Tonight hundreds of children in China will finally find families, not just in the United States, but across the world. Once a month, China releases the files of children newly eligible for international adoption. Social workers from Finland to the United States, and Holland to Canada, will be waiting at their computers. Once the files are available, social workers review basic info (child's age, sex, special need(s), etc.) and work to match children with families who meet the child's needs and "lock" the file. It sounds like a strange way to make families, but that's what's happening. Tonight will make orphans sons and daughters, and for many couples, tonight will finally make them parents.
Tonight will not be the night we get "the call" since our dossier hasn't been yet sent to China, so I'm a little down we have potentially many more months to wait. Even so, it's still a special night because I know a lot of prayers will be answered.
