Defeat is what I'm feeling. For every step we take forward in our adoption journey to Ruslana, I feel like we take 2 back. She should be home already, and she's not. PRAYING we can submit the last few documents this Friday.
I'll share more later...right now I'm just too tired.
In Him,

God is working behind the scenes, and I'm still praying everyday for several little ones to come home...including Ruslana!
I remember that feeling so much from our first adoption. Turn to the Father, and draw close to Him. Let Him wrap His arms of love around Him. May He cover you with peace and patience, and may you feel renewed in His presence.
I continue to pray for your family, and for precious Ruslana.

Praying for you and Ruslana. You are so close to having her in your arms, don't give up!
Right there with you, my dearest friend.
Praying, too.
I know how you are feeling right now. We were supposse to be there 6 months ago. I believe our adoption has taken longer than anyones!!
No matter what though we always have to remember that there is a reason why, even if we dont ever know what it is. Its all in Gods time!! We are praying for you guys, Always, Leah
~~Big Hugs~~ Praying for you guys!
Praying for your Ruslana!
Just want you to know you arent alone. We too have been yanked around by the red tape of International adoption. Im so glad to have found your blog so I can encourage you and find encouragement for myself.

Your ride has been a bumpy one- just go with this bump as well- it will pass.
Praying.
Praying for you and Ruslana.
"We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” -I Cor.4
Something to encourage you. My daughter came from China so a little different but still the same.
Everything in my paperchase was delayed and I felt so defeated too Little did I know that I had requested a certain age range and the daughter he chose for me hadn't reached the age yet. Two days prior to having her in my arms she hit the mark. She is so perfect for my family, only God could have chosen so well.
He has it under control and there is a reason for the delays so leave your worries at the foot of the cross.
I am praying for your family and that things will move quickly.
New Friend,
Kelli Stever
