Bringing Henry Home: We are done for now....

Wednesday, June 22, 2011

We are done for now....

please pray for our sweet Henry...

his country is not accepting any more dates for travel before the shutdown July 11...

it will be at least 3 months from then until we can travel to get him (think late October or later)...

we can only hope that our paperwork is still "good" when they re-open and that we do not have to redo everything because it will have "expired" by then...

please pray also that we may joyfully accept God's will....

Our Lady, I beg you to hold my sweet baby (turning 1 on July 23) under your mantle of protection until he can come home.
