Referral from Vietnam

My feet may venture to the ground
But He has never let me down
I can't hold in
My soul is screaming

Hey you
I'm into Jesus
Hey you
I'm into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you
I'm into Jesus
Hey you
I've seen the truth
and I believe

The Creator who shows His face in array of way has once again shown me grace and mercy by allowing me to move ahead with my adoption of Layla. On yesterday, I found out from my agency that I had received the official letter which will allow me to take the next step in my Vietnam adoption. PRAISE GOD!!!

And being that God has a sense of humor, a different Layla was referred to me than the one originally referred. (I so need to adopt a boy next time so I can have another "simple adoption.")
Although Vietnam is not a Hague country INS is making Vietnam confirm to some of the Hague rules. One being ads for abandoned babies must be placed for 60 days instead of 30 days. June 3 Layla's 60 days will be up on Sept 7th, too late for the deadline.

So I was referred another infant girl and June 3 Layla will most likely be adopted by an European family, who don't have the same time constraints as I have. I pray she goes to a good Christian home.

What do I know about the new Layla? She's a girl born this year.

I, of course, had the busiest work day ever and saw that my agency had emailed me. I'm so grateful my agency said in the email they had news for me and it wasn't bad news. By the time I got a minute to call them back, desks were literally being moved out of their offices (my agency is in the process of moving), so they did not
have any access to any information on the new Layla. But to be honest, I didn't care. I was so happy that I had received the official letter and beat the Sept 1 deadline with my little girl.

When she was born, how much she weighs, how tall she is, bygones - to quote that wonderful little show Ally McBeal.

God is always on time. In His time, He made sure the child that was meant to be mine came to me and I thank Him for that.

When I know more details about my perfect little Layla I will share.

So in closing to quote the greatest group in the world...dc talk....

Nothing's going to change my world,
I'm into Jesus
One time
One time Jesus bled
He died and rose again
Can I get a witness for the things He's done?

WOW, our God is an AWESOME GOD! Isn't it crazy how, if we just relax and let Him take control, everything turns out perfect! Congrats on your new Layla, can't wait to hear all about her as soon as you know!

If only I could have been relaxed through the whole 16 month wait for a referral, but in spite of my doubts, fears, and worries God was still gracious and granted me favor and blessed me with a beautiful little girl.

Thanks.
