The Wait Is On!

I think going through years of infertility prepared AJ and I for the waiting process of adoption. There is ALWAYS some sort of waiting involved in every step of the adoption process: waiting to confirm with the Lord this His plan, waiting for your application to the agency to be approved, waiting to have the paperwork sent to us, waiting to get approval on paperwork, waiting for others to fill out paperwork and so on...it's one big test of patience and FAITH!

Now AJ and I are in the most important waiting stage of adoption and the waiting only gets more exciting and challenging as we are so much closer to seeing our children for the first time!  Our dossier arrived in Beijing May 6th..you better believe I checked the FedEx tracking website like 5 bazillion times before it said it was officially delivered on that Monday.  From that point on it has now been a waiting process and a major prayer endeavor to pray it through the right hands to get our Log In Date.  It's a HUGE deal to have our Log In Date because that means we are ready to accept referrals of children!!!  WOW!!!  This time last year we were just praying about adoption!  We are believing and praying that this process to our LID and accepting referrals for children will go quickly.  God has been so faithful to us and has pushed paperwork through much faster than expected before and we truly believe He will do it again for us!

Please keep our dossier and LID in prayer: that the LORD will makes path smooth and straight for it and it will reach the right hands.  We also want people who come in contact with our paperwork to have an encounter with the LORD and to come to know Him!  We are believing that we will have our LID tomorrow in Jesus name!  WE trust the Lord and all He has done for us during this process!  We thank all of you who lift us up daily and keep us in your prayers.  We feel God's Love all the time and know His hand reigns in all we do!


God is Good and we are BLESSED!



 The Lord has done this,
    and it is marvelous in our eyes. 
 The Lord has done it this very day;
    let us rejoice today and be glad.
Pslam 118:23-24
