ways to express their feelings about all that is going on/has happened to them. That my nerves don't get the best of me. :) That we're accepting of God's will.
