By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us
reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged
for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown

He found another Family

I saw myself falling in love, he was a beautiful little boy. But God had other plans for him. Before I could get information on him, a family in Taiwan chose him for their own. So while I am sad for myself, I am happy that he will have his 'right' forever family.

On a bright note, this has shown me that there IS a child out there for us. And there are many, many options open that I never knew existed.

So now we wait again. But this time, the waiting is a little easier. There is Hope!

Oh Yeah......I forgot.

We recieved our updated I-171H. We are good for another 18 months. Hopefully, we will be done and home by then.

Please pray for all those who wait ~

I remember in 2005, when we were waiting for our Natalie, we had been told that we might receive our referral in October and be home for Christmas of that year. Well, October came and went, then so did November. As Christmas drew nearer, with no referral in sight, I was devestated that we still did not have our daughter. How could we celebrate the most Holy time. But GOD saw our struggle and got us through this sad time. We did enjoy the holidays, celebrating our LAST Christmas as a 'couple'. And then 25 days into the new year, we were blessed with a photo of our new daughter. GOD is GREAT!

Now we wait for our next child. We do not know where or when we will see him, but I trust in GOD to give us the courage and strength to wait until we see that new liny face. All in HIS time.............
