Well... it is certainly a shock to the system to learn that everything you THOUGHT was happening is not at all what IS happening! We were fervently praying for an August home-coming... putting those petitions before the Lord and waiting to see what He'd say. The answer is apparently, "No." Knowing He knows what is ultimately best for us.... it's okay, we're fine. But it's still hard news to realize that Carrie may very well not be home for her first birthday. We missed Drew's first birthday... life went on; his second birthday was a HUGE deal instead!! So, maybe it's best if we have it the same for both of our children.
Last night I went on "Chat" with the director of our agency and other families. While last week I was told by my agency that we were still in the last level of court ("PGN") and had never been "kicked out" (what they do to you when you have a document that needs fixing)... it was not true. We were kicked out for a problem with one of Carrie's documents somewhere along the way. It was apparently very hard to fix. We will be going back IN to PGN this Thursday. I thought we'd be OUT by Thursday.... but now we start the 8-9 week wait ALLL OVER again! Miracles certainly do happen, and maybe our stay this time will be shorter... but we could get kicked out again, in truth. Pray that is not the case!!!
My only good news? Today my agent will see Carrie and take new photos of her and video!!! The photos we should get within a day or two... the video will take longer. But I cannot wait to see her! Our last pics are from May 18... almost 3 months ago!!! I bet she's changed so much!!
Thanks for your prayers! Our only August prayer request is: GET US OUT OF PGN, LORD!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just keep TRUSTING in the LORD and in HIS perfect timing. He has the day and time all planned out and he will reveal it all to you. I will continue praying that you receive that blessed OUT call soon.
