We are just a simple, East Tennessee family of 5 who has learned that life can be a blast!, even when things look rough. We don't understand why the LORD has blessed us and given us strength, but He has & we Praise Him!!!!

Still Waiting!
Will the phone ever ring? We hope our agency will call within the next couple of months to tell us that we are matched with Lela. We grow more anxious, as we are quite confident that adoptions in Vietnam will shut down in September (the 2 countries can't agree on the new bi-lateral agreement and the current one expires in Sept).
Our agency keeps telling us that we are far enough along in the process...not to worry. Easier said, than done! So, we wait on the phone call. Keep praying as we fight fear and doubt. Kathy

Yesterday was 4 months DTV!
"4 months DTV" means our paperwork has been in Vietnam for 4 months. We are hoping for a match with Lela in the next 2 months....but it could be longer.
Keep praying!

Hope is restored!!!
It is hard to share all the latest happenings with Vietnam adoptions....but let's just say...things are now looking brighter than they have in the last few weeks.
You know...the other day I was reading about Joshua in the bible. Don't you know that he wanted to say, "What? March around Jericho seven times? That will take too long, how about only once? but, seven?...that doesn't make sense!" But God had a plan and His timing was perfect. Same with adoption....it doesn't make sense that it is so hard and time consuming to rescue one child. Instead of spending my energies on trying to figure it all out....I need to keep marching (and trust the LORD's timing).
My hope was fading, but has now been restored!!
Keep praying!!
