New Information

Ok how to start this...? First off I have to say we serve a Great God. He is so awesome to us. He has taken us on such an incredible journey and I trust in Him to do what is right for our family. We got news today from the missionary's we are working with that we lost our referral. I am not going into details and I am fine and very much at peace with all of this. I knew this could happen from the very beginning and kept a detachment in place just in case. I didn't think it would happen but it has and that sweet little face who is Zhow Xin Yu will be in my prayers. Please join me in praying someday she will join the forever family God has chosen for her and she rightly deserves. And pray God will lead Deana to where the child He has chosen for us is! We were hoping that by the end of this year we would be done and moving on with our lives but that now seems unlikely. It feels like we have been doing adoption forever! But again we are totally at peace that God is in control and will lead us where we need to be, so don't worry about us as we are doing fine with all of this. At least it feels good to know where you are at and we can take it from there.So we are once again waiting for our referral. Please pray we are matched soon and can finish the process quickly!

PS: As you will see I spent the morning taking all of the referral information off and all the pictures. As much at peace as I am about all of this it was a little hard. My heart is so sad for that sweet little face that she will still be without a family and I guess taking the pictures off made it seem real and finial. I guess maybe I am kidding myself a little about how much unattached I was. I am finding it hard to choke back the tears and say goodbye. But I do trust God to know what is best for us,so I will trust Him to get us where we need to be!

Starting the summer off right

We still have no news about Braeley and no clue where we are in the process. We are keeping very busy and waiting for some good news. Please keep us in your prayers.

Vacation May 2009

We still have had no new word about Braeley Hanna. Still waiting on updated pictures and information and pre-approval. We learned a good lesson with Alana this weekend when we were packing to go on vacation! Nie-nie, Alana and I, was packing her suitcase when all of a sudden I thought I heard her say something about an airplane. I ask my mother in law if she heard the same thing and she had heard it to so I ask Alana if she thought we were going on a airplane and she looked me straight in the eye and said yes we are going to go get my baby sister Braeley! So I had to do some major back paddling! But with all I did to explain that we were not going to get Braeley right now it came up several time on the trip! She would see a baby and tell me it was her baby Braeley and we had to hurry! So lesson learned from now on I am going to be a lot more clear when we pack a suitcase!! I had a great mothers day but I felt like I had a hole in my heart! It was tinged with a sadness as I feel we are not moving at all closer to getting Braeley home! Pray we move forward this month!
