By Faith Not By Sight

We are a family that loves God and loves each other. Our family is built through, and so blessed by adoption. As a family we are lead to pray for the children who remain orphans with no family to call their own, no mom and dad to take care of them. When one face began to repeatedly appear to us, and many things kept connecting us to one little boy, we began to look closer at this one child in an orphanage in China. We began to listen to our hearts and pray harder. Fast forward to a year later. Our Pastor is teaching on circle prayers. Calling us to move to a higher level in our prayer life and faith. Bold prayers, "circle prayers", prayers that call us to step out in faith, without giving up. Pressing in to the heart of God. So circle prayers are what we are praying, for God to lead us and provide a way for us to bring this little boy home.

First glitch

O.K., first very frustrating glitch. After realizing they would not accept all the copies of birth and marriage certificates we had left from Allie's adoption because they were over 6 months old, (not getting why that should matter when they don't change) we quickly reordered everything again so we would be ready to complete our home study and start immigration. Well, the other day the certificates arrived, on time. Yeah.  Then I opened the package. Michael's were there, mine were not.  But they charged the full $100. O.K. so I'm upset because this will now mess up the schedule but alright I'll just get this straightened out and ask them to send my copies. I'm going to spare you all the boring details but basically after all morning of trying to reach them by phone and internet. I finally get through by phone only to find out it is a strictly automated system where you can not speak to a human being, and there is no automated option for "you robbed me". Not anything even remotely close. Only to order more, which I did. Trying desperately to get everything done. Hoping they will send a refund shortly. UUuuuugggghhh!
