Ah, the waiting game, we are all too familiar.
Just find peace in knowing that God's timing is always absolutely perfect.
Hello. My name is Elizabeth Hunter and my husband and I are in the beginning stages of an adoption from Rwanda. We have been speaking with Gladney although have not signed with them yet, as we complete our homestudy. In the midst of your wait, which I hope will not be long(!) I wonder if you could spare a moment to speak with me. I am so needing to connect with families who are ahead of us in the process. My email is elizamail@yahoo.com
