Soooo... I am guessing that my selfishness has been brought to light this last week. We got an update that stated: "Your paperwork is ready to be resubmitted, however we are waiting to submit everyone's together"............ long pause, deep breath, and cry selfish "why oh why do we have to go all together" tears. Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE each of the families that we have been on this extended journey with, each of them have a special place in my heart... I know that we will forever be friends and have a bond that no one, unless you have been in our shoes, could duplicate. I LOVE each of their children, having wept long hours over each of the names and we prayed for them. I am selfish, and I am working on it and praying for forgiveness as God continues to bring to light what He wants changed in me.
We are now only getting updates on Fridays, which makes for a long week, but I am praying this week will bring tears of joy...
We are at the end of re-doing our dossier, since we have been told that it expired yesterday. So my prayer warrior friends, would you pray with us that we can get our paperwork completed and sent to Ethiopia as quick as possible and that if for some reason Federal MOWA looks at our file prior to us getting the new paperwork to them, that they would pass us even without the updated documents.... since nothing has changed, I am still the same person that I said I was on my birth certificate 2 years ago, which has not changed in 30 years. =/

Brandi, this is not selfish at all. I saw your update and was wondering why on earth they would make you wait....it doesn't make sense at all. Praying for you all as you wait extra long for your children to come home.
ReplyDeleteThis is not being selfish, this is fighting for your kids. I'm praying for you!
ReplyDeleteBrandi, I am so sorry that your case has dragged on like this. I am out of the loop about all the changes to the process, but if I read your previous posts correctly, you are still waiting on an adoption decree?!? Wow. We had our own hellish road to walk in our adoption process, so I know how awful it can be with your heart tied to a child on the other side of the world. Prayers for you!
