#WorldAdoptionDay and Noonday Collection


World adoption day is November 9th.  In order to raise awareness Noonday Collection and AdoptTogether have partnered to help raise awareness and support for adoptions.  Noonday will be making an additional donation to a participants' AdoptTogether fund.

There are four ways you can continue to support us.
1) Please continue to pray for us and any children God has planned to bring into our family.
2) Join us at our Trunk Show. We are hosting a Noonday Trunk show on Sunday November 8 at 2 pm.  We would be happy to have you join us, just let us know so we can plan accordingly.
3) If you can't join us on the 8th you can still order online.  Visit courtneyalexander.noondaycollection.com make sure to select JB and Jenn Reynolds' Trunk show at checkout.
4) You can donate directly to our AdoptTogether fund https://www.adopttogether.org/challengedgracefully

How long is the wait? Part 10

   
Well here we are again. This post is a little later than intended.  It should have gone up in the middle of September.  At least that is when we hit our 2 1/2 time in this journey. So onto the question how long is the wait? We still don't know. We did have contact from our placement agency around the middle of September as well. It is always good to hear from them even if there isn't really any news.  This time it was simply "you are about half way through the wait."  Yeah, I think. That means that we have about another year and a half of waiting before we receive our placement, if all goes as planned.  We well know that not everything goes as planned.  

The goatee didn't have any noticeable increase in length this time.  It is still about 19-20 cm.  There are a few stands that are a little longer.  So that is were we are.  

The rest of live continues to go well.  J and G do ask when "the girls" are coming home.  They continue to progress through school.
