Did you hear that?

Conversation Monday at my house:

Prince Bonkie (4-the one who 'saw' our brown baby)-"Mama, MAMA, did you HEAR that?"

Me, the Mama, "What, did you hear something honey?"

Astonished look on the childs face, "Mama I heard it."

Mama, "What was it?"

The Prince,"It was a door and it opened in BWAT-ga-mala Mama. I just heard it."

*We had told our children that Guatemala was 'closed' a month ago, when our agency told us they would no longer be giving out referrals in their program in Guatemala. Hmm, tonight their Papa and I had dinner out (our kids were having their 'Harvest Party' at church, this was our first year in 12 years that we weren't helping to run it, but opted for dinner out alone.) We discussed what our agencies director told my husband yesterday (in a 45 minute phone call.) We were glad to have a few hours to discuss what the conversation entailed and what would be our current plan of action.

So the decision for now, 'is hold course' in Guatemala. The elections are next week, looks like we won't have a referral until after the New Year,(Guatemala is threatening to "close" by January 1st to all adoptions-if you believe them.) We are now #15 on the girls list.

As God didn't tell us what to do, and originally he told us Guatemala(2005)...we are walking (or waiting) the path. As we know we will be adopting, the timing and country remain in His hands. (as they always were.)
