Number Nine

We found out yesterday that our dossier was approved and we are officially on the wait list! We are currently family number 9 on the list. That may not sound like a lot, but this program is so small that it may take a while for that many babies to be born. We were told yesterday to expect a 9 to 18 month wait for a referral, which is a lot longer than we had expected. Morning Light Home sent out 165 letters this week to village leaders to try and get the word out about their programs to help pregnant women in need. In a country where there are more abortions each year than there are live births and up to 50% of all Taiwanese women have had an abortion this program truly is shining a light in the darkness. Please pray that these letters will reach the leaders and young women that need to hear this message so that many more lives can be saved. Also, that this new year will be filled with many referrals for the families that would love to welcome these babies into their families!
