I do want to thank all of you, those I know and those I don't, who have prayed and who are continuing to pray for my family. You will never know how much it means to us. Please continue to pray for our case as we wait for a ruling. Only God knows the outcome and we continue to trust Him.
To my EN friends: I also want to tell those who are home with your children... Congratulations and I pray many blessings on you and your special family. Thank you for your support, prayers, pictures and love you have given to Nathan on your trips to EN. You will never know the blessing you have been in our lives!
Nathan, We love you and miss you more than words can say. Praying....
Until....

Stephanie,
I have followed your blog for over a year (I am a friend of Jennifer Wilkens') and have been blessed by the love you have for your Son and for THE Son, our Heavenly Father's. I will continue to stop by to look at that beautiful boy of yours and will continue to pray for you until he is home in your arms.

Keep your spirits up and we will continue lifting them up in prayer.
I am praying for you guys! I pray that you will be back up and blogging with wonderful news very soon! Please let me know if there is ANYTHING that we can do! We love you guys and love precious Nathan. I pray for him EVERYDAY!!!
Stephanie, Just the break from your blog chokes me up. I can only imagine the sadness that you are experiencing in this wait. We will continue to pray daily for definite good news on your case and for precious Nathan. Please know that while your heart breaks to hold him, our Heavenly Father is holding him close.
Praying for your family.

PS I'll be checking for news.
We love you my precious friend. We will not take a break from our prayers for your sweet son and hope that he's home soon. You are a wonderful example of endurance, perseverance and how each of us should trust the Lord despite the resistance from our flesh. You are beautiful on the inside and out and I'm lucky to be your buddy.
I hope and pray that there is good news on here soon. I get the deep pain of the wait and not knowing. There were times during our year long process when we truly did not know when or if Zoe would ever get to come home. Each week seems like a month... It was heart breaking. I am so sorry you are walking this painful road. I can tell you the journey to Zoe taught me more than I have ever learned in my life. It changed me forever. I never wanted to learn those lessons but I can now say I am glad I did. I wish I could hug you... I wish I could make him be home.. Hugs, Angel
I've been reading your blog for quite some time. I am a friend of Brian Davis' sister and found your blog through their blog. I pray for you and check on your progress continually. I to have fought the battle of infertility and walked the road of adoption, it has not worked out for us at this point, but like you we shall never give up. God is faithful and His Word is true, so keep your head up, keep hope alive, I will continue to pray for you and check this site expecting great news soon that your son is coming home. Our church just became invovled with an orpahanage in Guatemala and my heart longs to go and bring one of those little girls home, but not unless God says go, especially after keeping up with your path to your son. It will be worth it, but I know it has not been easy. I know you don't know me, but my heart is hooked up with yours because I've walked in your shoes to some degree. If you ever need somebody to talk to pray with that isn't to close where you can just be totally open and honest about where you are, feel free to contact me through my blog and I'll be more than willing. I've prayed many times through my 16 years walk thru infertility that if nothing else good came from it, that I would be a light in the darkness for somebody else walking the same path.
I've rambled enough, didn't mean to write a book, but wanted to assure you that I'm praying and thinking of you, your husband and that sweet little face of your son.

Stephanie and Casey,
We are praying for you and for Nathan. May the Lord be your ever present help in this time of trouble. I pray that your faith would grow to even greater depths during this time, and may you see all things coming from the hand of a merciful and good and sovereign God. I have tasted your pain, although I know it is not to the same level as you are most certainly feeling right now. My heart is breaking for you.
Romans 8
I have enjoyed keeping up with your journey and I pray that the Lord will see what is best for you and your husband. We had a message last Sunday at church based on Gen 22 and it talked about how all the AND's you are facing will take you to the next AND in your life and that we must be faithful in each AND we face. As we walk up the mountain God is always working on the otherside of the mountain even though we may not see it. Just by reading your blog I know y'all have been through alot and I can't say I can even begin to understand...I was blessed with a precious little boy but at 4 months his daddy decided to leave and remarry. It is sometimes hard to understand God's way but he is the only one that we can trust to see us through these very difficult times.
Jehovahjireh means God will see and provide!!!
I know that "for this child you have prayed." God know too.
We are praying for you, Casey and little Nathan. We love you guys and miss you lots!
Looking forward to the day when you 3 come and visit us on this side of the world!
Love you lots!!
Karrie and the rest
I know you have had to take a step back to take all of this in but please know that we check on you daily hoping for good news. You are wrapped in prayers and so is little Nathan. In HIS time it will come.
Stephanie,
I woke up tonight (I believe the holy spirit woke me up to pray for you) to intercede for you. I'm praying that you'll find new mercies in the morning. I'm thanking God that tomorrow's manna will be enough to fill you up. Also praying Habakkuk 2:1-4. To us, the promise tarries. But in His appointed time, it does NOT delay. Praying also for Nathan's caretakers, for their salvation, and for our Father's supernatural love to flow through them to your little one.
