With this reminder I will tell you that we lost the baby that we were pursuing. She was adopted by a Russian family. I guess "lost" may be the wrong word to use. We cannot loose something that we never had. She was not ours. And now she has a mommy and a daddy to love her and I am so grateful for that.
As I have said before, God has a child picked out for our family and I can put my hope in Him who's plans and ways are perfect! There is another baby girl who has been offered to our family and we have been encouraged by our family coordinator that she will be ours. I have been so tempted to not send an update until I knew this for sure, but have been convicted that it would not be for the right reasons. This journey has been very hard and it is hard to say the same thing over and over again to only say "that child was not ours". So I am acknowledging to you that I may say that again, but have great hope that "this is finally it!!"
We have many reasons to think this baby is our little girl. And Lord willing, we will buying our tickets at the end of this month to be flying to Moscow on July 15th. This will be our first visit which should last around a week and then we will be going back around October to bring her home.
Continue to pray for our hearts to trust in Gods sovereignty.
