"The King and I"......

Dear Family and Friends,


Well, here is the latest:  Wayne said that someone told him they heard of a family whose adoption was also "stuck" and that they appealed to the King of Thailand with a letter and their adoption went through! So we have written a letter to the King and Wayne is getting it translated, then we will have it delivered along with some photos. Pray for God's favor with the King, as His Word says that   He turns/directs the hearts of the kings of the earth. Only the King of Kings can do that!


Also, our attorney, Kelly Ensslin, is also working on our behalf. Right now we are attempting to locate a Thai attorney in Bangkok who works in international adoptions, possibly one who works with an adoption agency there. We hope to hear soon exactly how to proceed to get things moving. The U.S.State Dept. Office of Children's Issues has also been helping.


We continue to trust the Lord and believe He WILL release this adoption decree!
We covet your continued prayer support.


For Jedidiah and those who have no families,


Bonnie Sue and Wayne

Waiting...waiting and more waiting!

Dear family & friends,


One of the hardest things to do is WAIT!! It can be pure agony. Someone once said that "patience is a bitter cup that only the strong can drink". How true!!


We have, at the direction of our attorney, written our congressman and senators concerning our adoption plight.  Additionally, our attorney has contacted the U.S. State Dept., Office of Children's Issues. We are now waiting to hear any news concerning the holdup in Jedidiah's adoption. Please pray that God will move and that soon Jedidiah and Wayne will be coming to us!


Friday, May 11th, Jedidiah will turn 5 years old. I am so saddened that I cannot be with him to celebrate and make him an "Elephant Cake" like I did on his 3rd birthday as he just LOVES elephants!  I told him recently that when he comes I will make him one even if it is not his birthday!! He was very thrilled about that!


Blessings be upon all of you who donated the attorney fees. We greatly, greatly, appreciate your help. Thank you all again so very much.


Believing God fights & wins our battles, 


Bonnie Sue & Wayne
