Well an adoption update is long overdue and I have some exciting news to share about God's faithfulness! As you knew we were at a standstill for quite some time waiting for a letter from Deryk's doctor clearing his health. We had done everything else possible, but needed this letter to be able to progress to the next step which was the home study. The home study is a vital steps in the adoption process. This is where a social worker comes and looks at your home and your family and asks many, many questions over a 2 day period of time. Well the social worker was on her way to evaluate Eric and Wendy and we had hoped that we would be able to do ours at the same time to make the most of time and money as our social worker was traveling quite some distance, but at a week out I told Wendy to go ahead without us, that our letter still wasn't in. Wendy said, "It could still happen." However, after waiting for months, a week seemed very, very unlikely to get the letter and get everything in order. I guess my less than hopeful face was obvious so Wendy said, "God can move mountains, He can totally get a letter here on time!" It was just the reminder I needed and just the perfect opportunity for God to work, and work He did! Within a weeks time, our letter arrived, our agency went into fast gear to move paperwork along so that we could meet the deadline, a generous friend anonymously donated 5000 dollars towards adoption expenses not even knowing that was almost the exact amount needed for our next major payment in the process, and to top it all off, our University had a holiday that allowed us the extra time we needed to fill in the mountain of paperwork that had to be completed before our social worker arrived! INCREDIBLE! That is exactly what God meant when He said He will give us more than we can ever ask or imagine! Praise God!
Amazing ! Yeah ! :-)
