  3. I am so sorry that you didn't pass. I can totally tell that you are under attack from satan. I will continue to pray for you guys and that God gives you peace during these tough times.

  4. I can tell you from my own two year struggle to bring our daughter home that I truly understand your feelings. My heart is breaking for you.
    The only thing that I could hold onto was Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans for hope and future."
    You know in your heart God intended for Naomi to be a part of your family. Cry and be sad then get up and realize God is in control. I wish we couled change that but He does know more than we could ever hope to. He will watch over her, after all He loves her even more than you! Please know I have so much sympathy for you and I am praying for you. This is no fun but Belle has been home for three years now and it all seems like a distant memory. When I look into her beautiful face I thank God for His plan for our lives.

  7. I know your heart is breaking. Remember that Jesus is weeping with you. He doesn't want this either. It is not God's plan for children to be orphans. He will prevail! Praying for peace and rest for you and your family. So sorry.

    Love in Jesus,
    Amy

  9. I have friends who have adopted from Ethiopia and they had a really hard time with the court system too. I want to encourage you that even though they had to go back to court things did work out and God brought their children home last spring. I understand how you feel because our foster care adoption hit a low just before Thanksgiving and we are now waiting once again to see what will happen.
    I am praying for your family and your sweet baby girl.

    Blessing:)

  10. I'm glad you got a rescheduled date not too far off, I'll pray for your USCIS to be approved before court so you're all set to travel. Maybe you'll be in Ethiopia for Ethiopian Christmas?? That would be awesome. ((Hugs))) I know it's the last thing you wanted to hear today :( Prayers for birth mom too.

  12. I am so sorry Dawn. There is nothing more worse than the waiting game, that we go through in adoption. I wish I could say something comforting. I will keep you and your family in our Prayers!

  13. Too many blows for one family in one day! I am so sorry Dawn. I will pray hard for you guys that the Lord provides all the weapons you need to fight these battles!

  14. To quote Twila Paris: "This is no time for fear. This is a time for faith and determination. Don't lose the vision here, carried away by emotion. Hold onto all that you hide in your heart; there is one thing that will always be true - it will be true forever! GOD IS IN CONTROL. WE BELIEVE THAT HIS CHILDREN WILL NOT BE FORSAKEN. GOD IS IN CONTROL. WE WILL CHOOSE TO BELIEVE AND WILL NEVER BE SHAKEN. THERE IS NO POWER ABOVE OR BESIDE HIM, WE KNOW. GOD IS IN CONTROL!

    Hang on, and chalk this whole day up to Satan trying to defeat a very important work in your lives. He WILL not win - God is so much bigger. We are praying for your peace and for little Naomi.

  17. After I posted today this thought that came to me, it's something I remind myself when I have one of those horrible days. It's that we need those dreadful, awful, horrible days to really appreciate all the goods! I know it isn't easy, but hopefully today will make tomorrow that much better. Thinking of you :)
