Paper Work Denied

This title sounds harsh but is not inevitable. Yes, on Oct. 8th we got a call from out social worker stating that the State of GA denied the paper work for the adoption of our children. At that moment I was devastated. But with many phone calls and clarifications we know that our homestudy did not reflect the matching of us to these children. Our social worker is now in the process of ammending it. The State of Washington also has to redo stuff and we too have to redo some papers because on Oct. 11 some of our homestudy expired. Soooo for the last couple of weeks we have been working diligently on all this. A blessing we found is that our papers made it through GA in record time. We just have to do it again!! We feel that there is a reason Burt and I have to learn about domestic adoption between states. God has a plan and we are to trust in Him in all things. Even this. On a brighter note we are talking to the children and developing a relationship with them on the phone. Also I am sending soft fleece blankets to each of them so that they can start snuggling with their new blankies before they bring them back home. This is for familiarity and security.
Also many of you may already know that Sammy will not be coming with us at this time. He is still working on many issues and needs the support of a well trained staff. Also the State of GA will not let him relocate until he reaches some goals. Please keep him in your prayers.
