After much deliberation and seeking God's direction and with almost 12 months of waiting in a "stuck" program, we are switching foreign adoption agencies. We thought this meant also changing B.C. Agencies, but God totally worked that one out and we can stay with Choices. (In B.C. you need a local agency as well as a foreign agency) It was a tough decision to change foreign agencies as there are many "losses" to consider. But our God is bigger than life so it's not a big deal for Him to work out every little detail (and there's alot right now!). We're praying for faith like George Muller's.
We are told it will only take 1 - 4 months for a referral (matched with children). This new foreign agency works with several orphanages in different provinces within the DRC so it only makes sense for us to work with an agency that has more children than parents. There's no shortage of orphans in the Democratic Republic of Congo. How does the number 5 Million make you feel?
Please pray with and for us. The enemy will be defeated and God will reign victorious.
Stacks of paperwork all had to be done again! This means many more trips to the notary. Waal & Co. has done ALL our notary work for FREE for adoptions. How cool is that? We are so grateful!
