We received our referral for Micah 6 months ago.
It's official, we've set the record for longest time between referral and passing court/travel.
No medals, please.
No reminders of this record necessary, it's seared into our hearts.
What we have: hundreds of pictures, countless updates from our agency, 1 updated homestudy, 1 updated 797-C, 2 unsuccessful court dates, 1 looming court date that could be successful or unsuccessful, hundreds of people praying, newborn clothing that needs a good home, matching Christmas, Valentines, Easter shirts that will go unworn, an empty crib, an empty bouncy seat, empty arms, bad sinus infections, double ear infections, broken washer, toilet, doors, hearts, a God who promises good if we follow Him, no idea where we're going...
What we don't have...Micah.
We believe the Lord is on our side and that we will be victorious, someday...Hopefully April 1st.

Hi sweet Kim,
I am praying, praying, praying and believing God with you for God's glory to be revealed on April 1. God is on your side and loves you and little Micah David.
Love and hugs and prayers,
Debi
Kim;
Your family--including Micah--are often on my heart. As I continue to lift you all up in prayer, I trust that God's deliverance will be the eventual answer. I extend myself to you in your grief at these delays, grieving with you. May April 1 be a day when we can rejoice together!
when i saw your court date as april first (april fool's day) it made me think of sarah and abraham. sarah named her son "isaac" (laughter)..maybe because of the joy he brought, maybe because of her own laughter at God's promise, maybe because people would laugh at an old lady having a baby? I expect much laughter and joy april first for you, friend! people will be shocked and amazed...and happy! Praying. Praying. Praying.
