Need A Little Sunshine

This morning I sit here wondering exactly how to start. Imagine, me, temporarily at a loss for words? I began the previous post to boost the spirits of my friends out there that are also waiting and to spread the love. Today, I find myself needing a huge dose of it myself. So this will be a rather sappy post in contrast to yesterdays...

We spoke with Wacap yesterday. She talked to the social worker. We are somehow not up yet and will not be presented at the next board meeting. I can't believe it. There are still 5 cases ahead of us - as they also said last month. Yet in November we were "next". Thailand seems to be in complete stall mode right now and no one seems to know why. Instead of saying we really should be getting our referral since our dossier has been in for 8 months, Wacap is now saying they have no idea. The wait time from Wacap (after dossier to getting referral) was 2-10 months and now it is 4-12. We are confused and frustrated. We know everything happens for a reason, but to still not know anything is really hard. To realize now that not only are we not getting the referral again this month but it may not be next month either....it's tough to swallow. We thought we were so close....So yesterday was a very difficult day. I couldn't even find the words to post.

But today is another day. I need me some good group vibes so let's start sending out the love, okay? 12 noon today (whatever that time is where you live) let's say a special prayer...

For all of the many orphans worldwide to find their forever families.

For paperwork in Thailand to start moving.

For all the wonderful friends in our circle that are waiting right now to finally get their good news to have strength and patience while waiting. And for their good news to come soon!

For everyone waiting for their children that we don't know.

For our beautiful children to find their way home as soon as humanly possibly.

For those that have their new children home to have a smooth transition and a wonderful bonding experience with them.

And a huge thank you for all of those that already have their beautiful children home.

And today my own personal prayer to add to that will start something like this...

God watch over our beautiful little Ruby!

Keep her safe from harm and let her be loved by someone there. A hug, a kiss, some extra attention of any kind. We are so grateful that there is a kind student that she feels close to!

Thank you for her beautiful life. That we should be so lucky to be her parents.

I know you will send her into our arms at the right time. Please keep me strong and 

let me be an inspiration to others during the wait. As all of my dear friends have been to me.

Let me grow and learn more so that I can be everything my daughter needs and please let us get over their soon. Her precious heart needs mom and dad. And we need her.

Thank you everyone for your continued kindness, friendship, and for joining our prayer!

Peace & Love,

Jen
