I have purposely taken a break from blogging for several weeks to enjoy our newest blessing.
I am now the proud mommy of 2 beautiful boys! Here's our sweet Micah Grayson......
I know... He's handsome. :) I'm not partial at all.
He has been such a GREAT baby. After Noah was such a wonderful baby, I thought there is NO WAY that I could have 2 babies this great. He will for sure cry 20 hours of every day.
Nope! God must have known I couldn't handle it. I am beyond thankful for 2 happy, content babies!
So, what's the bittersweet news?
Well... a couple of weeks ago, we got an e-mail from our adoption agency regarding some changes with Ethiopian adoptions. We had originally been very hopeful that the changes would include reducing necessary trips to Ethiopia from 2 to 1. That did not happen :( Without going through all the technicalities, there is basically a new process the USCIS is implementing called the PAIR process. This will most likely add several ADDITIONAL months to this process. There are some good things about the process, but it is still a hard pill to swallow.
As we sat on a conference call with our agency, tears streamed down my face. As I celebrate the beautiful life of my newest son, my heart hurts for our daughter, who will most likely have to spend additional time in institutionalized care.
So......... we continue to pray. And we continue to wait.
Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. -Isaiah 30:18
