You are the helper of the fatherless. LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more. Psalms 10:14,17-18

Wonderful news!!

We have been well on our way with our adoption.  We began searching for a special little guy in September 2011 and we found him on Reece's Rainbow.  Everything seemed to be progressing right along.  Although there are ALWAYS speed bumps, mountain tops and valleys along the way.  We had recently ran into a "glitch" in our progress.  Needless to say our dossier caseworker was a bit apprehensive about how successful our adoption was going to be. 
Our future son's country is pretty strict on their requirements and eligibility guidelines.  We knew this going into this process but have felt completely at peace with this situation the whole time.  That was until our caseworker was now trying to dot the "i's" and cross the "t's" after five months into the journey.  Some parts of our dossier were now in question as to what our future son's country's government was going to say about certain requirements being met or not.  If they said that our "evidence" in our dossier did not comply with their guidelines then we would no longer be allowed to pursue this adoption and not in this particular country. 
To those who know us personally, you know that we are very passionate about adoption.  Adoption literally defines our family.  Duffy and I have six children.  His', hers' and theirs'.  All of our kiddos are adopted.  Due to infertility issues I  began on this journey a very long time ago. Almost 24 years actually.  We truly believe that God has had us on this path long before we knew it.  He is just like that.  Always one step ahead of us.
So we have been waiting for a couple of weeks now for a few details to be ironed out.  The call came this morning around 10am.  Our future son's government gave us the green light to continue on and complete our adoption of Silas!!!!!
We are ecstatic!!  How amazing our Father is.  We are truly blessed!
