When we got there and I saw that there was a queen and a full I started to cry. Hubby was like, "what's wrong?" and I said, "I miss my kids!" I was so sad that there was room for them and they weren't with us. I understand your sadness. Our kids will all be home soon, I pray!Dawn S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03288804148267527820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973083966958529302.post-61853367106518283982008-07-13T23:20:00.000-05:002008-07-13T23:20:00.000-05:00awww, girl, I could have written that post. We lea...awww, girl, I could have written that post. We learned about Patricia in early Dec. then we found out her bro was available in Feb. (if we sponsored him, FHG could take him in) and then in early March my mom got sick and the next 4 months were a blur. Two months of her in the hospital(she came through it all, by some miracle!), two months of cleaning out their home of 29 years and painting every surface etc,etc,etc. SO it took us until LAST week to get our dossier sent out. **SIGH** So I totally get the guilt thing, but that is the last thing that the Lord wants for us. He is in charge and it will work out. I so understand your desire to make sure that nothing you do or don't do makes your child wait any longer, but the truth is, God is up there orchestrating the whole thing. This is for sure my longest comment ever. Glad to have found your blog and keep that chin up, my friend!Dawn S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03288804148267527820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973083966958529302.post-24208545768307487662008-07-11T11:37:00.000-05:002008-07-11T11:37:00.000-05:00It took us a long time to get our dossier ready to...It took us a long time to get our dossier ready too. I waited way too long just to have someone tell me they couldn't do the homestudy, then everything got sent back from authentication and it took six weeks for legalization. Knowing what I do know, I could have it ready a lot faster. I keep thinking if I'd gotten it around I would have been out of ibesr before the dispense thing started and they'd be almost home. At least there is no more dispense and a file from our O went through in six weeks although most are taking three months now.Kathy Casselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886511489428522492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1973083966958529302.post-56369248634404779252008-07-10T10:10:00.000-05:002008-07-10T10:10:00.000-05:00Great post!

And your husband's prayer was absolutely God honoring, it admitted that God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways are not our ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
