Hello friends! Sorry for the delay, but it has been a busy few months. Adelynn and I braved a trip half way around the world (ALONE!), and we made it. It was an awesome adventure to say the least! We arrived back in the states on April 28 and stayed until July 9. Travis was able to join us toward the end of our visit by taking 21 days of leave from work. We took advantage of childcare and we went on a much needed vacation to Cancun, Mexico. We enjoyed every minute of it!
Now, we are back in Japan and back to reality and all that God has called us to do. We are currently focusing on our adoption process, so please continue to left us up in prayer as we seek the will of God. We have been in contact with our caseworker, however, she has no news for us yet. So, now we wait... We pray daily for God's will and provision and that He would provide a child (or children) to join our family. Please join us in that prayer. Time is an issue, because we have until December for a child to be placed in our home, due to the lengthy legal proceedings . If a child is placed after December, we will not be in Japan long enough to finalize custody, birth certificates, passports etc. We are still hopeful and excited to adopt here, if not, then we will start over when we return to the states. We having a calling to adopt children, only God knows where they are. So we are still trusting His timing and plan.
After all, we were orphans and God found us and called us His own......
