The Path is Wide and Clear

The volunteer director decided the best option was to present our two cases to the orphanage and let them decide which option they preferred for Shao Jun.  In the meantime, I followed the steps I felt were needed to make our logistics easier should we be chosen.  I sought approval from our housing department: The answer was of course, and how noble.  I sought childcare options through my Chinese friends: The lady we met who agreed to work for us should we need it said "I will love her like my own granddaughter."  And finally, only a few days ago, after their own prayers for clarity, the other family decided not to move forward with requesting Shao Jun for adoption.  Our path is clear and wide.
