Wait and Pray

"Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord." 

Psalm 27:14

Great news! Our adoption paperwork (300+ pages) was finished yesterday! 

The hard copy of our home study has been completed and mailed to the adoption agency, the immigration office and another grant foundation. 

Now we can only wait and pray that the American and Indian governments will approve us and the finances will be provided. Please pray! 

My husband has been home from his Army desert training for a few days now. It has been so much fun watching "Anna's" video over and over, memorizing her voice and giggling as we mimic her accent in repeating her words to each other. 

At night, we ask each other what she might be doing at that moment in the orphanage. Is she eating breakfast as we go to sleep? Is she surrounded by other children? Is she playing? Is she singing? Is she at school being drilled with the English alphabet and numbers? In her video, she shows off what she's been learning in school, and we are so proud of her! 

Please pray that she will be safe. 
Please pray that God will prepare us and our daughter for each other while we are waiting.
Please pray that she will be home soon!
