We wanted to update all of our praying friends on our adoption process. God is good all the time, and all the time, God is good. The AWESOME news is that we finished our Dossier! We received a call from our caseworker that the Dossier has been sent off to be translated! Praise God. The paper work was really overwhelming at times and then we had to redo some documents several times over. Then all the documents had to be County certified and then State certified. So to have this Dossier finished takes a big load off our backs. We are all very excited to bring home a new family member or two but we knew the waiting process would be hard. We found out that it would be a year or more before we would receive a referral for a child. We had hoped it would be only 6 months. But we gave this whole adoption thing to God from the start. We have always prayed that our Father would send us the child He has chosen for us from the foundation of the world. We rest in the confidence that God has called us to this and He will fulfill His will in all of this no matter what the outcome.God can make this happen in 3 months if He wills.
This doesn’t make the waiting any easier and I know at times, it will be hard to be patient since we are all SO very excited to bring a new child or children into our home. So I ask that you pray diligently for the Mabry family.
The other news we received is that Haiti has once again changed things regarding adoption. We had been told that our child/children would come from Rivers of Hope Orphanage in Haiti. The powers that be (in the adoption world) have changed it to where the child could come from ANY orphanage in Haiti. Once again, the precious Holy Spirit reminds me that He cannot be restricted to just one orphanage in Haiti and so we rest in confidence that God will choose the child that we are to raise as our own. There is so much peace that comes when you stop worrying and rest in The Lord.
Pray friends. Pray for Patience, Peace and for the Perfect child or children for our little family.
