Following Him Wherever...: Update

Update

Adam and I got a call on Friday to let us know that the young girl who recently came to the orphanage where "W" is staying, is his ten year old sister. After A LOT of prayer and talking to our adoption agency and our local social worker, we have decided not to accept these two children. We have been instructed that these two children would be better in a home with parents who have prior experience with adopting older children and/or older children in their home already. Please pray for our family as this decision was very difficult. We have been placed back on the waiting list and will hopefully receive a new referral within the next few months.

Thanks for all of your prayers.

I'm sure you entered that decision prayerfully, and I know there must be feelings of loss right now. We'll be praying that you have more news soon, and that when your next placement occurs, you are overwhelmed with a sense of peace and assurance. :) See you tomorrow!
