Big Change

As many of you know, we have had such a frustrating adoption journey with our present adoption agency. The final straw has broken the proverbial camels back! 

With much thought, prayers, and good reliable council we have decided to change agencies. We will be going with Bethany Christian Services. As soon as we made this decision we felt a huge weight lift off our shoulders. 

They understand and have seen the hardships we have experienced and are already coming alongside us to ease the way!! 

FAQs: 

1) During the transition we are still able to see the boys!

2) Since the boys are already with this agency they get to remain with their same therapists, doctors, and adoption worker instead of having to switch once placed in our home.

3) The move in date will probably be held up a bit from our original date. However, since the other agency has done nothing with our file we would have been changing the date regardless.  We are still praying for June 15th but understand that may not happen. 

4) We will have increased support, communication, and advocacy with the new agency! 

We continue to trust God is in control and want to glorify Him in all we do! We covet your prayers and positive thoughts!!  

Casting cares on a Him...

Well, we learned that since they didn't start it yet, the needed paperwork will not be started until after May 1st due to new process starting. This oversight has the potential to set us back another month...still praying towards our original date, June 15th!! 

Please pray with us!

We need prayers! We just learned, last evening, that the adoption agency had done nothing with our paperwork to get the kids in June! They started today and it can take several weeks to complete, we just want to cry! We are so disappointed in their poor handling of this whole situation! The most disappointing thing is the delay two little boys who need to be home where we can start being a family, and we can provide love and consistency for them. 

We have done all we can do and it seems we are helplessly at their mercy, it is frustrating. Then, I remember we are NOT powerless!! We have the power of Christ through prayer and belief that He can and will be faithful to complete that which He has begun! 

We have seen His faithfulness over and over throughout this process.   

Please pray with us toward June 15th, that the paperwork and approval will be completed.

We thank you, friends and family for your generosity in supporting us through this land of the unknown.
