Through our reading about adoption one thing has stood out for us, and that is to make the children you adopt part of your family. One way to do that is to give them names from your family. We talked about it, and came up with names for our son and daughter in Haiti. They are family names. Of people who were loved and respected in our family. Stella and Jack.
Please be praying for Stella and Jack over the next few years as we wait for approval of all paperwork, and for them to be matched with us. Pray that God will put hope in their hearts of a family coming for them. That they will lean on Him, and they would be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Pray that they would come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Things have changed at our agency as the Social Worker we were working with had to leave. The new Social Worker is wonderful, but also different. She works in reality while our previous Social Worker worked in faith. It's not bad. Just different.
With that said we were told to take our time getting our paperwork done because we don't qualify for at least a year and a half more. We have a lot to do and it is going to take some time to get done.
Please be praying for our family as we are waiting on God to move. We are continuing in His will for our family, and trust that our children will come home in His timing. But as many of you know waiting is often not easy especially when it comes to your children.
Thanks for your prayers!
