The Good, The Bad, and The Cutie

The Good...

We got another picture of Nathan a couple of weeks ago!

The Bad...

We had a delay/miscommunication with some of our paperwork. Instead of receiving our Article 5 this coming week like we had hoped, we will be waiting another two weeks. To say that yesterday was a bad day would be an understatement. Today, I have had time to remember that God is in control and I just need to trust His timeline.

And The Cutie...

As I was going to bed last night (and still feeling very sad and frustrated), I was "given" a very precious gift. While randomly reading some adoption blogs I suddenly saw pictures of Nathan at a birthday party for a little girl in the same orphanage! I cannot even begin to explain the joy we feel when we see a picture of our sweet son!

Nathan is the sweet little boy on the far left :) He has gotten a hair cut since the last picture and seems so tiny without all of the layers of clothes.


The other two children in this picture have families waiting anxiously to bring them home, also! It is comforting to know that these beautiful babes will all soon be with their forever families!

The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride. Ecclesiastes 7:8

    Thank you for sharing your story, not just your joy but also the sadness and frustration. It helps sometimes to know one is not the only one struggling. Your reliance on the Lord is a testimony.
