UPDATE!!! 1 step forward!


We had a meeting w/ our DHS Adoption Specialist last night.  We received an invitation via mail for this meeting.  We weren't the only ones that were sent an invitation - there was a mass of people there.  Standing room only.  The question was brought up more than once why she wasn't returning phone calls or emails.  (We were relieved we weren't the only ones struggling w/ lack of communication from her!)
Her reason:  She is the ONLY Cleveland County Adoption Specialist that works w/ the parents.  There's another lady that handles all the Cleveland Co. kids that are up for adoption.  This alone explains A LOT about the lack of communication.
Please pray for her.  

Matt & I were able to speak privately with her.  We asked when we should expect to be open for Adoption.  She said "as soon as the Home Study Reader gets back with her".  We were told by a friend that should only take a couple of days.  Due to her workload, we're graciously waiting a few weeks before giving her another call & email.

However, it does seem like things are moving along now.  

The Lord keeps reminding us that these things are happening in HIS timing, not DHS.  His timing is a little unbearable at times,  but that may just be the drama queen that sometimes sneaks out in me but we are once again strengthened by hearing it could be soon!


Isaiah 30:18 Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!
Thanks for the continued prayers friends!
Love ya'll,
Mary
