We got the official word today that Isabella's file is "officially" lost at the US Embassy in Guatemala. They have given up looking. They think it accidentally got stuck to another file and is lost somewhere in the building. We spent 8 hours today re-creating our dossier. At one point, we had two cell phones and our home phone going at the same time trying to track down documents and figuring out exactly what the USE needs. Please, please pray that somehow God will see us through this very quickly. Only HE can make this come together!
This was the verse today that one of my students asked me to help him memorize. He highlighted it in bright yellow and brought it to me. The minute I read it I knew the Lord was trying to comfort me about our bad news with the Embassy~ and the fact that they may or may not approve her right now. The verse is from Deuteronomy 31:6. I am typing it from memory... Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
For the Lord your God is with you; he will never leave you or forsake you.

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

We are praying with all of our hearts. It is the first thing we do when we awaken, the last thing we do before falling asleep and I pray everytime I think of you and precious Isabella.
Love,
Gina
Talk about the Lord using someone - you are blowing my mind! In the midst of one of the worst situations, you are able to minister to others. Stacy, you are truly set apart! I am praying for the Lord's hand to be all over the rest of this journey. You really are reflecting His glory right now!
Blessings~

Your story is so touching and I can see how God is working through you to bring home this precious little one. I will pray for you and your family that all of the necessary work happens quickly so that your new joourney can begin. God be with you!
Oh my goodness, I just can't believe this! Thank God you decided to open up that can of WA!! At least now you can move forward, although frantic I'm sure. Hang in there, sweets. I'm so sorry...although that seems so insignificant. It's time to get Bella home!
Stacy, my heart aches for you! I've just found your website and am now following your blog. Please keep courage and faith because God WILL get you through.
Praying and praying for you...
Nikki
