We're just past the 11 month mark of waiting for a referral and it looks like it we're going to pass a year.

We got an update from our agency yesterday and my heart sank. We've all been waiting to hear an update and what we heard was...we'll get another update in two months. Another 2 months!!!

I don't know what to say.

I'm feeling frustrated, sad, angry and weary. I don't understand.

All these families waiting. All the children waiting. My heart is breaking for them.

I'm out of words.

"The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit."
~ Psalm 34:17-18

  2. I am so sorry as well. Waiting is hard enough as it is, but waiting while a program is delayed is heart-breaking. Know that we are thinking of you and praying for you and the program as well.

  5. Oh Heidi,I feel the same way. The not knowing is the worst. Know that you are not alone in this! Our children will come home.

    Hugs to you, anytime you need to chat....

  6. Oooh this is not the news I was hoping to hear for this program. My heart breaks for those waiting, both children waiting for families and the families waiting for their children. Our prayers are with you all!
