Some Yucky News

In addition to some other yucky things going on in this house, we just received an update on our adoption process.  UGH!!!!  We have to WAIT!!!  More unfortunate is that Gavin has to Continue to WAIT!!!!   A new agency is handling all adoptions where Gavin lives.  Well, they took over last week.  So, it will take them some time to be fully staffed and become familiar with all operations of adoption.  Obviously I understand as it only makes sense.  But, the bottom line is that we probably will not receive our invitation (travel date) until the beginning of December at the earliest.  The chance that our sweet little boy will be home this year is very very slim the way I understand things.  So He waits...........  The scariest part is that he will be 4 years old in May.  Now it is a known fact that orphans with Down syndrome or other special needs are transferred to an adult mental institution after their 4th birthday.  So Please Please Pray that our sweet precious little boy will continue to stay in the baby house until we can get him!!!!  Please Pray that he knows we Love him and we would leave tomorrow if we could to bring him home.  Thank you so much!!!!!!

I PROMISE 
 Mommy & Daddy are coming Sweet Boy!!!!!!!

  5. What devastating news. I will be praying for sweet Gavin and for your family! I pray that the Lord gives you peace that is beyond any explanation, and that Gavin is wrapped in the Lords arms until you are able to be there.

  6. Oh Summer! I'm so very sorry to hear this. It really, really stinks (understatement)! It's all a little too familiar isn't it? :-( One year later...It stinks Gavin has to wait longer, it also really stinks you have the potential of missing Christmas (again!) with your family. I know you would (and have) done anything to bring these angels home, but I was there with you last Christmas and it is making me cry just thinking of you being gone again. Praying the Lord works it out so you are HOME before Christmas! HE CAN DO IT! PRAYING!!!

  8. I'm right there with you! I'm praying and asking God for a travel date for my birthday next week, so if I get my wish, you probably will, too! Love and HUGS! We'll get there and maybe we'll be there together!
