We sent an introduction letter to the organization in charge of Aida's future. We explained why we felt led to adopt her, and spoke about each of our kids. Lydia, 1 year older than Aida, adopted at an older age as well, and sensitive to others. Gwen, 1 year younger than Aida, fun-loving, always eager for a bigger family. Samuel, a teasing 7 year old, also with a serious un-fixable heart condition, with lots of support from a local cardio team. Pierre, cheerful and happy, loved where he is right now, challenged to reach for more, always accepting. Phoebe, serious and thoughtful, excited about the possibility of a new sibling. Our little "rainbow family" - Asian, black, Caucasian, black hair, brown or blonde, round or almond eyes....none of us look alike, but we are all loved, and we are all a family.
The response to us was that, yes, we would be a good family for Aida, but they had not yet decided to place her for adoption. They were still hoping her heart surgery could be done somewhere else, and then she could return to life in Africa.
So, now we wait, unsure what to do next. All paperwork is complete for the dossier.
