Thumbs up PRAYER Thread for those in-process

POST HERE if you're still in-process. Post whatever information you're comfortable with - such as your name and your waiting childs name. I promise to pray daily, every day in November, for each family.

Many of us hop on this forum often and can stop a moment to re-read this thread, then pray for Favor, Miracles, Blessings, Patients, Understanding, Wisdom, Care, Safety, and Peace to be given to you. You are not forgotten.

If anyone has words of encouragement to pass along, please post it.

Daphne

I just wanted to say.. I am so sorry to those of you still in-process. It's cruel and unfair what you & your children are going through. May you bring all of your children home quickly..
