Thank you for your story. We just sent in our application to America World Adoption Agency. We are praying for 2 siblings ages 6 through 12, a boy and a girl.<BR/><BR/>Your story is wonderful and encouraging. We look forward to seeing the pictures and the soon to be union pictures! God is faithful and His timing is perfect! Our prayers are with you.<BR/><BR/>Scott, Theresa and kids

Oh! I'm so sorry! I know this sounds trite, but your are right that God's timing is perfect. If it had been up to me, we would have already been home with our kids for months...but God has something different in mind. I hope you are able to rest in that! (And for what it's worth take this time to do the stuff that you want to do before your son is home - I'm freaking out at all that I have to

My heart is definitely with you and the others families tonight - I am crying a bit as I make dinner tonight. Tears of sadness and tears of surrender and trust for you both and all of us in this process. I am praying for that amazing peace of Jesus to cover and fill in every crack. <BR/><BR/>I am so encouraged by your willingness to trust Him despite the delays. I love that your hearts are
