Update...

Well, it has been a busy long week and I am ready for Friday. I have been working a lot this week and now I am physically and emotionally exhausted.

We got lots of new pictures of Nathan and also got a case update this week. First the pics and health update: He now weighs in at a whopping 23.13lbs and is now 28,.5" tall. WHAT in the world are they feeding him?????? HE is HUGE!!! But I am very thankful he is healthy, other than he does have a cold and cough currently and is on medication. They said he is crying a lot and wants to be held. That breaks my heart!!!! It just makes the waiting even harder knowing that I am not there to comfort him when he does not feel good. I pray he is well soon.

As far as the case update, we did not receive much info and not much has happened. As a matter of fact nothing has happened. We are still waiting on favor to get the new birth certificate. Let me just say, the whole rectified birth certificate process is beyond frustrating!!! Those of you who have been through it or know some one who has know what I am talking about. It is pointless!! We have wasted so much time. April 17th will be 4 MONTHS since out KO for an error with the birth certificate and we have been trying to correct it and get back in ever since. God Help Us!
Please pray that we will get things going again and fast! Our baby boy needs to come home!! He needs us and we need him!

God is good all the time...
It's EATIN TIME!!

OH Stephanie! He is just beautiful! I think that they must be at that stage that they have learned that if they cry, they will get attention! They said that Kendall is crying a lot now too and like to be held.

Praying for you girl!!

Stepping up my prayers a notch for your BC difficulties and for your hearts as I am sure you long to have your son home.

You are right-God is good all the time, but waiting is still hard. Praying the Lord used this time in each of our lives to draw us closer to Him.

That is the most beautiful baby boy that I have ever seen. It does break my heart to hear that he is sick and I know that if he had his mother it would be such a comfort for both him and his mother. I love all three of you and pray daily for Nathan and for a quick resolution and that he will be home soon. I also pray for your peace and understanding, just know that you and Nathan are loved with all my heart and that God is watching over both of you, that's all that is keeping me sane through this process. Love you, Mom

I just feel sick inside for you! SO sorry the BC is taking so long! We have friends here in town that adopted a 7yr. old girl from EN(she had just turned 5 when they started the adoption process). They FINALLY brought her home last fall but hers was a birth certificate problem too. Not sure if it's the same exact thing... but if you'd like, send me an email and I'll get their contact info to you. They are an AWESOME godly family. They would bend over backwards to give encouragement or any help/advice they can offer : )

Praying resubmission to PGN happens quickly! Praying for you and your sweet boy!

He is so beautiful, even when he is crying !!! I just believe with all my heart that he will be home soon! Still praying everyday for you all. (((HUGS)))

He is crazy cute! Nathan's rolls look so squeezable. :)

My heart is burdened for your family. Praying that BC is cleared up sooner than you could hope. This is so hard, but you are being carried by quite the army of prayer warriors! God will redeem this "wasted time" for you and Nathan.
