Waiting

It seems like all we do is wait. Today is Valentines day and I want to give our new child a great big hug and kiss and can't yet. We are hearning of delays at the Kazakh embassy and just become disheartened when things aren't seeming to work out for us. We will continue to pray and hope for God to bless us with children. We pray that this dossier will go through smoothly and we will be united with our Kazakhstani child soon. We will be positive and continue working on our dossier in good faith. Please keep us in your prayers.
