Referral!

Well….It’s been just a little while since our last post (only about four and a half years, but who’s counting).  During that time, we have experienced one huge roller coaster of emotions, but we have finally arrived at number ZERO!!!  On September 26, we received a referral of a child from Honduras.  We accepted it the next day and are waiting to hear back from our agency on when we will travel to Honduras to meet our child!  It’s surreal to be able to say that, but we are so thankful that God has brought to this point and know he will continue to be faithful to see this adoption through.  We would like to thank everyone for praying over our family and we ask for your continued prayers over the next several months.  

The first trip will consist of intense and lengthy interviews with the Honduran governmental body that is facilitating the adoption, but, more importantly, it will also be a time of visits with our child!

After spending about a week in Honduras, we will have to come home for a few months while paperwork is being processed.  During this time, there will be a court hearing in our absence that will declare the child ours.  We will be informed of when that happens, and at that point we will be able to release all of the information about our child.  Until then we have to keep the details to ourselves due to legal reasons.  We can’t wait to reveal everything to you all!  We’re so excited!  God truly is a good good Father and His timing is always perfect!  In a few months after our first trip, we will travel back to Honduras to complete the adoption and bring home our little blessing!

To give you a snapshot of how the last four and a half years progressed, we will list all of our waiting list numbers along with the dates that we received them.  There were times when we regularly received a new number on the waiting list; and then there were long periods of time in which we didn’t hear anything.
