Tonight was our weekly small group marriage study, during which Liliana spent time in our church's children's program. One of the caregivers had her precious foster baby with her, and Liliana was in love. She could not take her eyes (and hands) off of the tiny little girl, and she continued to talk about the baby as we were driving home. My heart was overjoyed to observe Liliana's tender and caring spirit; yet, it aches to know that our adoption may be weeks, months or even years away.
I know that God's plan is perfect, and I trust His timing. However, sometimes I wonder what's wrong with NOW? I mean, it seems that this is the ideal time for our family to grow...and yet there seems to be no movement in the adoption process.
Our life is good--very good--but it would be even richer with another member in our family. Our hearts are overflowing. Please pray that I would be patient, content and a blessing to others as we wait for our little one to come home.
In His grip,
Ramona

Ramona,
God already knows who your next child is, where they are right now, and when they will become a part of your family. I know (times 3!) how hard it is to wait. But I also know the joy of it being worth the wait! Remember that the Lord's timing is perfect. May He grant you peace and comfort as you wait.
Love,
Kelly
My heart aches for you my friend. Despite knowing God's best timing, the waiting more than stinks; it hurts. I have prayed for you and will continue to. Most of all, I pray that you will be aware of God's love in the midst of a less-than-desirable wait. We love ya.
