We're Still Here

Yep. That's right. We're still here. It is now 21 months. Here's the latest.

In Spetember we were informed that AFTH had decided not to renew their contract with Paul and Sandy. This news hit us like a ton of bricks. Sandy and Paul were the reason that AFTH had such a successful Vietnam program. There's not enough time to go into the why's and where for's, but it delayed things...yet again.

We continue to get reassurances from AFTH, but see no progress. Each day ticks by and the news is filled with stories about how the US and Vietnam may not renegotiate an agreement which could bring an end to adoptions by September 1. And then several other adoptions have been tied up in immigration battles. You look around every corner and you have to think, that there is no chance that this adoption will ever happen.

But we have faith. It has been shaken, we have questioned, but in the end we have kept our faith in the Lord. We continue to seek Him each and every day with our prayers (Lilli too) and know that God has not lead us down an empty rabbit hole. It will happen. Thank you God. It will happen.

Keep praying. AFTH says we should hear by the end of February. Thank you God. It will happen,
