I know that I've been fairly silent over the past couple of weeks regarding where things stand with R.'s adoption. There is a lot going on in my mind and heart and I'm not always sure what would be helpful to share. I will tell you this: it's been really hard, and I don't feel a lot of faith at the moment.
But, I know that the feelings of the moment aren't all that important. What's really important is what I know to be true: our God is faithful whether I feel it or not. He cares about sweet R. He loves her with an everlasting love. He has never left her alone, and He never will leave her alone. He is her Redeemer!
So, right now, while the feelings of faith are weak in me, I'm asking for your help. Would you please pray for me, for R. and for our family? There are some things happening in Ind*a in the next couple of days which will determine whether or not we will be able to proceed with R.'s adoption. We love this little girl so much, and we are incredibly grateful that our Father loves her even more! Please pray that His name would be glorified in her life! He is alive, my friends, and He has overcome this world.

Truly, adoption is filled with uncertainty and the potential for heartache . . . I will be praying for decisions in India that will bring your child home to you. And I will pray for your stamina through all these hurdles and obstacles. I know our God is capable of surprising us all.
A great big hug to you,
Nancy
You know I am praying!!!! :) Love you tons. And, this is an awesome song. My friend, Linda, posted these lyrics when she was in Russia adopting her little girl. It so applies....
Continued prayers for you & R, for Mer & V, for all of your families! I can't begin to imagine how hard this has been for all of you and I just pray that soon good news will come! Hugs & prayers to you my friend!!!
I am banging on the gates of heaven for Sweet R!! Also, that you will have peace-knowing that the Lord has her in the palm of His hand and that his thoughts for her are more than the grains of sand! Love you Sarah!!
Praying for you guys.
My name is Maren and we live near Cincinnati. We adopted a little girl from India last year and I thought you might be interested in our blog and experiences while we were there as there are not that many people who have adopted from India. aliensenroute.blogspot.com
I would be more than happy to pray for you and help you with experiences.
Praying for all of you and especially for your precious R right now. Big hugs my sweet friend:)
Praying for you, your family, and sweet little R.
Hugs,
Jenn
Oh I will pray for you. I understand not feeling faith. I am in that same place, lets hold onto Jesus until the very end. Praying that He will complete what He has begun!
I will be praying! God will lead and sustain you. Keep in the word, he is always faithful! Praying for little R too!
Saying prayers for all of you- for answers for direction, for peace and for clarity.
HUGS to you,
Jean
Lots of prayers.
