We've been experiencing setback after setback in our adoption process, and are very sad that our dossier is still not in China. It should have been there more than a week ago. (Well, when I count all the needless delays we've had, it should have been there like two months ago.) But it isn't, and I'm sad and frustrated, especially when I see things going so quickly for others on this path. But I know that frustration isn't from God. I want and need my heart to be where His heart is about this. I need to rest in His sovereignty, and remember that He loves our little Caylie JiuChang more than we ever will, and that she will be in our arms on the day that He has orchestrated; not a day earlier or a day later.
Please pray with us that God would break through the walls of bureaucracy, red tape, workers' mistakes (and more mistakes), and that His angels would watch over every piece of our documentation until it is safely in the hands of the people in China! Please pray that there would be no further unnecessary delays. And please pray that our hearts and eyes would remain solely on Him.
We are so thankful that our Father has us on this journey. He has spoken and blessed in so many ways. He will see it to the end, and that will be a new beginning!
Oh Joy, I so know well the pain in what seems to be needless waiting. We waited SOOOO long for our LOA. There were days I would just cry out in frustration, so desperate to get my girl HOME. It is now that you need to hold on to what you know is true. God has ordained the perfect time for you to bring your daughter home. How I wished He had clued me in, but how much I just clung to knowing He had it all together. Praying that you get an LID very quickly and that the rest of the process goes smoothly!!
