Our sweet friends, the Baker's have brought their precious girl home.
Gifty is an orphan NO MORE!
It has been a couple weeks now. No doubt, their family is going thru a lot of transitioning, bonding, adjusting, and so on... I have checked on them a couple times, but want to give them the space and time that is oh so needed right now.
The realization of this has been huge in my life. It has given me the little bit of hope that I need at this time.
Our home study is getting close to expiring. I need to get it updated. I have reached out to the social worker and got the appropriate paperwork to move forward. Now...I need the "will-power" to put pen to paper and DO it. I would be lying if I said I am motivated to do so. I am lacking some motivation for sure. Motivation to do all the cumbersome paperwork again. Not lack of motivation to adopt. My heart still yearns to desperately Minus1Orphan.
This past weekend was Orphan Sunday. It was EXACTLY one year ago when we officially kicked off the 'Snodgrass Adoption Campaign' to Minus1Orphan.
Knowing an entire year has passed and yet, we wait. We still wait for that referral. A referral to be matched with a child or child(ren) to be a part of our forever family. I want to ask God that notorious question, the giant elephant in the room, the 'WHY?'. But I don't find myself able to actually ask Him that. In my heart, I know His ways are higher and there is a reason....although I may not understand at this moment in time.
Praying God to give us a referral soon. Would you pray with us?
"I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you." -John 14:18
