How do you choose?

We are rapidly approaching that point - the point of choosing who our next child will be. It is so difficult. Our homestudy update should be done in less that 2 weeks and submitted to our agency for approval/changes and that is the point at which we can choose a child or siblings to be part of our family. . . Last time we turned in all our paperwork and waited for our agency to refer a child to us - Becca wasn't waiting for a family, we were waiting for her. This time we "know" that our next child is waiting for us - how do we know? you might wonder. Well we just know. God has spoken it to our hearts. In part because we now know that so many older kids are waiting for families and in part because of all we saw and experienced when we were in Ethiopia last fall. But that still leaves us having to choose from a list of kiddos that is several pages long. Which in and of itself is heartbreaking to know that so many dozens of kids are waiting for a mom and dad to find them. We can't choose them all - and honestly alot of them are older than would be a good fit for our family. I know that there are one or two that are meant for us - but how do we choose? We pray - pray with us if you will - pray for wisdom and open hearts to hear God whisper the name(s) in our hearts.
