The Beginning of this Journey...

The Lord began this journey towards our second adoption about 1 year ago. He put on our hearts to sponsor Kay - at Harmony Outreach and we did. When i first saw her, i fell in love with her and prayed for her to join our family. It wasn't until May 2008 that the Lord began to use her to open our hearts to adoption again. That was when we had John Bentley from Harmony Outreach (her foster program) staying with us and he told us that Kay was ready to be adopted internationally. We prayed about her and began the adoption process again. Unfortunately, it wasn't in God's plan for her to join our family but He did use her to open our hearts up to adoption again and we are excited to see where He takes us. We are Trusting in Him.

The Lord has brought Maylynn into our lives and hearts on Nov. 21st (that is when we received her referral). We are excited to see Him bring her home to us. Please pray for the rest of our journey. We can't wait to bring Maylynn home...

A little bit of hope...

First thing this morning i called the NBC actually got to speak with our new officer that will be reviewing our paperwork. I'm glad that i called b/c it seems that they had to look for our file to see who was assigned to it - our previous officer quit. Anyway, she said that she received it late last night and will be reviewing it - not sure when or how long it will take... That's all for now - i'll update more when i know more:)

It's not much, but it IS a step. This whole journey is a series of babysteps from beginning to end. Keep in mind that Jesus will carry you when the struggle is too much. :o) I'm glad you called them! {{hugs}}

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. Isaiah 43:2

"You will keep him in perfect peace,Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3

Two verses I go to over and over when I need the peace of God. We will be praying!

Thank You for your honest feelings and that it's not always a picnic, but that there are low times in this process. I am happy for you to at least go into the upcoming weekend having talked to the person who is dealing with your case.
