Sad

The rumor today is not a good one. Unfortunately, it looks like China is putting everything on hold for now due to the Swine Flu outbreak. There will be no referrals sent and no travel approvals given. For us that means we will not see a picture of our child this month. For those people that received their referrals for their children last month, they will not be given permission to travel to China. My heart really goes out to these people as this must be devastating to have a picture and information about your child, know their languishing in an orphanage and not be able to get them. This seems hard enough for us..and we were just waiting for the "the call". At this point, we don't know how long things could be on hold. It could be a month, it could be several. This morning I was extremely sad about this turn of events but I am feeling a bit better now. God has provided solace. For me He sent it through a dear friend and a Sister-In-Law as well as many facebook friends. Thank you for all the encouragement and prayers ladies. It is appreciated much more than you know! This journey has not been an easy one for us but we continue to trust God through it all. We know He has the perfect child for us and we will continue to wait on Him.
