Well things have not gone according to our plans but then again they rarely do. The process of International adoption is a journey of faith and believe me this journey has tested mine many many times. Ultimately i know God is in control and orchestrating every move we make we just have to trust him that his plans are way better than ours. When we started this process it was for Masha, Grayson was our added bonus....that doesn't mean we wanted him any less but just that since hosting Masha we felt she was our daughter and we would go through this crazy journey to bring her home.
After getting Masha's referral and getting to see her again we found out we would not be able to adopt her. There are many factors to this none of which were known to all parties involved until recently. We were not aware she has several family members she still sees regularly so even though she wanted to be adopted by us she still struggled with leaving everything behind. Although we were and are devastated and heartbroken we pray she will be loved here and maybe someday when she is older she can come to the US. The pain is still great over the loss of her being our daughter so please don't ask details because i am tired of talking about it.
We did after a lot of discussion and prayer decide to still bring home two children, so Grayson is coming home and another little boy we met at the same orphanage who we named Callen. One week ago we had our court date and both boys are now legally ours! I am still in country for the waiting period after any court decision and then I'll be started the paper chasing part to bring the boys home, hoping i can be home in two weeks or so.
