Well, there are (it seems) a lot of times where life sure doesn't work out the way we plan.
The classes we were supposed to take in the weekend version with the agency we have been looking into were cancelled due to low enrollment. So, instead of experiencing several hours of adoption classes this weekend, we are home and experiencing a lot of questions.
The Lord is gracious - we don't feel angry, frustrated, or upset. We really are just confused. So many thoughts run through our minds. We found out on Monday that they "may" be cancelled but weren't told until yesterday (Friday - first day of the class) that they were cancelled for sure. First, I (of course) was experiencing my period starting a bit late due to prescription progesterone - but a couple days later than usual - and so here I was thinking...maybe the classes are being cancelled because I'm pregnant!!! No such luck. And then - all the other questions start flooding in. Was this a closed door? Are we not supposed to dive into getting more information? What on earth is happening? What do we do??
The agency has started looking into video conferencing for the classes, and the next round of 7 Tuesday classes in the Big City start August 9th (which seems years away), but they have no idea if they can be up and running by then to allow us to attend from home. They also have weekend classes in the same format in July in Tucson, but we'll be in Canada during the first set.
So...we have no idea what's going on or where to go from here. We'd love your prayers for discernment, wisdom, and peace.

God's timing is always perfect!! I have to keep reminding myself that as I have to get re-fingerprinted, packages get lost, etc. He is in control and I know without a doubt that adoption is His plan for us right now. There are always going to be bumps along the road, especially when we are doing what the Lord wants you to do because the devil doesn't like that. Continue praying about it but don't give up!
Rusty and I prayed for you today. Love you both.
Wanting to love anyone....including a child is something God endorses since He Himself is love.
Anything in life takes perseverance. Look how many doctors I had to see to get some idea of what I am sick with!
I would continue to pursue all avenues that you feel God is leading you in.
Hugs....
