With God ALL things are possible!

Over the past two and a half years, Matthew 19:26 has been our life verse and a source of certain hope and strength. Every now and again God reminds us of just how true it is! Our God is awesome; He can and does move mountains!

I haven't had a chance to post since our May return (waiting on all the photos...Awesome trip!) or the exciting news since then that C's birth father went to PAP to sign off on the adoption, but we got news tonight that I just can't hold back! I'm bursting at the seams to praise God for His love and mercy! Here goes...

WE GOT DISPENSATION!!!!!!!

What is dispensation, you might ask?  President Martelli (president of Haiti) has reviewed our case and signed off that we may precede with adopting our girl!  If this didn't sound like a big deal, put simply Haiti-like every country-has a set of laws that define WHO is allowed to adopt their children...we didn't meet...ANY of these criteria. Missing one of the criteria requires a presidential dispensation...not meeting ANY of them is even scarier. However, MY GOD who brought this child into my heart and life is faithfully and mercifully moving mountains to bring this child into our home! And so...WE PRAISE HIM!

GOD IS GOOD!!!!!!!

What next? We have to continue to wait for our paperwork to flow through the various courts of Haiti, collecting the necessary signatures, then we head to Haiti to finalize our adoption, then we wait on the US to approve our adoption, then we being our sweet girl home! Slowly, but surely things are happening, but trust me when I say THIS IS HUGE!

God is working...and so...WE PRAISE HIM!
