Happy First Birthday Stephen...We Miss You!

Today's prevailing emotion fo me ~ anger. I am angry that I can't spend Stephen's first birthday with him and even more angry that he may not be our son in the end so celebrating may be moot. I miss him so much and yet I have to force myself to detach to some degree. I am angry that this is happening to us as so many other adoptions move forward without a glitch (not that I want a glitch for anyone...I just don't want ours!). I just want this nightmare to be over.

Dear Dawn and Joe
Please know that you are both in our prayers, this is probably the most horrible adoption story ever. I pray for a happy ending for you.
One thing is sure you absolutly deserve it. Please try to be strong. Karen

Happy Birthday Stephen!

I'm so sorry Dawn and Joe. I'm sure your pain is difficult and almost unbearable. I will pray for the peace and comfort of God to fill you.

Happy birthday, Stephen. I pray God continues to watch over your little boy and to guide the hearts and minds of the judges, sw and attorneys in KZ.

Dawn, happy b'day to little Stephen... and I echo two comments by others 1) this is the most horrible adoption story ever, 2)what man intends for evil God uses for good. We all wait and pray for the good that will come of this very sad journey.

We leave for Ust on Friday, day after tomorrow. Is there anything I can do for you while I'm there? I'm sorry our paths have not crossed in the physical sense yet. Stephanie

Glitches are hard - we've had our share - and I have probably had every known emotion regarding this process. looking back (and it is not even over yet) I can see that God has held my hand and led me on a spiritual journey like no other. I pray that you too will feel His presence today.

Happy Birthday Stephen!
