Mari's Journey home: Adoption

Adoption

Adoption at this point is no longer an option for us. Our paperwork has expired and Guatemala is still closed. Some day we may be able to revisit this path but for now...we will wait.
It's all in God's time.
For now we will enjoy all the blessings he has given us.

Heather (and Vince!) said...: Yes, I am still checking in on this blog too! Wow, what a year! We have been truly blessed with daughters, but there is still the lingering passion for adoption. Who knows where our lives will lead us. You have a beautiful family and I wish you nothing but happiness.; Sunday, August 30, 2009
