On March 14, we have been "paper pregnant" for 7 months. Typically, at this point in a "regular" pregnancy, anticipation begins to set in. Mothers begin nesting and getting things ready for their new arrival. They suffer sleepless nights and occasional "pains" associated with this little one.
Last night, we received news about a change in the process of Ethiopian adoptions....it is a change that has caused me some "labor pains" today.
One reason we chose Ethiopia was that we only had to make one trip to Ethiopia and it was a fairly short, painless process. (HA!) Now, they have changed the process to require a SECOND trip. Not only will this be a tremendous added expense for us, but it was prolong the process for us even more......
In my pain, a good friend shared some good advice to help me get through this "pain".
"If it's God's WILL, then it's God's BILL!!"
I must stand on this and know that HE will make a way where there seems to be NO WAY. And things will be even better than they were before! He will get the glory and honor in this adoption!

I thought about you when I got the news as well. We're praying for you, your baby, and the process!
