Waiting

What is new in the wide world of adoption?

Not a thing. Hence the lack of blog updates. I don't have much to say.

We have been waiting now over 5 months for our sweet little boy to pass court and be deemed officially a Huette; however, it still hasn't happened. What was estimated to take 3 months is well on it's way to taking twice that. (Our little girl won't join us until later summer/early fall, so the 5 month wait has been for our son.)

Our dear friends are over there now and have been able to hold our children and take pictures and videos, which has been such a blessing. BUT it makes me want them home that much more.

I believe that God is in control. He will dictate the events that need to take place for us to be able to bring them home. I have been reminded over and over lately that I have no power over this process and can do nothing to speed up court proceedings. I can only wait and pray. And so that's where I am...praying for my child at home to be able to adjust to the addition of siblings. Praying for our children in Africa to be protected from illness and to be ready to join our home. Praying for the transition to be smooth and for God to prepare us to care for and love three children under 2.5! Praying for court proceedings to pass without problems and for the ability to wait well and not waste my days away hoping for that phone call.

But oh how I hope that it comes soon!
