"Not yet, keep looking. Be patient."

Hello Everyone,
We just want to give you a quick update on where we are in the adoption process, or perhaps we should say and anti-update since there hasn't been any real change since the last one.  Don't worry though, our frustration in not hearing anything has turned into patience and peace.

The reason I say that it has turned from frustration to peace is because there have been several children that we could have followed up on (that doesn't mean we would have been able to adopt them, but we could have moved to the next step of getting more info).  But every time we consider a child, we just don't feel like we would be the right fit for them.   

So, after much prayer and meditation over the last few weeks, Sarah and I feel that God is telling us "Not yet, keep looking.  Be patient."  This gives us peace because we know we are still on the right path and we know God has a plan.  And if there is one thing that I have learned in the last 10 years of my life, is that God's plans are ALWAYS better than our plans!  He definitely knows what He is doing. 

Needless to say, at this point in our Adoption Journey, we haven't made any progress lately, but we are continuing the search and we are doing it with a peace we didn't have before.  Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we continue our journey. 

In Christ,
Stephen and Sarah
