my little lantern: "If you don't have anything good to say, then..."

Hi. I'm Sarah. He's Kevin. She's Hannah Claire. We're a family, blessed with our daughter via international adoption. Hannah was born and lovingly cared for in Taiwan, placed into our arms on 12.29.08, and things haven't been quite the same since. Hallelujah! On 9.2.11 we rejoiced when we received the referral for a little boy, nearly 10 months old, living in foster care in Taiwan. Our family is excitingly preparing for him to come home in 2012.

"By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary. They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown

I pray for you nearly every day. Especially today, I ask God to comfort you, hold you up, and give you strength and encouragement. He has not forgotten your desires. Your daughter is know by Him, and is a way is being made for her even as you don't see it going on.

Hugs,
Tisra

Miss Sarah,

You have been on my mind a lot lately. If we are on the edge of our seats waiting for Hannah Claire, I'll bet you are 1,000x more. I continue to keep your patience and endurance in my prayers.

I know you are so frustrated. I don't have any words either. I don't want to make it harder. I check here every day to see if anything happened. It will be soon.

Sarah,

I prayed for you and Kevin today, for God's blessing on your family and for news of your little girl to come soon. I've had days recently where I have felt very discouraged about our adoption and the wait, and I can only imagine it doesn't even compare to what you are experiencing. God's timing is perfect...waiting is hard, though. I'll continue to pray for you guys!

Cindy

It is getting to be about Ziffles time again isn't it? There is just something about cold beverages and fried pickles that may pass the time. Not to mention the ribs........ Thinking of you guys- Amy and Monte

Sarah,
I know this is so tough on you, Kevin and babydog. We are so praying and hoping for your fam that you hear good news NOW! I'm growing very impatient so I can only image how you guys are feeling! Know that we think of you everyday and are anxiously awaiting good news. Spa day? Only wish we lived closer I'd be taking you out - maybe we could have a cyber shopping spree together?
On pins and needles...
Tiffany

I believe the saying is... "if you don't have anything good to say, come sit by me" (steel magnolias)

The point—we're here for you. Whether you have lots to say or nothing... we're here.
