well, 2 of my friends have just delivered healthy babies, and two more are pregnant with their second. We tell people of our paper pregnancy, but it's a shame it doesn't get a bigger excitment level than if we told them I was pregnant again. I think adoption is still a little misunderstood. People seem happy for you but immediatly ask "why" and "where" and kinda think we're crazy. more like off the rocker, a screw loose, few cards short of a deck... no one asked "why" or "how" or thought we were crazy when we were pregnant with our perfect little girl. Still, we wait. Still, we follow God's call. I know when we hold this child in our arms we will know we're doing the right thing, making the right choice, and follwing the right trail, even if it is the one less traveled.
So, wait we will. Our friend Tina who adopted a son from Rwanda as been sending us updates on paperwork and we have contacted the embassy to make sure we're doing the right things with our paperwork, just waiting on a reply from them.
We are waiting 4 weeks on saturday for USCIS approval.

My husband and I are adopting from Rwanda too and WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR YOU (even though we don't know you)!!! Adoption is one of the most amazing pictures of redemption and God's love we get to see this side of heaven:) May HE continue to take care of all your needs as you trust in Him during this journey. Tina is helping us too- perhaps one day we can all meet!
I found your blog because of that wonderful Dorband Family... I think people don't realize the grandness of what you are doing!!
what a blessing you are and are about to receive!!
