prayer for adoption

The dead line for Vietnam and the US to sign their bilateral agreement to continue adoptions between the two countries is fast approaching. The agreement is still unsigned and potentially this could end our adoption of Lydia with out a way for her to come home. Yet at the same time we have great peace from God, remembering that He is in control. He has brought us this far in His strength and He will lead us on. We would ask that you keep the following things in prayer with us:

* that The Joint Council ( a group that negotiates and arbitrates for orphans and between countries) would successfully negotiate with the DIA (Dept. of International Adoption in Vietnam) to inspire them to want to continue adoptions with the US.

*that the US State Dept. and the USCIS would send a letter to Vietnam and state, they would desire to continue and support adoptions between the US and Vietnam.

Thank you for continuing to walk this journey with us. May you be bless for the faithfulness you have given us.
