Blessed Be His Name- We Did Not Pass

God is still faithful, still good, still loving.

We did not pass court again today. Though our paperwork was "perfect" the government agency that approves adoptions did not write our recommendation letter. The process has begun to switch Micah's paperwork to a different orphanage. We are praying that we will get a court date as soon as the paperwork is completed.

Please do not ask questions at this time. We are heartbroken and can't imagine another 8 weeks without our baby. Pray for us, for the paperwork to be completed quickly and for us to receive a court date as soon as possible.

Micah David is the miracle. He should not be alive, he should not be coming home to us. BUT HE IS COMING HOME TO US, in God's perfect and PAINFUL timing.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Kim, I just wanted to let you know that we are grieving with you. I haven't called because I haven't wanted to intrude, but your family (all four of you) are in our prayers. Our God IS faithful, and He IS good. He WILL fulfill the plans He has for Micah David and for the rest of your family.
I love you!

Kulp family,
I just wanted to let you know that you and Micah David are in my heart and thoughts and prayers. We desired a different outcome and it is hard. May God comfort, strengthen and guide you through this season of continued waiting and trusting.
The verse I pray for you: "May the God of hope fill you with joy and strength as you trust in Him so that you may abound in hope by the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 and also "I know the plans that I have for you, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" Jeremiah 29:11.
He is good and faithful and He will do it in His time.

Love and hugs and prayers,
Debi

I am so sorry. This is sad news.

Yours is so NOT a cross I'd want to carry.

I am praying God's mercies over you and your family and that the fullness of His presence minister to your deepest places. I'm praying that the pain of it all not be allowed to consume you and that God will focus your mind & heart steadfastly on Himself even while they're most tempted to wander elsewhere. Asking Him to encourage you today, too.

Dear Kim and Chad - sorry to hear about this. Remember God's hands are infinitely large and his vision sees even the smallest hurts and injustice. Your case is surely before him.
