Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
I got the official letter from Vietnam so I'm on my way to adopting a precious baby girl although it isn't the baby girl I was initially referred. It's so amazing how God used this first baby to get me matched to my forever baby. I love it!!
I found out my papework is back from the capital and I will be signing adoption placement papers for my Rowan in the next two weeks. I truly thank Him that this long, supremely difficult journey is almost to a close.
And finally, I was in an accident yesterday that totaled my car, more than likely. I thank Him that I had already dropped Jory off at school that the other driver had yet to pick up his daughter. That neither of us were hurt. I ache a bit, but I"m okay. He works in mysterious ways, far beyond our understanding. Yes, I had been talking about getting a Toyota Sienna, I need the space, but this was not the way I imagined it would happen. But what do I know...God knows best and I praise Him for it.

I am so glad no one was hurt in the accident!
Congrats on your baby news! Any idea when she will be coming home?
Yash, I've been wondering.....How many children do you have? For some reason I thought you only had Jory, but then I read somewhere that you have more. Plus you just mentioned Rowan! I'm very curious!!
Feelinggreyt,
First there was Jory. Then there was Jory and Sasha for 8 glorious months until she went to live with her cousin, but she'll always be my oldest girl. Then back to just Jory. Then Jory and Rowan. And sometime in the spring or late winter of 2009, it'll be Jory, Rowan, and Layla. And number 4 will come home years from now.

Feelinggreyt,
We do have a wonderful little family and can't wait until Layla joins us. Thanks.
Yash, that is wonderful news. God does work in ways truly beyond our understanding. I am learning that when He says,"...All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose" that His Word never returns to Him void!!!
Congratulations. Be Blessed.

Nik, you are so right. Layla's adoption is all about faith. How liberating to just trust God and go. I wish I could do that with everything.
