Okay so I called our case worker and asked her how we inquire about these two precious boys, Manny & Miguel. What I got was not very encouraging, but honest. For us to find out more info, we must fill out a form (big shock!) and send it in. It is currently being mailed to me so there's more waiting on snail mail. Our case worker let me know that rarely do they ever hear back about inquiries such as this. She said the usual response is that they are selected or matches to another family. So in true Kimberly form...I registered our family profile on Adoptuskids.org complete with a picture. Then we emailed the case worker for them. I then found out a little more about Miguel and Manny. Only by registering our profile am I able to view any info on the kids. So here's what I know, which isn't much.
It looks like both boys are in the Greensboro area of NC. Not bad, only 3 hours from here depending on exactly where they are. The last update of their profile (5/14/09) asked that they be able to visit family in the area once per month and the adoptive parents are to agree. Jorge and I have discussed it and it seems a reasonable request. We have also leared that Miguel, the oldest was born December 2004 while Manny was born March 2006. That's really all we know at this point. I'm hoping we get a call from the case worker this week asking for more info or requesting a copy of our home study. More waiting is on the menu!
I guess this is where I wonder if I'm pushing our agenda or what God has in store for us. Jorge says these two have remainded on my mind for a reason. I keep coming across their profile for a reason. Jorge swears they look Puerto Rican! He's usually right about these things. I don't care if they are martian's from another planet. My heart is reaching out to them and I pray it is God's will. As always, keep us in your prayers.

Prayer Request
We have been patiently waiting for a match for a child to be placed with our family. Going about our daily routine as usual and prayerfully asking God to bless us with a child. While we are faithful God will bless our family with a new addition or two, there is that fine line of wondering what am I controlling and what God is doing. I often search online for kids available in the US waiting for adoption. There are two boys who have popped up several times. I have attached a link for you to see them. Both are boys ages 3 & 4, brothers waiting for adoption. Manny & Miguel are Hispanic/American's who want to be adopted together and are waiting in NC with a foster family. Their profile has most recently been updated 5/14/09. We are carefully praying about God's will for us and these two boys. Please keep us in your prayers concerning our adoption. Thank you for your prayers!
