Praise the Lord Jesus for a surprise donation of $1,300 which completes the balance for the attorney retainer of $3,000!!! Thank you, Lord! And thanks to some VERY generous people who must have a huge heart. Thanks to all of you who contributed to this cause. I will keep this blog up so that you may keep informed of Jedidiah's adoption progress. As of yet, we still have no news.
I have posted some new photos Wayne sent me of Jedidiah. The blue outfit is the traditional Thai "working people's" uniform. The red and black outfit is one I sent him via the Meades recently, a "Car's Movie" pit uniform! He loved it especially because it had built-in muscles!!
Awaiting Victory through Jesus,
Bonnie Sue and Wayne

MORE WAITING.....(BIG SIGH)
Our international lawyer, Kelly, was not able to contact the people she needed to as they were in some kind of conference on adoption in Miami. Tomorrow they are suppose to be back in the office, but Kelly said if I don't hear from her by Tuesday afternoon to give her a call. PRAY that she can connect with the right people who can help.
Wayne has decided to try Jedidiah in a special 3 week pre-school program that is Thai/English. Jedidiah at first acted upset. So Wayne asked him how he felt about going. He said "are you happy about going or are you not happy about going"? Jedidiah took his face out of the pillow he had buried it in and replied, "Both!" I thought that was an excellent response from a not quite 5 yr. old!! I think Wayne will have a problem dealing with "being alone" most of the day for three weeks and Jedidiah may have problems dealing with "Daddy leaving him" for the day for three weeks! Actually, Wayne already confessed that he will really miss him!! I think they have become quite close buddies!! :)
Please continue to pray for their release from this bureaucratic nightmare.
Blessings,
Bonnie Sue

MORE WAITING!
Our lawyer, Kelly, has told us that she will wait til the middle of this week (which is today!) and if she still has no response from our social worker or Thai attorney, she will be contacting the US State Dept. to see if they can help. Pray that the Lord will work this all out so that Wayne and Jedidiah can come home!
We still have about half of the lawyer fees, so pray about that too!
The pollution smog is thick in Chiang Mai right now due to the tribal people burning off their land to prepare for crops. Since Chiang Mai is in a basin surrounded by mountains, the pollution tends to linger. Many people get sick from it as well.
Our dear friends, the Meades family, will be leaving for Chiang Mai, Thailand, in less than a week. They will be visiting Wayne and Jedidiah so I was able to send them both some early birthday gifts! How fun! However, Jedi keeps asking me to make him an elephant cake like I did on his 3rd birthday. He will be 5 in May. I told him that when he came here I would make him one even if it wasn't his birthday!! :)
Awaiting God's deliverance,
