So glad you are walking hand...Beautiful post girl! So glad you are walking hand and hand with God thru this. We were just talking last night at our adoption support group how all control is lost in adoption and I am always reminded what a gift that really is because rarely do you in your mind and "usual" life realize how NOT in control we really are....and adoption really gives you a first hand look at God's authority in and sovreignty over our lives and His extreme love for us....very humbling.<br /><br />We are so trying to teach Nick the obedience out of respect and trust in us....since he as an older adoptee has a few trust issues as it is, we find this an up-hill battle some days but so glad to hear that you are challenged to do the same thing with your children. :)kitzkazventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892605201125564126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2196811098318273358.post-68751458035880309962010-02-05T11:33:29.247-05:002010-02-05T11:33:29.247-05:00So sorry to hear your news.

We will keep the prayers going! I know I heard one family that didn't pass because the birth mother said the baby's name was incorrect on the paperwork and they had to investigate that - I wonder if it was something along those lines?? Whatever the reason, we will be praying it is all sorted out by the 17th.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />Sarahtitushomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428786514056814440noreply@blogger.com
