So many....

Tonight my heart is full of emotions...... because our adoption agency has two orphanages in Haiti, we have been well informed of the situation as it was unfolding. Both with the country of Haiti and with the process for the families who have been waiting month to adopt from Haiti. Tonight, as we learn the staggering number of children that will be left without families I just can hardly hold back the tears. I know God has called our family to bring Grace home from Ethiopia, there is not a doubt in my mind. So why do I feel my heart being called to bring another child home?

Our wait for Grace is looking like another year or more, these children need help now.... I just feel so overwhelmed.... so please as you think of us this week, please pray for clarity in our hearts.

Quick update on Grace... we are waiting for the Department of Homeland Security to approve our application still... seems like its taking forever!! But we did hear something that was exciting... friends of ours have family in Ethiopia near the orphanage where Grace will be from, and they are going and holding and loving on their friends babies while they are waiting to come to America... the thought that maybe someone we know and trust will be able to hold Grace and love on her brought mixed emotions from me... and I know when its time I will be grateful. At this moment though, I feel almost jealous of that time spent with my baby girl.... sounds weird I know, and I am praying for God to take away that feeling... thanks for praying my friends, its a process.
