Discouraged

Talked with the contact at the agency we are planning on using for our adoption. Walked away from that very short phone call with tears streaming down my face. We were told last week about our eligibility and today I was told something else. Haiti has policies on how old parents must be do adopt and how many children they can have in the home. As of this moment, according to who I talked to today, we do not qualify. Heartbreaking....but not the end. Not by a long shot. We'll wait till were of age if we must or get letters together proving we can provide financially or whatever it may take to bring our son home. What was encouraging last week in terms of time line now has turned into a much longer wait. But all waits come to an end....so there is an end to this story.
We believe very strongly that we serve a sovereign God who trumps governments. If this is His journey for us, then there are more steps to be taken. Now were just praying to know which direction we go from here.

  1. I am so sorry Jess. This road of adoption really teaches us a lot of lessons. Will pray for you guys and that sweet little man!

  2. What!? At least you're not "too old", right? I'm sorry to hear this. Don't get too discouraged though....as you know with adoption, things change daily.
