Well, I feel like I have been on the phone for three days straight, but I am willing to do what it takes to exhaust all my avenues for this little girl.
In the waiting are several items…
I am awaiting two phone calls, one from Blue Cross Blue Shield, and another from Farm Bureau. These people are apparently “high ups” that are supposed to be calling and can possibly help… got these people contacted through an awesome lawyer in Nashville. But they were supposed to call yesterday and as of noon today… still no word.
Next, I heard from a dear friend that has adopted two herself and they also ran into insurance issues with one of her children, but they fought it and won. The main problem for my family is that we are on an individual policy vs. a group policy…. or none of this would even be an issue. However, this friend of mine’s family is also on an individual policy… so there’s some hope there!
Then, another friend connected me with a heart doctor in Knoxville that does a lot of missions and is familiar with international adoption. This Doctor gave us some hope that he could potentially get this child surgery in INdia for no costs, and that would make her completely healthy before she got here. But he said there are several factors that play into all of this, and he said to pray.
So please pray everyone that we can get this all resolved. My prayer is that if we are not to have this child that God would slam the doors. But, I am not going to quit until I know every door has been shut.
Plus, regardless of the situation…. whether this precious little one can become ours or can go to another family…. how awesome would it be that God could use us to help get this little girl healthy!
For the sake of our emotions, we have asked not to see her full file as of yet… but all I can say is she will be 3 next month, and the doctor in INdia says one surgery would make her completely healthy. So we have no idea what she looks like, nor do we have any other back ground info.
But all I need to know is she is a Child of God and deserves a healthy life and a loving family!!!
