I just don&#39;t get why anyone would think it is better a child to be in an orphanage as opposed to caring, loving, parents. <br />I pray for patience and peace through the process for you.<br />good luck!Carriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08533846030170827115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937909430486509189.post-73295181064625299922009-07-06T21:46:23.902-05:002009-07-06T21:46:23.902-05:00Oh April, how I know this time you are going through so well. I was the exact same way, I would get everything done, right away, overnight anything possible, etc. Then the times came when there was simply nothing more I could do but wait. And is was so very hard. We waited over 5 months to bring Matthew home after his referral, and I thought that was bad... we waited 7 months to bring Marli home. I still at times wonder why God allowed Marli to stay under the circumstances she was in so long, but He works according to His time and for His purpose. During both their waits, I spent most of my time in constant prayer, many times lying prone on the floor, pleading. He heard me, just as He always had and always does, but He still chose to make me wait. I think He was trying to really make me learn patience, because Marli really required a lot of it !!!!<br /><br />You have such an incredible faith, you hold onto that faith and onto Him, the One who will bring Harrison home. When I realized with Marli there was nothing more I could do to bring her home quicker, I made many wallet size photos of her, and I gave them out to everybody at church willing to pray for her. I would hear from so many people saying I have her picture on my fridge and I pray for her to come home everytime I go by my fridge. Just an idea, I am like you in that I had to be doing something !!!<br /><br />Sorry so long!!!<br /><br />You all are in my prayers,<br />GenevaGenevahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07270898237585034034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937909430486509189.post-35127678929684185212009-07-06T20:42:09.884-05:002009-07-06T20:42:09.884-05:00Cling to that verse, April...not only for Harrison, but for yourself. God does not want to harm you in this process. He knows the perfect time to bring Harrison home!M and Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13586849960938821331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4937909430486509189.post-70421748918508057072009-07-06T20:40:03.652-05:002009-07-06T20:40:03.652-05:00I know that this is truly the hardest part...especially when everything that needs to be done is beyond your control.
