Unknown territory

Again, my heart is heavy. Yes, my heart is heavy but my hope is in the Lord and His promises for my family.

We are waiting, patiently, waiting. We are traveling the road of unknown. We know but one thing; GOD has this! I know that is all I need to know. But, I am only human and my heart and mind feels the need for answers.

Where is he? I don't know and we may not know the exact location before we travel but we will know our region I am sure when travel time comes.
How is he? I don't know but I know God loves him more than I do.
How much longer? I don't know, I tried to check God's planner and was quickly reminded it is not mine to see.
The adoption will happen, right? As long as it's God's will for Alexander to come home to be a Taylor--then yes, it will happen and not a moment sooner than God has planned.
How much does this cost? About $24,000 (give or take a few thousand dollars)


So what I know is this: adoption is not inexpensive and I am doing all I can to help this process along. The rest? The rest is up to God---as it should be. I am growing in this process and you know growing pains hurt. So while my heart is heavy, my hope is in Him. This pain now is temporary. Pray for our little fella, pray for our family. Pray for this adoption and our fund.

Thank you

God Bless you and your husband for fighting for Alexander. What I know is that you have raised a lot of money and awareness for Alexander. Many more people are praying for him because of your advocacy. God will steer the car just keep the engine running! Your family is in our prayers.
