Well, the matching meeting has come and gone and we found
out that we were not matched with a son.
Only one orphanage came to the meeting with all the correct paperwork on
their children. So there were not enough
“eligible” orphans to be matched to those in front of us in the process.
I have to be honest here; the first 24 or so hours after we
found out, I was an emotional wreck. I
was frustrated in the process, the lack of preparation, etc. I was heartbroken, similar to thinking with
all your heart you are pregnant and then having a pregnancy test come back
negative…again. Although I know with my
head that God’s timing is perfect and that He has the most perfect child for
our family, my heart just ached that we have to wait for another meeting to have
a chance to find out.
With all of the above said, there are some positives as
well. Around 10 children have been
“matched” with forever families. Praise
God for this!! There is also talk of
another matching meeting as early as “sometime in June”. This would be wonderful as typically it would
be another 3-4 months later.
Please continue to pray for all of the fatherless children
in Lesotho. There are so many issues
that these children have to overcome…so many that we cannot fully
understand. Please pray that God would
provide these children his comfort, peace and protection from physical and
emotional harm.

Praying for your family and for all those children who are wishing for a family, but waiting for people to get their paperwork done.
