Madison at a One year
It was exactly one year ago today that we first laid eyes on a picture of Madison. We signed with our adoption agency on April 21, 2007 and that day took home three pictures of three beautiful baby girls. We prayed over the pictures and realized that Madison was the one meant to be our daughter. We have been in love with her ever since. She could not be a better fit for our family. We had heavy hearts about what would happen to the other baby girls but I am happy to say that they too have found homes. We had the privilege to meet one of the families during our last trip to Guatemala and I have to say that their little girl is a perfect match for them and will be going home this week. Isn't it amazing how God knows just which child will be perfect for each family? Our adoption journey has been a very long journey but we know that Madison is worth the wait. We had hoped to have her home in time to welcome her little brother into this world but unfortunately that will not be the case. Especially since we have only a few more weeks until Jacob's due date (with the hopes that he arrives a little early). Instead of Madison being here to welcome Jacob home, Jacob will be here to welcome his big sister home.
After a year of waiting we feel that it is definitely time for Madison to come home. We are asking for everyone to please pray her home. We would ask that you all specifically pray for the hearts of the City Hall officials be softened so that they will release her birth certificate. We have to have that birth certificate before our case will move forward again. We have been waiting for them to release it for several months now. It seems that the hold up could be something that is completely out of our control such as a battle between the City Hall and the Government agency.
We are also still waiting on Jacob's arrival but as soon as he is here we will be sure to let everyone know. We found out today that he is already measuring at 40 weeks and I still have 2 weeks to go before I will officially be 40 weeks.
We ask that you keep the pregnancy in your prayers as well.

Keep trusting in God's plan for your family. We can't wait to meet both Madison & Jacob, they will bring you more joy than you can imagine. All of you are always in our prayers.
