It will probably be weeks, if not a month before we have another real adoption update. Yesterday, Moses and Samuel’s birth parents traveled all the way to Monrovia from Nimba county for today’s DNA testing appt. Once they arrived at the clinic they were told that the samples could not be taken because they didn’t have birth certificates. So now they are applying for those, and once they have them, the samples will be taken. It really makes me mad that they made that trip and no one was notified in advance of what the requirements would be. So anyway, this is our current delay
And yes, I am still smiling (despite the fact that I rear ended a huge Toyota Tundra today and really messed up the front end of our van-I did cry a little about that-at least I didn’t leave a mark on that huge truck!). I figured there would need to be another delay or so in order for Beatrix to be born before the boys come home.
Adoption non-update
October 6, 2008

















Oh no. I am so sorry. Adoption is so hard. And car accidents suck. I would cry too.
Oh, Ginny, I am so sorry to hear this news. I am clinging to the truth that God is never a day late. That He is always on time. Praying still…
Wow. I am just impressed that those parents are as diligent as they are. I can see why they might want to give up on it all….what is the benefit to them? Just seeing the children adopted?
Those endless delays really stink. I think of you and your family everyday and pray that you get those boys of yours home soon. As hard as it is, it will all be worth it when they are tucked in under your roof. Hang in there!
! Im glad you are ok…! let me know if you need anything.
Oh Dear…How far did they have to travel? They must really love those boys to go to so much hardship to make sure that they have a good life. Are you feeling any better? Sorry about the accident. That stinks, did you have the kids with you?
I feel the anticipation every time I wait for your blog to load up…will this be the day?I can only IMAGINE how hard it is for you, how frustrating on a day like today.On another topic, the blog face is beautiful!Praying….
How frustrating for those birth parents! Sorry about the fender-bender. I'm glad you are OK.
