Another update!

"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised." Hebrews 10:36


I emailed a friend earlier today that had emailed to check on how we were holding up. I realized tonight that many out there have asked and gotten the generic answer, and many have told me that they are afraid to ask how we are doing. I just decided to share part of the email that I wrote to her to give you an idea as to where we are:

Daily, it is a struggle to try and understand how people can hold this process up
for such inscrutable reasons. It is heart wrenching to know that they care nothing of the children waiting
for their families.

We try and be strong, but in the end, we are just resigned to waiting until the day that we get a
glimpse of the what life will be as a family of 5 instead of 4. I just pray that it is soon!! In the
meantime, I am trying to appreciate and enjoy the beautiful children that we have, but at times it is so
hard to not completely focus on the little one that should be home playing with his siblings. We are
still waiting to hear whether we have been resubmitted in to the Mixco Civil registry.
2 weeks will mark 6 months since our approval out of PGN:0( (we should have traveled about 3 weeks from that point)

On a more positive note, Gareth's parents fly in tomorrow. We have a lot of fun things planned and the kids are ecstatic. I will post more later on in the week as to how the visit is going. In the meantime, please continue to lift our adoption up in prayer!!!
