Good News and Not So Good News

Well in the earlier post I posted that our case was being re-submitted to PGN. Our agency thought that was going to be the case but it was not. Our attorney decided to go over each of his cases with a fine tooth comb and make sure there were no issues before he re-submitted them to PGN. He spent this week going over the cases again and was only able to submit 3 out of 12 cases to PGN today. Unfortunately our case was not one of the 3. They did tell us that he is planning on submitting our case sometime next week. We are going to pray that this happens and wait for the news from our agency. We were also reassured that our case is not just being pushed to the side but that our attorney and his assistant are trying to work on all cases and have spent this "waiting" time trying to fix the reasons for the kick outs on all cases. Wayne and I both understand that sometimes it can take weeks if not months to fix an issue with a case due to the location of the birth and the lack of technology in some areas. We also realize that our case is not their only case and that each family is waiting for a child not just us. We have been out of PGN since October 25 and trying to wait patiently for our case to be corrected and then re-submitted. Unfortunately when it was finally all corrected the current PGN was not taking any cases due to the new laws going into effect. Then we had to wait for the new laws and the new Central Authority to be established. Well it is finally looking like there is light at the end of the tunnel and that we will hopefully be able to post sometime next week that we are officially back in PGN.
For some other news, during the conversation with our agency coordinator tonight we were discussing our plans to go visit Madison for her birthday. During this part of the conversation we also let her know that Madison will also soon be a big sister. We were hesitant to let them know about this news because we were not sure what delays it might cause in the adoption. Well we found out tonight that will it not only NOT be an issue but that she (our coordinator) is extremely excited for us. This only confirmed for us that we are certainly working with the right agency.

Please keep us in your prayers and feel free to leave us comments when you read the blog. We love to hear what you all think.

I check your blog almost everyday to see if there are any new updates (that way, I don't have to pester you every time I see you). Every time I check your blog, I'm reminded pray for your family (including little Madison and your other addition too!). You guys have been really patient, and it's been neat to see you guys trusting in the Lord's timing. We definitely know about waiting on the Lord. We know it can be difficult, but we pray His strenth, courage, and peace for you.
