I thought the day would never come but "Praise the Lord"... Today all of our paperwork is complete and our agency is mailing it to China! When you begin the process of adoption, there are a lot of meetings, phone calls, decisions to be made, papers to complete, money to raise, and plenty of waiting on government officials to process and return paperwork. It's a hurry up to finish paperwork and then wait game.
Now that most of that is behind us, we just wait. (Ok, so we still have to raise money!) We wait for God to match us with the little girl He has planned for our family. Amazing! Now just because the paperwork is done, this does not mean this season is any easier. No, we wait with nothing to keep our hands or minds busy and so often we want to be able to do something for our little one and there seems like there is nothing tangible we can do. Now, we trust in our Father, call out to Him for our daughter's protection and provision, and pray that our referral will be made quickly. (The song on this blog is truly one I love for this season of my life!) At this point, the estimated wait time for a referral is 6-12 months. We so appreciate your prayers and encouragement!
We also want to praise God for His faithfulness in providing for our adoption financially. Each step so far God has blessed us and proven that He will provide as we obey. We continue to trust Him as we believe "that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus".
