Adoption Update...Please pray with Us

Here's the latest on our adoption journey.... beginning in February 2009....
Our original plan that we feel the Lord placed in our hearts.... adopt 2 more children from Ethiopia ages 0-5............... this changed after having a 'bump' in the road of being presented to adopt 2 boys ages 5 and 7 from ET.............. however this fell through and those little boys were placed with a family in line right before us................... God's timing........ so back to the original plan....... as our heart plan changed.........adopt 1 child age 0-3 from ET.......and then another 'bump' in the road.....or I guess we could say a change in our journey.........and again this may just be God's way of delaying us in our process to place JUST THE RIGHT CHILD in our home......so here is where we are........

Domestic adoption...closed........ a newborn---not even born---due June 6th (that's Saturday!!)...We were first approached by our case worker a couple months back, asking if we would be interested in a domestic adoption and we both said no.......but we prayed about it, and took a huge step of faith to say yes.........If this is God's plan for our family, then we'll take this little girl to be born soon............. so wait---- wait---- wait----and now after waiting.........we hear NOTHING........ we don't know if the birth parents have changed their minds?.... if they are just waiting for her birth?....... we don't know ANYTHING more that what is here...........

So we are asking you to pray with us that we'll hear something........SOMETHING....... GOD's will be done with this precious baby.......either with her birth parents... us... another family???? If this baby isn't placed in our family........then back down the road.........on with the journey to Ethiopia!!..... as the Lord is working with ME!! who likes a 'plan'... and isn't very patient!! teaching each member of our family to TRUST IN HIM!!
