Our journey for adoption officially began in December 2007, although we felt that we were led to do this for quite some time. Before we got pregnant with our first, we felt God had called us to this. But we didn't do that and now have 2 beautiful daughters and are now in the process of being obedient to God's calling for our family. The girls Mackenzie (age 7 1/2) and Sydney (6) are very excited and can hardly wait for Baby Ava to come home as are Rich and I. The journey thus far has been a wild ride of ups and downs, and this week has been a bit of a downer. We have received news that indeed there will be no interim agreement met by the September 1st deadline and now we just wait.
I have received a few encouraging verses from friends that they are praying over us. The first is:
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.
Isaiah 55: 8 & 9
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Hi Rick and Jill. Thanks for your comment on our blog. And, I'm sorry that you are going through this long wait too. It is good to know that we are not alone. We will keep praying for a new agreement to be signed quickly so we can all bring our children home. Blessings, Kelly
