...Waiting

There is no news still. I keep waiting every day to hear something, anything, from Liberia and no news comes. I would love to see pictures! It seems that as of lately AFFA has been consumed with Uganda and that's all the news we hear is coming out of Uganda.
I did get an interesting website to follow today, however. If you are interested check it out. http://rutledge6.blogspot.com/
This is a blog from a woman in NC who works with another adoption agency...Addy's Hope who supposedly had be shut down for a while with all the happenings in Liberia. She recently went over to Liberia to speak to gov. officials to pass the bill in the Senate. It was interesting to read but depressing at the same time, cause she stated the reality that we all dread to hear..."The government of Liberia is in no hurry to resolve the issues on adoption in Liberia." Well, that's not what I wanted to hear!!!
I am glad however that someone is doing something to encourage the government. I can't help but become negative and think, "why is our agency not over there?"
Sorry that the no news was good news. My biggest struggle lately has been with Colten. I have been trying to keep myself busy this summer to keep my mind off of it all but it's not really working :) But Colten struggles with not having his brother and sister here. I don't know if I should, but I worry about his relationship with God. Might seem silly he's only 4 but, I don't want him to lose his trust in God at such an early age. When he prays at night he tells me, "God isn't going to bring them home. He won't do it!" His prayers lately have been more yelling at God. It's hard to see him struggle and know that I kinda feel the same somedays but won't say it. A few days ago he said, "God if you don't bring them home right now then I'm going to come up there and spank you and hit you!" Needless to say we've had many talks about respecting God and trusting in Him and his perfect timing which is hard to do when you struggle with the same frustrations :) He's even said in his prayers, "I want you to go and steal Onah and Marie from whoever has them and bring them home right now...I'm serious!" (This will be something we can look back on and just laugh, but for the time being I'm kinda worried.) Any advice from anyone on how to help Colten would be much appreciated. Sometimes I simply like to know that I'm not alone in all this :) Am I thinking too much about it, will it blow over???
Maybe I'll have something positive to write on here soon
