It has been over a month since our last post. Why?? Well, NOTHING has changed. Nothing. Nadda. Zip!
Our hopefully-one-day-we-will-be-matched-daughter's country had a new government elected. The elections took a long time and then afterwards the people of the country have been protesting to have the new Prime Minister resign. Because of all of this government delay, the adoption committee does not have a delegate from the government appointed to sit in on their referral meetings. This has caused a GREAT delay in referrals. It stinks!
It has been rumoured though that there is a meeting for special needs referrals on the 23rd!!!
I bet you know where we are going with this!!! PLEASE pray for our "daughter's" referral to be placed in our agency's hands! Please pray for their government too. We hope that good things will come out of everything that is being protested. We also are REALLY anxious to have a referral!!!
This waiting is HARD! We knew it would be but it is still tough to continue life never knowing when we will get "the call". It doesn't help that two of my friends here are both pregnant! Paper pregnancy has nothing to show for it. That is until you have a referral. Right now, it's just a thought, a wish, a hope, a dream.
We are also very sad to hear that hubby's company may not be getting bonuses in a few months. We had counted on that to help with the fees. It was a huge disappointment to hear that news. We are still PRAYING as nothing "official" has been addressed to the employees :(
If you can, we would love for you to pray for us and with us. For the adoption. For the government. For the last $10000 (minimum) we still need to raise/come up with.
Thank you.
