Praying for Jonathan

We just got an email from Ann at Red Thread this morning informing us that Jonathan has received the package we sent him. We assume delivery may have been delayed because of the holiday. We would like to ask you to pray for Jonathan as this new chapter in his life is about to begin. We were told when we began this process that children who are in foster care are usually returned to the orphanage a week or two before the adoption takes place. We will be meeting Jonathan for the first time in about 4 weeks. This means that within in the next 2-3 weeks he will leave the only family he has ever known to go live in the orphanage until we get him. Please begin praying now for this little boy who is about to leave everything familiar. Please pray for his foster family as they prepare him for this day.

We have begun communication with Children's Hospital with the hope of having him scheduled to be evaluated soon after we are home. We have confirmed our flights. We will be leaving on November 4th and returning November 20th. We will receive our itinerary from Bethany about 7-10 days before we leave. Please pray for us as we still have a bunch of things to do before we go. God has opened this door for us to welcome this little boy into our lives and our hearts and we are trusting God to give us the strength we need to continue and bring Jonathan home.
