Sometimes I feel burned out ...I really can relate. Sometimes I feel burned out and like I should just give up. I have no doubts about having Carmen as my daughter, but I have doubts galore about the process. We are still in the homestudy phase, and we have already had two speedbumps that have delayed us for weeks and cause so much frustration and doubts on my side. Praying you find your answers!<br />www.moveanymountian.blogspot.com<br />ElizabethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628753521152951781.post-48470301238476819492011-05-25T00:05:31.508-07:002011-05-25T00:05:31.508-07:00Oh Katrina, My heart aches for you.

You are such incredible, beautiful people and you will make amazing parents. I wish God could just call you up on the phone tonight and tell you what amazing plan he has for you. I heard a song in church the other day that at first I wasn't all that impressed with. But by the end of the song I was in tears because I realized the song had deep meaning to me. I had wanted Christ to come and fix things when I wanted them fixed but he came and fixed them when it was the right time and I stood back and marveled at the miracle. Here is a link to that song. If Thou Had Been Here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlgdHwT8rMs<br />I pray that you don't have to wait much longer for him to come and give you your miracle :)Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03779770874867573087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628753521152951781.post-90647356196636715652011-05-24T20:17:26.955-07:002011-05-24T20:17:26.955-07:00I wish I could give you a big hug right now.
We ...I wish I could give you a big hug right now. <br /><br />We started our adoption last August for two specific little boys in Lesotho. When the day came that we were supposed to be matched with them, we were instead matched with two completely different children that did not even fit within the age limits on our homestudy. We had to give up on all four children - the two we had started the process for five months prior and the two we were matched with. I was a mess. Absolutely a wreck. I spent about a week crying and telling my husband it was ridiculous that after five miscarriages and losing three referrals and then having to turn down these other two boys that we were still fighting to adopt again. <br /><br />And then we found out about the boys in Uganda. The ones that I believe firmly were supposed to be ours all along. The thing is, this journey isn't ever easy. There are a lot of ugly, difficult moments and it feels like there are no right answers. But God hasn't forgotten you and He does have a plan. <br /><br />Praying for you.Kaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04073684392781079255noreply@blogger.com
