Problem 1: There must be at least one year's difference between adoptive child and children at home.
Problem 2: They feel it is important to keep children in their birth order. (meaning this has to be the youngest child.)
CRAAAAAP!!! I found myself, yet again, with my heart sunken. Seriously? I emailed her and she told me that with special-needs adoptions they will sometime waive one of those two things. That's all great and everything, but both of those would have to be waived.
I started to think about it. This little girl is 2 years old currently (a little older than Tate and a little younger than Shanley). I could see if there was a way to magically change Tate's birthday to 2 years sooner, which I quickly concluded was not going to happen no matter how hard I tried. The only other hope I had was to see if there is ANY chance that there happens to be a year between this sweetheart and my others.
I thought about it. Shanley's birthday is in June of 2010. Tate's birthday is August of 2012. When I looked at those dates I could see that our Armenian daughter's birthday would have to be in July of 2011. Odds were not in our favor. I opened up my email with the information I had received about this little girl. I skimmed through the paperwork and came across her birthday. I could not believe my eyes- her birthday is July 11, 2011.
An yet again, another tender mercy. Someone is orchestrating this whole process, which appears to be meant to be.
