Long Time, No Update

Well, it's been a little over a year later, and no, we didn't bring a baby home in 2014. It ended up being a year of illness (for me), losing weight (for both of us!), and good family time. But, during 2014 there was really no movement in our adoption. I have to admit, as much as we have tried to trust that everything will happen in God's timing, the wait has gotten difficult. We've had some hard days, especially in the past few months. 

However, things are beginning to warm back up in the adoption process in Ghana. We have seen a referral go out to a family for the first time in 18 months! PLUS- we just found out that we are NEXT in line for a referral for our agency, and they are actively working on finding the perfect match for our family! 

This is my excited face!

Will we get a referral in the next couple of days or weeks? Probably not, but hopefully we will receive it in the upcoming months of 2015. 

Please, please, please pray that they find our child and match us soon. The longer we wait, the older our child grows without his family. We are so thankful to God that he has refreshed us with this exciting news! We really needed it. 

Here's to 2015! Things can only go up from 2014! Ha!
