Waiting...





Case Update: "They are still waiting on the birth certificate from Mixco. They hope to get it this week.”

PGN is not allowing any cases that are KO to be resubmitted right now. The lawyer for EN is planning to register all his cases with the new Central Authority on Wednesday (January 16, 2008). Please pray with us that all goes well and that the Central Authority is ready to work on Wednesday.

Pray that the birth certificate is ready this week so once we are registered we can be back in PGN so we can 'get this ball rolling again'.

Waiting is not getting any easier. Nathan is getting bigger. Time is going slower. I am getting tired. I miss my baby. I just pray that I will continue to allow God to teach me and show me His plans and purposes in the midst of this journey.

Thank you for all the love, support and prayers for us and our baby boy. We could not do this with out all of you by our sides. I can not wait to share with Nathan one day all the people who helped pray him home! Thank you!


Nathan, we love you and long for the day to hold you again in our arms. I pray it is a short time away. Sweet dreams baby boy.
Love,
Mommy

We are also praying for you both and especially for Nathan. You are always in our hearts and in our prayers. We Love you all three.

I am praying that you get that birth certificate this week and can get resubmitted. Hang in there and know that you are not alone in this! We WILL have our babies home and we are going to have an awesome story to tell them about how God brought them to us.

Love you girl! If you need to talk, I am here for you!

We are so sorry for this wait and can only imagine your heartache. We continue to pray to our our Heavenly Father - and Nathan's Heavenly Father - petitioning Him for Nathan's quick homecoming. We love you and are here waiting with you - along side you - with hopeful and joyful hearts knowing that you will hold that precious son soon. What an amazing story you will have to tell. With all our love, s, s, c & m (and j)

I just know that we will see that sweet baby soon. My prayer is that the time passes quickly and that you both have peace in your hearts till you hold that sweet boy in your arms again. It was one of the greatest moments in my life when I saw them place Nathan in your arms, and I know it will be even a greater moment when I know that he will be in your arms forever. Nathan is always in my heart and prayers along with all the sweet little babies at EN. Love you all, Mom

Casey and Stephanie,
I have really enjoyed reading your blog...what a journey. I can relate. I hope to hear soon that Central Authority is doing it's thing, whatever that may be, and Nathan is home soon. My wife and I went to visit EN in December and I definitely remember him and his curly hair. There were only a few with hair like his. God Bless you both and all the fellow EN'ers and others in Guatemala.
Check our our "journey" at www.jeffpope.net with a link to our blog and other "stuff". Take care.

We pray that God directs all of the people involved in helping to bring your son home, especially the ones working with the Birth Certificate.

From someone who's done some waiting of our own, I'm still praying for you and thinking of you.
