The social worker has come on and gone. She was a beautiful person and we truly loved her heart. She has a heart for the orphans and especially for Haiti. We had 3 visits with her; one with the whole family, one with Ty and I individually and then as a family again. The girls had the honor of giving her a tour of our home and their brother's room; they were thrilled. We are just waiting for the write up and all our clearances to come back. Next step....I-600A.
But....there's always an also or change in international adoption; we have an additional Adoption Education class to take. The state of VA has changed their requirements and we will now be taking another course called "With Eyes Wide Open."
We pray for the children of Ghana and our "son." Please pray with us for the people of Ghana. We have been made aware of 3 little boys, over the age we first discussed, who are on the waiting list for forever families. Pray with us that God will connect them with right families; even if that means that one comes home with us. Pray for all the missionary families that are on the ground in Ghana bringing the love of Christ to the nations.
We met a couple who the wife is from Ghana and we are planning to get together to learn more about the culture; so excited!! More to come on that....
Until next time...
I leave you with this verse. "I will not leave you as orphans [comfortless, desolate, bereaved, forlorn, helpless]; I will come [back] to you" John 14:18. We continually praise God for not leaving us fatherless or alone. We also believe that as children of God we should go out to the nations and bring the FATHER to those who are desolate, helpless, loss. Just as we were adopted into God's family and given a better life we feel compelled to go to the nations and bring an orphan child home!
you are such a wonderful family! and can not wait to meet your "son"
