ups and downs of adoption
We had a blast with our friends and Bono is just the definition of cool - more on that later once I get pics.
Upside of adoption- watching our dear friends Pam and Steve as they were introduced to their new, beautiful 5 year old daughter. Yes, they got their referral at our house!! What joy.
Downside- WAITING. Found out today that our case that we thought was left open during the closure has been closed. We now have to WAIT for a new court date. Yes, we wait some more. So heartbroken for my sweet boy. So ready to have him home, but we now wait.
Please pray for a new court date to be given quickly.

Oh, so sorry! I sooooooo hear you about the ups and downs. I am just glad we can trust that none of these things is a surprise to our God and He brings us our little ones in His BEST timing.
Take care!
Oh I am so sorry! What a challenge this waiting game is. I hope you hear something very soon!
We are sooo very sorry. Praying.
i am so sad that you have to wait more. i will pray they assign a new court date very soon. i want you to have that sweet boy home with you...for his sake as well as yours!
p.s. totally jealous of the u2 concert! how incredible!!!
So sorry to hear about your waiting growing...praying for a new court date soon! Yes, the ups and downs of adoption...thankful you are surrounded by the love of friends who understand and a Father who is sovereign over all.

I'm so sorry. I am traveling later, now, too. . .maybe we will be there together after all. I'm so sad for you, though.
Soooooooo sorry Emily. Surely a test of patience, but I know that y'all know God's timing is always perfect. Until then, ugh....hang in there, I'll be prayin'......Let's chat again soon. :)
so sorry about your wait again. We are praying for you now, praying for peace and comfort until you hear GREAT news. I think it is special that my friend Alison Cook is the one who sent me your Gotcha Day video with Abe- I can't hear that song without thinking of y'all, and now I get to follow your journey with your new little man! Can't wait to see pics of U2!
arghhh! praying for supernatural peace in the waiting. so sorry to hear this news for you and your little guy. good thing he is in such good Hands.
I am heartbroken for you guys! I know that we don't know each other, but as we go through this adoption journey and all its ups and downs, I feel like I do know you. I have really been praying for your case to be heard and that you would pass. Sorry to hear it didn't happen. I'll keep praying...for both our boys!
You know how sad we are for you - but we are with you trusting in WHO God is. He is a GOOD GOD!! and He is a Sovereign God. As much as you know His timing is the best timing - the wait is such a time of refining fire. Praying for y'all and please know we are here for you!!
Love you friends!!!
Oh Em. So hard. Praying for strength, patience, and peace for all of you- here and in ET.
So sorry! :( We are also waiting for our court date (for our little 3 year old who we met in May 08) and are just SOOOO EAGER! Hoping that both of our dates come quickly!
I am so sorry that your wait has been extended. I have been thinking of you all and I am sending lots of love your way. I really hope you get a court date soon and that everything goes smoothly. I will continue to think of you and wish for you.
I am sooo sorry Emily. Trusting that "strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord".
Praying from Hong Kong,
Kim
