Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

If you pray…

August19

If you are a prayer, please send prayers for those in Guatemala fostering their children and for the babies at CQ which was raided last week. If you aren’t someone who prays, send some positive, hopeful thoughts their way. This is a scary time for those adopting from Guatemala. I hope things calm down after the elections next month. I am worried for my friends in Antigua. I am thankful that it isn’t us but feel guilty that Cheri and Erin and many others are still there. I can’t imagine how lonely and scary Antigua would be under the current circumstances.

    That would have been the best story *ever*! Keep that phone handy though — hopefully Traci wasn’t just doing damage control tonight dropping hints at us and we’ll soon see a shower of girls.

    I second what Cathy said. I have nothing other to do than have faith at this point! I really hope we all get the call soon. Today or tomorrow would be nice!!!!

    Michelle, I can’t imagine the wait you are going through. But I am saying prayers for you and in the end it will seem like a short time once you have your little girl! These past two years with Josie have flown by so fast, I hardly can even remember her being a baby!

    I hope you have a good birthday!

    Love,
    Beckie

    That would have been a story indeed! Keep that phone near – it WILL ring. When you least expect it.

    Love you, thinking of you, and praying for your (and mine for you) greatest wish to come true today! Happy Birthday, Michelle!!! Love – Deanna
    PS – I’ve got good things for you!!! Please call me tonight and we’ll talk a long time (if you and THE MAN aren’t going out, which I assume you are, so call whenever you need)

    Today, at church, we submitted a prayer for the babies who were taken from the orphanage in GC. We continue to pray for all of the families trying to get their babies home…this is all so confusing…

    I can’t imagine what it is like to be down there right now! I pray for them daily, guess I’ll have to put an extra one in.

    I have been following this through a couple of other blogs. Now for them to be “trapped” and not be able to go out and about. We all know that babies like a change of scenery. Not to mention Moms.

    Let’s pray this is over soon and they are all home with us in the US!

    I’ve been praying for days. I’m just sick about everything going on.
