This past Thursday was a hard day for me...maybe the hardest in this silly wait. RA's (Referral acceptance) came in for only some families and we did not receive ours. I was beyond excited when I saw that families were getting theirs, and I was waiting patiently (okay...not so patiently) by the phone. Every time it rang I just KNEW it was going to be Lauren from AWAA telling me the good news. But my phone call never came. Today is day 79 waiting for China to tell me that they will allow us to adopt our darling girl. This coming week is a China holiday (??) and the CCAA will be closed. That means that I will have to wait at least another 2 weeks to get my call. When I go to the Lord for comfort, He reminds me, AGAIN, that He is in control of it all. This does give me such sweet comfort. He is so good and so faithful. And He is with my darling girl in China.

Disappointments
Thank you Father for loving her more than even I. Thank you for creating her sweet little body. Thank you for this journey to her. You will be faithful to complete it. In you am I resting.

Great post Mrs. Jenn :)
AMEN to that post title. Thursday was a tough day at our house too. I SO thought we'd be included. I wanted to be excited for everyone else, but I was deeply saddened. I know next month will be OUR MONTH, but is sure is hard to wait!
Laurie (right by you on that list!)
hi, i just found your blog. Congrats on your referral! I had to remind myself many times in the adoption process the same thing...God has it all worked out, and it would all be in His timing!
I hope to come back and see your little ones face soon!!!
Oh Jenn, I was right there where you are and I know you are growing tired of hearing "In His timing", I know I was. But now on the other side, I can see all of the reasons why we waited so long.
I will be praying that your RA comes at the right time, maybe it was sent before their holiday?
Love and hugs~
Oh Jenn. I'm so sorry. I know how hard the LOA wait is. Nothing compares really. I am sorry you have waited so long and now the holiday. It will come soon, but I know does NOTHING to ease the pain. I agree with Denise that you will see on the other side WHY. I absolutely cannot question God's timing b/c He has ordained every detail of her journey home. How can I question that? I know you are not but just know if you are, He understands and will comfort you as only He can.
I'm praying friend that yours IS in the next batch. I promise you the TA wait is easier too. Hang in there! Les
I am so sorry Jenn. I know how hard it is - VERY! We will continue to lift you up to the Lord and ask for His perfect timing to be so evident when the day does come! Love, Cindy
I love your heart. Keep that focus upward on Him - praying for you.....I KNOW how difficult this time can be.
btw - I LOVE the post about your Grandma, she looks so adorable - I want her to be MY Grandma!!!!
Blessings ~
Jenn,
I am praying for you too. And, I am praying like I did for Ruby for a hedge of protection around her, until you can be there with her.
What a celebration that day will be!
Come on RA!! There is a little girl waiting for her Mommy and some new cute MJ clothes!!!
Hugs,
Diana
Praying for you Jenn- I so keep wanting to see your announcement. I pray for your days of waiting to be filled with hope, joy and God's peace. That God will do things great things in you in the wait. Love Jennifer B (AWAA)
