Happy New Year, everyone! It’s been a couple of months since the last update, so we thought we’d take a moment and bring everyone up to speed.
So what do you want first? The good news or the bad news? Well really, there’s no bad news per se, but we were told just before the holidays that adoption referrals tend to slow down a bit around the holidays, so it has been a bit of a waiting game as of late. We expect them to begin increasing more and more in the next couple of months, so we’re biding our time learning patience and getting on with life.
Some great news is that people’s generosity continues to astound us! Our fundraiser is now over $25,000! We’re so humbled by this outpouring of kindness; more than words can possibly express.
Other than that, we don’t have much more to tell you at the moment, but we are here if you have questions or thoughts.
In the meantime, would you pray for more referrals to come through (both for us and for other waiting families), and also for other adoption opportunities that may lie in different directions that we aren’t aware of? And as always, if you become aware of a potential situation that you think might be a good fit for us, please let us know!
We hope you’re all healthy and doing well! We miss seeing you all in person.
With love,
Peter and Bethany
Thanks you for the update. Great photos! I look forward to the appearing of a third person in the family portrait.
Mark, I just saw this post. I’m not sure how I missed it before but I just got the biggest grin on my face. That’s so sweet!
