Agency Trip Day 8: Last Day In Uganda

The trip is almost over! Our agency has worked hard the last week and we are so grateful for their concern. We haven't heard anything yet from them and don't expect to hear until the middle of the month. Obviously our hope, and the hope of our agency, is to be able to continue adoptions and place kids in families. We have worked hard this week to finish paperwork, physicals and reading for our home study. We are praying this is just a small hiccup and that our adoption will continue!



Today we are praying our adoption will continue ethically.

Pray for the orphans who are in orphanages who are waiting for families, pray their forever families can adopt them soon!

Pray for all the families who are anxiously waiting to hear more from our agency. Pray as we, and they, prepare their hearts to welcome a child into their home.

Pray our agency found a way for us to continue our adoption while honoring the people, culture and laws of Uganda

As this week has gone on, I've become more and more anxious to hear news from our agency. Seems like a forever waiting game for what is next but that's how adoptions work!  But, at the same time, we have had a peace knowing we trust our agency, we trust that God called us to adopt AT THIS TIME and we trust that God called us to adopt from UGANDA!! This is our Father's World!!  Pray this is just a small hiccup and not the end or pause to our adoption. We want to bring our child/children home and we want to do it asap! We have been so blessed to know we and our child/children are covered in prayer this week. Thank you for tracking with us, we will still post daily prayer requests until after our agency is home!

We Got News

Nothing happens quickly in the adoption world, it's full of waiting and waiting. We were told we would hear after the 16th from our agency regarding their trip. But WE WERE EMAILED TODAY!! That was 4 days early. I made Chris read it out loud to me and I guarded my heart to hear the impact. I'm not ready to give up yet, I don't feel like God is closing this door....he read these words: "the trip was a positive one in many aspects as his meetings brought about much information" Information...that's not what I want to hear. My heart sank, positive in what way? Positive in that we got a lot of information, cleared things up, door are closing but at least we did things the right way? Please God NO!  Then he read: " One of the main ideas he experienced was seeing many officials and organizations desire REFORM , not CLOSURE of the guardianship/adoption process. "Our Agency" also feels that reform is necessary in order to move forward. From these...

We're Adopting!!!

It's true...we have a special someone thousands of miles away, who may or not be born yet, who is being intricately woven deep into our hearts! We have longed for this day for so long and we long even more to hold our child in our arms and call them ours! And, to be truthfully honest, we both are scared even to announce it. This has been our deep desire for years and now that it's here the heavy weight of reality hits. We are going to welcome a precious child into our home who we haven't known and loved since birth. We have the weighty honor of loving a child who comes from loss. My heart has ached for months now to bring him/her home but since we've been accepted by our agency, the ache hurts just a little more, just a little deeper. This is REALLY happening!! To bring you all up to speed, we have always wanted to adopt and felt called to adopt from Uganda. We have dreamed of this for so long but planned to adopt after having at least one biological child. Sill...

It's a....

Girl!!  1 sweet, little 2 year old!! We have named her "N" Margaret Negrete. We aren't sharing her first name privately because we've decided to keep her birth name. Margaret is my paternal grandma's name. She passed away last March. Margaret means "Pearl" and Uganda is known as the Pearl of Africa!! Here is what we already know about her: She was born only 25 day before we began our adoption process, she's been here all that time!! She was placed in the orphanage at 2 days old and has spent her entire life in the same orphanage. She has the chubbiest cheeks and sweet Buddha belly. She has great expressive eyebrows that may kill us when she's a teenager. (Chris: the first time I get those eyebrows, I'm just going to melt even though she'll be mad at me) She has awesome hair, you should see her 4 month picture. We have a newborn, 4month, around 1 year, 18month and recent 2 year old pictures. It's rare to be have so ma...
