crickets

silence...
no news on when we might be traveling.

we are trying to be patient and thankful, but it is difficult.

the typical wait time is 4-6 weeks after a successful court date, but unless we get a call saying be here Tuesday - our wait will be 8 weeks... if we go then.

we thought we had a good chance to go for July 7th... nope.
we thought we for sure would go for the 21st of July... not looking like it.

now we are hoping to go for the august 4th date - again - no guarantees.

adoption (as we were told) is filled with bumps and joys - the only thing to plan on is to throw your plan out the window. (isn't that life though?)

we've prayed that we would go when it is best for the little miss...so she may need a little more time and when I have that perspective it is easier because it is about her and not me.

or our paperwork fell behind the file cabinet. :) just kidding.

anyways - today is a great day to thank God for the opportunity to adopt, to have a referral, to have passed a court date, and to have the chance to travel (hopefully soon) - just need to get a new set of expectations.

we have friends who are waiting longer, some without referrals or court dates, others going through difficult things, losing loved ones, and facing all kids of trials and pain - so - i am not gonna whine (i think i did a little already) and i'm gonna pray for them and then just say, "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done, in our family as it is in heaven. Amen."

thanks for following along - God bless
