Pray!!!!

Please pray! The adoptions are put on hold and that means we are not sure when we will be going to Africa and getting the twins. No one is sure when the government will open things up. The lady that is in charge of the children's home we are adopting from is sure that this is just temporary. But there are families that were there before the hold to pick up their children but now they are having to leave due to not being able to get the children's visas and they have to take care of things back here in the states. They had to leave the children until this is all cleared up. This is very hard as you can imagine to have seen your children in Africa and hold them in your arms and then have to say good bye. We know a family that is coming back and there children that they are adopting are having to stay in the children's home. This is not just hard on the families that have hoped to come home with thier children but also hard on the kids that have to stay there. We all know that all things work out for the best when God's hand is in it!!!"Rest in the Lord and wait patiently on him"Psalms 37:7 "God help all of us that are waiting to have patience and for the people in the government in Africa that this all will pass with out hard ships breaking out with in the people there. God give the people wisdom that are having to deal with all this! And help all of us here and in Africa to know how to pray! God I strongly believe that your hand is in this and you will bring people closer to you during this time. Our God is a strong and mighty God who can do anything and I believe he does all thing for good! Praise and give thanks in time of trouble and God will show his face and shine!!!

I'll be praying! I am a new follower of yours and our family has also adopted in the past, over 8 years ago. We adopted 2 girls from Ukraine when they were 3 and 4. I know how long of a road it can be. God's blessings be with your family!

Hello. You don't know me but I found your blog. I also have an adopted brother in Liberia waiting. We are pretty much done with our adoption and then they closed the country. We are really praying for it to open back up soon! I also have a blog.

I'll be praying too. My parents are part owners of an orphanage in India. We are really trying hard to make international adoptions legal for Kiana Childrens Home
but the Indian government would rather the children die than be adopted into Christian homes!!!
Do you mind if I follow your blog?
