We have a specific prayer request for those of you who are following our story. There is a new regulation that has gone into effect that would require us to stay in Ukraine for an additional 8 weeks with the boys. That is in addition to the estimated 6 - 8 weeks to complete the adoption. While that is not an earth shattering development, it would mean Jocelyn and Ellie would need to go with us as we can not be away from them that long and that we would have many additional costs. Passports for the girls, airline tickets for the girls, and an apartment for 2 additional months. These are just the things we have thought of so far...I am sure there are many others. Scott would obviously have to come home and work so it would mean I would be in a foreign country with four children, two of whom do not speak English. To say that is overwhelming to think about for me is an understatement. So I would really, really appreciate your prayers that we manage through this development or that the rules change. We know God is in control and that it will all work out. He has provided so far and will continue to provide, we are confident.
On a positive note, our dossier was successfully submitted to the SDA today. They will take about 20 days to process it and get us our appointment date.
My verse for this week:
Cease striving and know that I am God;
Psalm 46:10a

Oh no! Praying HARD that everything works out with this new turn of events. I would feel overwhelmed by that too. :-(
Praying, praying, praying! I've been thinking a lot about V this week as a new group of host kiddos gets here and he is not among them. Did a post about that today. May God give you direction as you try to process this latest development, and may He provide perfect peace and a perfect answer for your family.
