It has been another trying week with more ups and downs on our adoption journey, but in the end we received clarity from God and have a peace about what has happened over the course of the last two weeks. We are certain that God called us to adopt TWO little girls and that has not changed, just our execution of that plan has.
The following quote from a book I am reading sums everything up so well with what we are going through: "Just because something is complicated or doesn't turn out quite the way we expected, that doesn't mean it isn't God's ordained plan" (Ott, 2013). This path is indeed complicated and laden with paperwork. There have been many bumps in the road, but in the end we know that God's plan will prevail and we put our full trust in him to carry us through whatever may come up.
I titled this post WAITING ON LID because that is indeed where we are. We are waiting to be officially logged in to the Chinese Government Database for prospective adoptive parents. Once we have this date, we will begin the referral process and hopefully be matched with one of our daughters very soon!
We are about two weeks into the waiting process that is supposed to be three weeks long, but with the holidays, I am not sure if there will be yet another bump for us to deal with; we shall see.
