Well, I just need to say that I have the best friends in the world! So thanks for caring and loving and praying for us during this hard time.
I haven’t posted but on Friday (1/16) we got more news that was not good. It seems that there will be more waiting (surprise, surprise) and then to put a cherry on all of this -it appears that Kryg. law states that only children with special needs should be available for inter-country adoption. I am not sure how long that has been the law but it certainly has not always been practiced. According to our agency, as of now, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has asked for all the children who have been referred for inter country adoption to be re-evaluated to see IF they are special needs. We don’t know for sure what will happen if they are not deemed special needs but there is a chance (not for sure) that our referral will be taken away and then be available only for domestic adoption in Kyrg.
At this point, Trevis is standing in the gap for us. He is fighting and pleading before the Lord as David did when he sought to save the life of his first child with Bathsheba. I am grateful for his determination-this is what makes him my hero. I, on the other hand, am just coming before the Lord asking him for the grace to trust Him-no matter what the outcome. I do not feel the despair that I did a week ago-I know that God will do what will glorify Him the most and it is to that end that we endeavor to do anything at all. Even if the outcome doesn’t make sense to me-I know His will is best. Continue to pray with us …I promise to do some light post with some pics soon. Again, thanks everyone for your patience and generous hearts of encouragement.

I didn’t know about the latest update. What a roller coaster. I am praying for all these waiting children. Frustrating is an understatement.

Lord, please move in Kyrgyzstan. May You bring out our children and keep them safe while we wait. Amen.
Hang in there.

Oh Bec, I continue to pray for you, today especially. I’m glad I checked your blog today. God has a perfect plan for Micah. You’ve reminded me before that as much as we might love and care about someone, God loves and cares about them even more. Hard to believe on days like this, I’m sure. You are deeply loved and missed, my friend.

Oh, friends, what a journey. My heart is sad with you over the uncertainty and the potential loss of what you have been hoping for. I know you are trusting the Lord and I will continue to pray for your comfort, wisdom, and strength as He does what He has purposed for you.

If you would like to discuss the special needs status off site, feel free to email me and I will share what I have experienced with this….
In the mean time, we will continue to pray for your situation
