How do you choose?

The process for Ethiopia is so differnt from China. With China, they select the child for you. (Of course, we know God really does this). But, with Ethiopia, we were presented with a photo gallery of children, beautiful children, all in need of a home. To make things more difficult, the children come with a history. You get to read some of their story. You find your heart going out to all of them. We looked a lot at the children. We had considered many of them. Sue, with the agency, was trying to convince us into two boys ages 7 and 5. That's the same age as Brooke and Katie. We would have virtual twins! We did pray about them. But, we really wanted younger and did not feel God was telling us that these were our children. We did not want to change the age order. We felt Katie was ok with this. She likes being the baby. Brooke likes being the oldest. It would be difficult for her if she wasn't.
