update

To date, we have inquired about 12 kids ranging in age 1–5.

• Two have been adopted already.
• Two are not allowed to leave their state.

That leaves eight possibilities.

Our social worker has advised us to find as many children to inquire about as possible, but I don't want to inquire just to inquire. I have to feel something when I see the child's face or read their profile, a connection, something.

Our child is out there, I'm convinced. It will take as long as it takes, and I will continue to have frustrating days.
