I have been doing a lot of thinking today about adoption and adoption agencies. I have come to the conclusion that we as adopting parents do a host of finger pointing. When something goes wrong or doesn't happen how or when we think it should we are quick to point the finger of blame at our adoption agency or our home study agency. We really need to stop and think about this before we do! Adoption is a good verses evil. The Lord wants us to adopt, but the devil wants us to leave the children right where they are! Yet in the midst of all the paperwork and home studies we don't stop and think that what we really need to be doing is not point the finger but to pray to the Lord and to tell the devil to leave us alone and get out of our adoption. I know first hand that things don't always go how you think they should or when you think they should. That is the time we should remember as much as God wants us doing this the devil wants us to quit even more! I would hate to think that my dislike of an agency would detour someone else from using them. Especially when that agency is probably not to blame for what happened the devil is!
Just a little food for thought.

Post adoption I realized that what we thought were holdups were in fact God sparing us from ourselves and our time line.
His time line was much, much better than ours for had we gone with ours we would have been in China for the worst snow storm in 60 years.
When we did go two months later, with His timing, we had excellent weather.
This time around, however long God's wants us to wait, is just fine by me, for I know that His timing is the best timing.
