Adoption Roller Coaster

Someone once (several times by now) told me that adoption is a roller coaster ride.  Many ups and downs and we're hanging on for dear life!  A young lady's life.  We were originally told the adoption process would go quickly and smoothly and everything looks in order (yada yada)...only to find out the most frustrating news.  Olga is not registered to be adopted.  WHAT?!  How can this be?  So many questions and no answers.  I feel like a Mom who has just lost her daughter in the store - running around frantic "where is she?  She was just here!  She's got to be right here somewhere!  Find HER!" 
So, we're screaming along on the coaster - one of those looong downward stretches.  What can we do?  Fighting her government would just get us kicked off of the roller coaster.  I've prayed and cried and cried and prayed.  I am trying to learn to shut my eyes and focus on the reason we are here.  God put us on this ride.  He knew the journey, the ups and downs.  He also promises to be there to guide us with His Spirit.  Jesus has saved us from what we were.  There is nothing impossible for Him!  How blessed are we to be drawing near to Him who loves us and saves us by His Grace.  Praise and Honor and Glory to Him!

  1. We are praying for all of you! We hope and pray that the "roller-coaster" will not be as steep and surprising as you think it will be!
    My God grant Olga to be with you soon!
    Love in Christ,
    The Stameys
