"Sometimes I would like to ask God, why He allows poverty, famine and injustice in the world, when He could do something about it... but I'm afraid He might ask me the same question."

    i love all the photos - especially the contrast of how tentative and shy your sweet little girl is in the beginning and as she is with you longer, the joy that shines in her sweet face (and yours). What a wonderful family and I will pray with all my might!

    Watching the video brought tears as I remembered our family's journey to our sweet Miriam. Praying now and praying daily for a positive ruling on December 14th. Thank you for sharing about your precious family, Sara! God is in control and He can bring about another Christmas miracle!

    what a precious family you have. God goes before you and paves the way, I completely believe that! Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul with all your mind. You are great example of this, Can't wait to hear the decision. Praying for you.

    What an amazing journey. Prayers are surrounding your family! I found your blog through a friend on facebook - we are looking to adopt in the future and your video definitely moved my heart closer to being ready. May you be blessed this holiday season as you spend it with your precious family.

    It is 8:38 AM in Africa on December 14, 2011. I was just brought to your blog. Not by chance. This is annointed by God.

    Lord, I come to you right now, asking that you get this family of 5 home for Christmas. Lord, I know you are capable and I am believing that you are performing a miracle in the hearts of the judge(s) right now. You are preparing them to meet this family that you knitted together and that they will see the love only you could create.

    Lord, I ask you this in your precious name. Amen

    This touched my heart tonight. I have seen God defend me when I had no defense to prove myself. I know He can do it for you. My prayers are with you this day!
