Prayers

Right after my last post, I got bad news about a friend who is in dire need of some serious prayers. She, her husband and her 6 year old are in VN right now. They got a referral for a beautiful baby girl 7 months ago, but CIS would not approve the adoption. After 7 months, and the baby's one year bday, the family went to VN and adopted her. Now they are essentially stuck in VN, possibly for two years (at that point the US would HAVE to let them bring the baby to the US). At first the adoption agency was supportive of their decision to go to VN, adopt the baby and hire a lawyer. Now the agency is saying they should take the baby back to the orphanage b/c it doesn't look good. There have been families in similar circumstances who have been waiting 8 months and still don't have approval. Anyway, they could use your prayers. They plan to stay in VN as long as they can (i.e. as long as they have a valid visa and can afford to live there). And I sit here thinking, "What have I gotten myself into??!!"
