Since many of you kindly ask, I thought I would give all our friends and family a quick update regarding our adoption...
No, we have not received the much-anticipated referral yet but we are one family closer to getting our forever daughter and seeing her face for the first time as our agency [Children of All Nations] just matched another family with 2 brothers and thus we move up one more spot. We began the adoption process in April 2012, completed paperwork by August and thus, we are now in the adoption "holding pattern" of waiting. I'm not complaining...we are extremely blessed! Many of you have been praying & blessing us with your love & support and we are overwhelmed by God's provisions and your open generosity. Lifesong for Orphans provided us with a matching grant and helped us prudently secure support for the anticipated travel costs for 3 of us to Uganda and 4 of us coming back.
In terms of an adoption time-line, we are still in the beginning phase with this pilot program but knowing the need is great in Uganda (more than 1/2 of their population is 14 years old and under) and we are 1 of only a handful of families in our agency's Uganda program, means we eagerly anticipate a referral in the coming months...we are highly optimistic but cautiously real. We pray for patience as God orchestrates the details of us growing our family & giving Haven her much desired playmate.
Continue to pray & I'll continue to update...we thank you in advance as our journey continues!
