No news still...

It's been a while since an update but there is still no new news! We are still waiting to exit MOI for passport and visa. MOI is currently closed for the month while they relocate to new offices. I know, one more thing that we have encountered. Our adoption road has encountered numerous obstacles that are rare and sometimes overwhelming. How many times would you encounter a presidential election, new director and staff that double check everything, and now a relocation!! But our God continues to be faithful and our  rock! Last week, I prayed for good news! Something...well, Sunday morning I got a gorgeous picture of our little man and boom...good news! He looked wonderful. It's the best he has looked in about a year. He was smiling and full of joy! It made our hearts overflow! Thank you Lord for that good news.

So, we wait! Still! We wait with expectant anticipation of our email telling us the next steps. We wait with expectant anticipation as we watch God's complete plan unfolding for our adoption story! We can see now how every step has been in His timing and we rest in that.

Thank you for praying with us!

Here's the picture of good news we received! He is so worth the wait!

No News :(

Well, it's the end of January and no news! We are still waiting for exit from MOI to enter passport/visa stage. We are SO CLOSE but it seems so far! We are weeks away from Jack being home but no idea how many weeks! It could be 4 or more. The closer it gets, the harder the wait seems to get. We know God has this all worked out but it hurts our heart each day Jack is not home. Emma was planning on him being at her birthday but that is not going to happen. Fortunately, she has become use to him not being here so when he does finally come home, we will just have to have another PARTY!!!!

Just wanted to offer a quick update. Paperwork is moving and kids are coming home. We just haven't been in those stacks of paper. Our turn is coming. We anxiously await the next phone call/email to let us know the next step. Keep praying for God to move that paperwork! Thank you for your prayers.
