One More....Prayers from my Blogging Friends

Wow!

I just read my comments after the day of fasting and praying for orphans on Sept 8! My blogging friends - you are truly amazing, and I will be forever grateful for your prayers, support, and education. It is truly amazing to see the bond that God has given us, emabracing us across the States and Nations. Thank You!

*Keep praying and with God's Guidance, we can make a difference and BECOME different because of the orphans of the world.

WooooHoooo! Sept 20th

Here's what we rec'd (slightly modified) from our caseworker:
Dear Rwanda Program Families:

We wanted to share with you good news that we received from our in-country representative. He has informed us that the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion has accepted your family’s dossier and you are now officially waiting to adopt a child from Rwanda. While the Rwanda program is still very new and continues in its pilot phase, we are anticipating that from dossier submission it will likely take up to a year for families to be matched with a child and bring that child home from Rwanda. As always, we will keep families posted if there are any new developments in the program or your individual case.



Least to say, we have a lot to celebrate. We're going to be bringing our baby home soon! Thank you God for being truly AMAZING! We are so blessed with your Grace, Strength, and Support! We will continue to follow the path you have us on, and we are truly thankful!

Prayers for Rwanda and Bringing Our Baby Home

There's a whole invisible world that gathers under the category of the international adoption blog community. It's amazing. Friends united through the blogging world. Today (Wednesday Sept 8th), we are joining hands and prayers for the orphans of the world. Please consider joining with us by praying and fasting today, or a day this week, for our baby and others. Their stories can be found here (http://aplacecalledsimplicity.blogspot.com/2010/09/why-does-it-have-to-be-so-hard-part-2.html).

Please pray with us that the people in charge of Rwandan adoptions would be able to move quickly through the stack of dossiers that represent families and open arms. Pray for the children who are waiting to be united with their families. Pray for the sisters who run the orphanage where these children live. Pray for everyone involved that they be and do what they need to be and do. May God move mightily and may we see many doors swing open and many kids go home.
