A rough day

Today started off with warm fuzzies. I hope it is okay that I post this, but I'm not mentioning names so I should be okay. ;) There is a couple that got their Embassy appointments. (this is the court date that allows them to bring their child home) Needless to say, this couple was so super happy to finally be able to bring their little one home. However, the mom was supposed to be the Matron of Honor at her sister's wedding. She was going to miss the wedding due to this Embassy appointment. Wow....bittersweet!! For some reason, their Embassy day got changed by one day so that she could be in the wedding and then go and get her munchkin! :)  God moved mountains!! We need to remember that God is bigger than ANY of the things we are facing on this journey. What a great way to start the day. Within 2 hours, I had read an update from the Joint Council. It was a letter written by a lady to President Clinton requesting his help to advocate for these orphans as the adoption program in Ethiopia was brought to a HALT! What/?!?! Did she mean to say that? Did they know more than we did? Oh my!! In a matter of 2 hours I went from feeling good with this mountain that had been moved to this news of the possibility of the Ethiopian program being shut down. Wow! Nothing can explain the emotions we deal with on this journey. The emotions are heightened much more with the uncertainity of the future of our children. We have all heard of numerous countries being shut down to adoptions after "troubles" so this wouldn't surprise me if it did happen. As of now....there are still meetings being held. People are still fighting to get those orphans home to loving families. We hope and pray that things continue to progress forward. This certainly is not easy on the heart strings. Some day we will hold our little one and all of these stresses will melt away. God is bigger than all of this.
