the Lord brought it to pass...

as many of you know, Mike and I have been absolutely torn between the two boys. We have very peacefully come to a decision to adopt the 9 year old, little boy A (granted he is still available when we get there and granted once we meet him, we still feel he is our son). Nothing is official with the U*rain* until we have meet the child. We, for the past few months have cried, prayed and poured our hearts out to the Lord over this. We felt like we were just not getting an answer so we decided a couple weeks back that we would try to adopt them both, however the uk**aine is not longer allowing adoptions for 2 unrelated children on one visit...thus was the Lord closing the door for us to get both. We finally surrendered to the Lord, choose a child and will trust Him. The Lord started this process and the Lord will faithfully fulfill His purpose and we will come home with the child he has for us. If we get to our appt in the U***ine and this little boy "A" is not available or we decide he is not our child...then we go back for another appt and ask to see other children. We are seeking a boy, between the ages of 6-10 who are blind. The Lord has given us that specific burden for blind children. The U*rain* will not allow for adoptions anymore for children 5 and under unless they have a more severe need and "just" being blind is not severe enough for the *krain*, thus the 6-10 age range. We are excited that the Lord has finally brought to pass His will...and His will was and will continue to be, to trust Him. HE is sovereign and we finally find peace in that....we are excited to see who the Lord will have for us...we believe "A" to be our son...but if God closes that door...He will open another one.
