The adoption...

Some people have asked us how the adoption is going. Sadly its not going nor looking close to starting. We haven't given up hope, we never will. We will pack up another package for him to send halfway around the world with treats to make him happy for one day. Its not like we have given up the dream of him coming home, but its like when I miscarried a baby, its not the end of the dream, we try again. However their comes a point when life has to move forward and you have to stop and get the pictures done without him. You have to see where your going in life without the what ifs. Like getting pregnant if it happens wonderful and then life will change then, but for now to keep my heart from being troubled, I have to imagine he won't come home and what we do then. We have waited for years for him to come home and join us. We started hoping when we first heard about him in Sept. of 07. We have prayed, prepared, walked in faith and like I said I pray he will and this will all happen. However the country has not opened and they aren't in any hurry. So because of that an orphaned boy will grow up another year alone with no mom and dad to love them and a mom and dad who love him will not get to watch him grow up....for now....

    Oh Em...this breaks my heart....
    Yet..I can't help but to know..even though he is there and you are here..that at least he knows that SOMEONE does care for him. It may not be ideal to say the least, but he has what so many orphans lack..and that's HOPE.

    Emily...very well put! I just can't seem to get the words out, like you so eliquantly did. It is exactly what we have been feeling. We remain hopeful, and there is something inside of us that can't give up. Every time we want to, God shows us He has it, and we can't give up. But it is those family events and things we just wish they were part of. We have had to learn to live without them, but still find the hope that one day they will be part of it all.
