Change of Plan

Well, as you know, things are not moving along as we had hoped. We are 4 months post Dossier arriving in Bogota's Regional Office. There continues to be more Colombian families piling up in Bogota. Julie has been very supportive; we have been communicating back and forth this past week. I'm so glad to have her. Eventhough our agency is going through a hard time right now, they seem to still be on top of things.

Julie spoke with Lucia this week, and they feel it would be best to move our dossier out of Bogota. I don't know if they will allow us to do this or not. We are not even sure if this will delay us more. It is so hard to get specific information. I hate not being in control. Julie feels that Lucia will make the best decision for us, and we will go with that. I will keep everyone posted on this.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Thank you!

I will pray that your paperwork be sent to the appropriate area and for the matching process to come forth very soon. Keep trusting in the Lord because there are great things in store for you! Relinquishing control was the hardest, but the most absolute, lesson of faith during our own adoption process. Keep your focus clear! You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Praying for you and your family!! The loss of control in this process is so difficult...I keep telling God that "I got It...I don't need any more patience". I don't think that He is buying it ; ) Hang in there!

We are experiencing the same hurdles. We were assigned to a region in April 08. We just found out that are papers have been sent back to Bogota awaiting another region assignment. The previous region had no possibilities for a referral. I will keep you in my prayers because I really understand how difficulty of the wait. It has been 3 years and 10 mths for us.
Take Care,
Leslie

I just wanted you to know that I check in on your blog from time to time. I have been praying for you each time I see no change every since I understood where you were at. May the Lord open wide the doors....

Sending our prayers as you wait for further information. We are in waiting mode too and anxious to find out who our kids will be. Hopefully, you will hear something from Julie very soon.
