The Dry Season...

We are in a dry season.  There is little to no rainfall.  The water is drying up.  The hope is dwindling.  We are trying.  Trying to hang in there.  It is hard, you guys.  Really hard.  We are trusting people we have NEVER met to help us bring our kiddos home.  As terrific as they may be, that doesn't ease the pain of the process.  The bills keep coming but with no news.  We just keep breathing - hoping THAT breath and prayer will get us through that moment.  We feel like we are drowning in the pool of adoption emptiness - it is filled with worry and sadness and even anger sometimes.  So. Will you say an extra prayer for us tonight?  Pray for a renewal.  We TRUST in God.  He is just SO incredible and has such a plan.  But people affect our process - so pray that the wrong ones get out of the way so that the right ones can move this process along.  Pray for our family.  This is VERY difficult for all of us.  It is hard for our family to watch us hurting and to trust with us.   Pray for healing and hope for us all.  Thanks guys.

    Praying for a renewal of your hope and a renewed vigor for the process. Praying that someday (soon) this dry season will be a memory of how God brought you through.

    Continued prayers for movement of the paper thru the process quickly.

    Oh, I am right there with you. Why does this have to be so very hard? I feel like every stage is a battle, and I'm battle weary too. I'm so thankful that you're continuing to fight, wait, and advocate for your children. We will all get through this, and someday, our Congolese kiddos will be hanging out at Chick Fil A together!

    Thinking of you guys. We did finally receive an update today, though we are mostly still at a standstill right now waiting on our decree. I was so happy to see pictures, but still sad to know that our son is not officially a part of family yet. I hope you guys get some good news soon!
