Psalm 25:5
Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

Immigration approval is from the US govt. They have given us the authorization to welcome 2 children, ages 0-7 with special needs into the country (which is what we applied for 8 weeks ago.)
Our agency is still going to have to make the decision about allowing the adoption of 2 unrelated children at the same time, which they have yet to do.

Hope that clarifies. I know it's confusing. I'm just learning to "speak adoption." ;-)

God has been faithful and has taught me through this experience to better trust in Him during times of uncertainty, when there is nothing I can do to make things go as I would like, when I clearly don't have all the answers, nor any real control over the situation. Although much relief would come from finally having a decision, dealing with it whatever it may be, then moving forward, being in a holding pattern has been beneficial. I have to surrender it to Him, I can not will this into happening, my best efforts have been made, and I am not even exactly sure what I should be praying for.
I don't know what the future holds for us or this boy, but I know God is good and He is real and He is near and that is enough for today....
Let His will be done in His good and perfect timing.
