After speaking to someone from the agency she expressed that we could call back in 6 months to see how we were doing with our domestic adoption. If we are close to finalizing our adoption with the three boys then we might be able to update a few documents and resubmit our dossier to Rwanda when the adoption is complete.
I can live with this answer. We don't have to throw it all away or start all over again. Some of the fees can be credited to us in the future and some of the documents can be updated for free. Again, man plans his way, but God directs our steps. I see God working in ever detail of this whole situation and am so thankful for His protective hand. Not only do we get to adopt these three brothers, but now we have more time before we have to go to Rwanda, Lord willing!
My heart breaks for these children in Rwanda who we have prayed for for over a year, but they are in God's hands and if they are supposed to be here then He will see it through. Just think, if we had known about this policy we would not have taken the boys and would have missed out on this wonderful blessing. I can rest in the fact that God knows all things and is in control of our lives for His glory.
Love, Jessica

ReplyDeleteGod holds them where they are too. Blessings to you Jessica! Jim and Brooke loved seeing you guys and meeting those sweet boys. They just loved them! I wish more than anything Hailey, Jordan and I could have been there too!
ReplyDeleteSo comforting to know that God chose your children before the foundation of the world!!! We love you ALL and hold you very close to our hearts. Love the Maj's.
ReplyDeleteWow! I had no idea that you were adopting 3 domestically. The last I checked you blog was after your comment on ours about wondering if you could foster while waiting for approval! What a lot has happened! I am so excited for you and pray that God will lead with you Rwandan adoption.
ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteYour willingness to submit to God's plan and lay down your own glorifies him. I am encouraged through your testimony. Run your race with perseverance!
