The Waiting Continues Again

I've been receiving many requests for a blog update. Unfortunately, there's not much to update. It's been a month of ups and downs. We've been presented with some child studies and all of them have not been the "match" we've been waiting for. I wish could go into all of the details, but it's not best that we share such details in a public forum like this. Hopefully, we'll be able to share all of the details some day with each of you.

Right now, all we can ask for is prayers. There are some far off potentials in the distance. We're not sure what will come of them. It's completely out of our hands and in God's hands. All that we can do is pray that the Lord will turn the hearts of the case works, supervisors, and judges that have "say-so" as to what families get what children.

We're learning how broken this system is, and our heart aches as we don't feel that there is a true advocate for us in this whole process. Ultimately, we have an almighty advocate who intercedes for us, and we know He is holding up this process for some reason.

We long for the day when we can look back at this time in our lives, smile, and say, "God meant it all for good."
