One year later...

So it has been a year since we got the call to come and pick up our little Haddie.  We all know that was a mistake so we don't have her yet but this year has been very difficult.  Difficult not only because we are still minus one important piece to our family, but our life has changed a lot because of my health.  But we are more determined then ever to be able to go and get her.  Here is why:

  • First off we love Haddie even though we haven't met her yet she is our daughter. 
  • Second the only thing holding us back right now is the Indian court system.  All the other important paperwork is signed, done and ready for her to be home.  
  • Third and most important God is bigger and better then any illness out there.  His Will will prevail in this situation.

We recently got a new picture of Haddie from a wonderful Hyderabad mama which showed Haddie blowing a kiss.  This little girl deserves all that God wants to give her.  Yes her mama will have to do things a little differently like laying down a lot, skipping things that involve the heat of the day, taking rests after a full morning of teaching her children; but Haddie will never lack in anything like love, attention, food, education, excitement and a mother that loves her.   

Here is the verse God has been putting on my heart and comforting me with through this season:
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).

Our hope remains strong in someday soon holding our little girl.  And we will in God's time...

    It takes time, after all it's India And the. Hyderabad. We lost a whole year with our daughter due to the legal stupidity of both CARA and the legal system there. It will definitely be worth it when you watch her grow and blossom. God Bless

      Thank you, you are giving us hope. Hyderabad is slow and so behind in their processes. But we will not give up. Bless you. Enjoy those growing years they go fast :-)
