You know the saying, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? Well, the past couple of months, I haven't said anything at all. We try to make everything sound good and positive but the truth is, it's not always good and positive. It's hard! We try to focus on the good and the positive because that's what it takes to get you through the hard times. I do want to give an update though.
Several things have been mixed up in our paperwork. There is another Boyd family adopting from the orphanage and we are working with three agencies so there are lots of places for errors and mix-ups to be made and they are happening. There have been a lot of set backs. They have only done one referral since the end of November (that we know of). So even though we're in the top ten, things aren't moving very quickly. Remember all the people from the last post who were going to give us the things we need? None of them are replying back to me and two of them have moved off of the island. So, I'm sure we can safely say that we can't count on those things anymore.
I wish that I could give a better report of our progress. The agency assures us that things are moving forward even though it doesn't feel like it. We just keep telling ourselves that God has a baby meant for our family and our time will come. Patience is hard but we know it will be for the best in the end. Please pray that God gives us patience and understanding through the process and that things run more smoothly. We really hope and pray that 2015 is our year.
