Update

Hello, no I have not dropped dead! Alot to share but can't share alot! We have requested our dossiers back from Acres of Hope and are now praying for the direction of the Lord.

In September we found out about a sibling group that was brought into Acres and inquired about them. All through the month of September we were psyched! Wow, maybe these are the ones for our family. Well, then they were taken back to their village because the birth father accused the birth mother of selling the children and had her put in jail! So Acres staff, the Ministry of Health, the police all went to the bush with the children to prove that they weren't sold and to have the mom released from jail.

The birth father didn't want the children adopted, but did not want to take care of them, the birth mom couldn't take care of them. So the children stayed in the village and it would be a miracle if they were brought back!

So now you are up to snuff on our latest adventure in adoption. Acres is saying for us to received twin baby girls under age 2, the referral would take 1-6 months and another 6-12 months before they are home. That's a long time to wait and with the US Embassy policies changing, where Ms. Alma is only seeing one family per day (only on Tuesday and Thursdays), visas will slow down even more.

So we are asking for your prayers about our future. We want clear direction from the Lord, want to be in His will, His timing and His favor. Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, etc.
