We Need Your Prayers

Oh the challenges and injustices I feel right now.

We got a call yesterday from our Social Worker stating that she had received our ICPC packet last Thur. from James Graves and just opened it yesterday. This is after we had called her 3 times last week. She said that they had sent a 6 inch packet of papers that she wouldn't be able to go through until next week. She also stated that they were asking for items she had gathered this summer. This goes to show that our US system needs help!!! There are children who will never get adopted because of this bureaucracy. I know that for a fact form the differnt adoption loops I am on. There are children that will grow up in the system and never have a place to call home or people to call their family. God created, The Family. It is not good for children not to have parents. A Mommy and Daddy to love them. The more I read the more I learn that children can not grow to their fullest potential spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally without parents... without a family. They most likely end up back in the system whether incarcerated or in the Welfare system and repeat the cycle. Pray that the bureaucratic red tape of our system does not continue to keep families hostages. Pray that our social worker can focus on this case. Pray for the children's emotional state. They are all having a hard time waiting. Jayson said he saw an airplane the other day and thought it was us. Alyssa said on Christmas day that she was meeting her new family the next day because she took it literally that it was most likely we would be there after Christmas. We will be sending them a video of us now and Burt and I are in prayer weather I should go in the next week to visit with the children. We want to be in Gods will. Thank you for your prayers.
