During our waiting time, I'm often reminded that God is always at work whether we can see it or not. Which is a wonderful thing! As you may or may not know, our agency- Bethany Christian Services, has discussion board which I am constantly checking. Its a wonderful place to ask questions and to celebrate each other's journey to our children. Ask Wes or anyone super close to me and they'll tell you I'm well-addicted to checking the boards to see if anyone has heard 'good news'. We have a waiting list which is fun to watch people transition between the phases of bringing their child home. Not everyone is on the boards but about 1/2 or so the veteran board addicts predict : ) Recently however, there haven't been many referrals on the boards because nobody who submitted their paperwork in April and May have chosen to participate on the discussion boards. Therefore, its been quiet. There's been this mysterious silence of now knowing if referrals are being made, how many, how are things progressing...
BUT- great news, as of yesterday, the silence just may have been broken. A family who submitted their paperwork on May 21st received a referral for a 6 week old baby boy. Our paperwork is a few months behind theirs but still- we're making progress!!!
So, please- keep praying for progress. Keep praying for our little one who very likely may already be born. Keep praying that God will have us meet in His pre-destined timing, just when everything is ready and set to go. Thanks for praying and trust us, if we get the BIG news....we'll be shouting it for the whole world to know! God Bless everyone : )
Since I check this blog daily, I decided to become an official follower today! All my love to Baby Roth from your Grandma Roth
