We were hoping to be in Uganda about now, but we are still waiting. Long story short, we are waiting for a paperwork issue to be cleared up on the Ugandan side of things that we expect will take another couple of weeks. After the paperwork is cleared, we can finally file for court and hopefully be on an airplane to Uganda within a month or so of filing.
It is so hard to wait and frustrating to have delay after delay - there has been a delay in literally EVERY single step of our adoption process thus far! It has been a challenging lesson in trusting in God's sovereignty and believing that He has the perfect time chosen for our little boy to come home. I keep reminding myself that God created our little boy and loves him even more than we do . . . but it is so hard to be patient when your son is on the other side of the world and you can't get to him!
We found out recently that Malachi is younger than we originally were told. We were told back in October that they thought he was born in February, but the date they ended up estimating for him and putting on his birth certificate is in April! So Lord willing, we will get to celebrate his 1st birthday with him either in Uganda or back home!:)
Please be praying (a)for the paperwork issue to be cleared up so that we can file for court, and (b)that we will be issued a court date very quickly once we are filed!

Praying for you all! That will be so sweet to welcome Malachi home as well as celebrate his 1st birthday!
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for Malachi as often as I can. So glad you are persevering in what you feel you are called to- as often it's easy to get discouraged when things don't come along as planned.
ReplyDeleteWould love to get together for another zoo date and prayer anytime!
