Rescheduled
Our court date yesterday had to be rescheduled because our file had not yet been reviewed by the new Central Authority in Ethiopia. We were one of 5 families who had court dates yesterday, and the only family who had to reschedule. Although I am extremely happy for the other families (I have become close to many of the families adopting through our agency), I am really struggling to understand why we were the only family who didn't get to have our court date yesterday. Honestly, I am good with the wait: I have moved on and taken my life "off hold." I just wish I knew why not us? I pray God will show us why we needed to wait. If it's merely another lesson in patience, I've really had enough!!

We're praying for you Linam family.....we're here for you if you need us..
Happy 5 month bday JAmes!
I am so sorry for you and your family. I remember that feeling of "being the only one" when Julie called to tell us we lost our first referral and that this was the first time this happened the way it happened for us. It seems to make the wait a little harder and a litter sadder. I'll be praying for you and that your new date is soon. God Bless...Shannon
Oh my friend, I'm so disappointed.
I am so sorry. I don't know what lesson it could be...honestly, we've been waiting for over three years...when we recently got the news that the wait would be longer, I seriously thought about crawling into bed and never coming out. Every time we get to referral level, something seems to knock us away from bringing home our children.
God is Sovereign, His timing is perfect. Enjoy today, tomorrow will come and in His time so will your sweet little one.
Praying for you- for strength and a joy unspeakable.

Oh Leann, I am so sorry. I agree that sometimes it is so hard to understand God's timing. I will continue to pray for you and that this new court date comes quickly! Hang in there!

I will be praying for you all. I am sure it hurts a lot.
Leann--We are all lifting you up in prayer right now knowing that this is all meant to be. How? I certainly do not know but I have to believe it. Thinking about you and your WHOLE family--
I'm sorry for this sad news.
