Closed door, Open Window

We have been waiting on pins and needles for quite some time trying to find out what will happen with our sweet Megan in Russia. We went from talking to agencies, talking to our government, talking to families who were there right now, fighting to bring their babies home with all their might. And we've prayed and prayed! What I have been learning in prayer and in bible study this month is God is absolutely ABLE and He is power. Not that He has power, he simply IS power. He is however, also sovereign  Which means he sees the grander picture far more clearly, and he is good. Which means I may not always get the results I want, but he gives the answers we need.

 So now we know, the door for Megan is fully closed. She absolutely deserves a Mommy and Daddy, and we are broken for her loss as she will not likely be adopted within country. However God has granted us some peace regarding her  situation in Russia. We were blessed to have discovered through our adoption agency that she is in a nice boarding school (not an institution), receiving good services and good care surrounded by kids her age. We even found out she is an orphanage favorite so God is providing her with love. We are committed to continuing to pray that God will find her the forever family that she deserves through a compassionate Russian family. She will always be on our hearts. And we trust God and his heart for the orphan. He knows the number of hairs on her head and loves her way more than we ever could. We trust that he is providing her that love.

We have however, been informed by Reece's Rainbow that it is time to let her go. We are still committed to adoption and the plight of the orphan and have once again asked the Lord to direct us to his plan for our family. Would we have ever found her if Megan had not opened the door for us? God's ways are perfect and we are overwhelmingly excited as he planted the sweetest, most beautiful little girl right in our laps and has provided financially for her tremendously! We are overwhelmed by the affirmation and confirmation he has give us in what seemed like such a dead end! May I introduce..............

We have lots to share about her, including her beautiful Traditional name, but for now we will leave you with this! God bless you for praying with us and walking with us. This journey has barely begun. As always, we can't wait to see what God does!
