You may remember me asking you over the past months (and quite frankly, years!) to pray for my friend Stephanie and her sweet little girl "K" (I am not supposed to use her whole name until she is home), who has been held captive in the red-tape-world-of-Guatemalan-adoptions for a VERY LONG TIME.....
good news, people.....
"K" is OUT OF PGN!!!!!!
This is huge.
HUGE!!!!!
PGN is a very, very major "near the end" step in Guatemalan adoptions. And it means that she is "officially" John and Stephanie's daughter!!! and a little sister to Daniel!!!!
When I read the news from Stephanie, my heart felt like it would jump out of my chest...and then tears came quickly as I remembered the amazing relief that our family felt when we received the call that Micah was out of PGN! ((and I should just mention right here that as difficult as our adoption of Micah was....it looks like a walk in the park compared to what John, Stephanie and Daniel have endured!!))
Anyway, please join me in thanking God for this wonderful news!!!
I have no idea why He has allowed "K"'s adoption to linger on so long....but I DO know that He is sovereign...and I DO know that His ways are perfect.
AND I ALSO KNOW that Stephanie has walked this long road with her Lord, and she has shown so many people (including me) what it looks like--- in real life--- to trust in Him even through the questions and the heartaches!!!
Stephanie....I can't wait to share the news that "K" is HOME!!! It will be soon!!

WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!
I am SO SO happy to hear this!
And Stephanie, if you're reading this: know that we are rejoicing with you!
And I agree with Michelle... you have been an amazing example of how to walk through such a difficult, difficult season. I know you have touched MANY with your grace and trust during this time.
Love to you and yours,
~Stacy
Michelle You made me cry!!! (you too Stacy!) It means so much to me to have had you walking beside me during this time. It has been a true blessing. I know as difficult as it has been, (no lying, it has been tough), I rejoice at the ways I have seen God move amazingly, humble me and many times totally WOW me.
I am still processing the fact that K is our daughter... Now it is on to regualar motherly panic at preparing for her. :-)
Michelle, I heard you screaming here in Michigan. Did you hear me too? :-) remember when we got our calls? i remember talking to you from Costco as we waited on PINK...
I have to admit to keep coming back to read this post. Somehow makes it more REAL!!! I will miss you at my shower- it seems like you should be there since you have been beside me all along!:-(
