Blessings

We got a call and a letter from our agency. They now know the Korean gov't is not giving out any more passports for 2006. Now we expect Rachel home in January. It's what I thought in the back of my mind but it is still hard. She's getting so much older and we don't even know her. The time is going by rather quickly though. Soon it will be Thanksgiving and Christmas. Time to start working on really getting ready for her.

We got two unexpected checks in the mail this week. We feel that God is blessing us through this adoption.

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19

November

I can't believe a year has gone by. Last November we were working on paperwork and getting our fingerprints done. We never thought we would still be waiting at this point. Our dear little girl is still not home. Our agency said we could send a letter to her foster mom in Korea, so I delivered a Thanksgiving card and some photos today. I realize that Thanksgiving is a distinctly American holiday. They actually celebrate a type of "thanksgiving" holiday in Korea called Chuseok, also known as the Harvest Moon Festival.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Psalm 100:4
