Case Update: Well, for those of you who don't know, we are in contact with our social worker weekly. We are receiving updates, I am just not blogging every detail. As far as where our case is right now... we are a little confused. We are trying to get some clarity and answers. Please PRAY that we we get answers soon. Pray that everyone is working together for the same purpose- TO BRING THIS CHILD HOME! There are days I do not even know if Nathan will come home- that is a REALITY for us. It is painful beyond words! There are other days I believe he will eventually come home. This gets me through, this give me hope. With where our case is going, it could even be another 6 months to a year before he is home- that is hard to swallow. But in the end, he is so WORTH THE WAIT!
Another holiday season is "knocking at our door". I do not want to answer. Can we just go straight to January 1st?? I am trying to be excited about our first Christmas in our new home, but something is missing... it will always be missing until he is here with us forever. I am also trying to focus on what Christmas is really about, and not what it is not. I would love to spend Christmas in Guatemala, but we need more answers before we make that trip again and before we leave him again. I need to know he IS coming home before I hand him back over for the THIRD time.
I know all of you who are following our journey are praying. THANK YOU. Please continue to pray. Pray that we can get direction and clarity in our case. Pray that all involved will be on the "same page". Pray for our Lawyer and his workers- pray that they do their very best in representing Nathan and us. Also pray for our sweet boy. He is growing, growing, growing. He is being taken care of so well! We are so thankful. Pray that God continues to prepare his heart for the day that he finally comes home.
Thank you for hanging in there with us on this nearly two year journey... we never dreamed we would still be here. God knew. God is here with us. He is the only way we are still here. He knows all.

He is BEAUTIFUL(oops Handsome) and definitely worth the wait. Hoping you hear good news soon. Wishing you well through this difficult time. May you be wrapped in the arms of the Holy Spirit and comforted while you wait. I will keep praying for you all.
Praying for your family, seem like empty words but we do hurt for you as you wait. It is our prayer that you feel closer to the Lord while you go through this difficult time than you have ever felt before.
Definitely praying for you. Please do the same for us. PGN is sitting on our file along with two others. Nothing wrong with them, just holding them according to our attorney. We know the Lord holds all things in His Hands. We will pray that he will direct all those handling these children's future days to move their cases along so they may be loved by their new families. We've known our girls since they were 2 weeks old and now they are 18 months and almost months. It has definitely been a long journey and I have realized how much my faith has needed to grow. Again, we will continue to pray for you and yours as well.
You are always in our prayers!
praying..... I've commented a couple times before. sorry, i do not have a blog. We spent last Christmas without our precious daughter. she got out of pgn in mid sept, and we got hung up in red tape waiting another 4.5 months. I tried to focus on the true meaning of Christmas (as you said) although my heart ached for her. I am praying God will bring your Nathan home. note sure what your particular situation is but if it involves not having a birthmom interview by the aug 31 deadline, you may want to check out the website eaci.com. they were my agency. click on the guat program and read that page about how they are one of the few agenciesaccredited in guat under the hague law and that they can assist families with issues re no birthmom interviews. just some info for you.

You know that I am praying for you guys everyday!! We loved seeing you last week. I cannot wait until we are past this and Kendall's bro from EN is HOME!! Love you guys!
I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through. I can't begin to think about having child that is not with me all the time. My heart breaks for you daily as I continue to pray with you! Hang in there, he'll be home soon. I love you both and thank you for the blessings you have brought to our family!
No one can know what you are going through.... except the Lord. The Lord who formed and knew you before you took your first breath is the same God who formed and knew Nathan before his first breath. May He draw you so close you cannot escape His presence or the knowledge that He cares passionately about you and your son! Praying for you...
