Yikes! Our Adoption Agency is Closing!

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 11:41 AM, EDT

Just when you thought you it would be smooth sailing to the end, we got notice that our Adoption Agency in Texas is closing at the end of the week! What does this all mean for the Fitzpatricks? We THINK it will mean that we have an additional $1500 transfer fee to pay but that the adoption will continue on course. We have a call in to the new adoption agency but they are apparently inundated with calls.

These past few months have been like the puzzle of our lives has been turned upside down and the pieces strewn. Last week it was with great relief that we could feel like we put the adoption piece into the middle and begin to surround it with other little ones to bring some order into our lives. But here again, the puzzle was upended and we are left wondering what in the world God has up his sleeves.

I say this, however, with confidence. We trust in our God for every aspect of our lives -- the ones that look good, and the ones that look bad. We KNOW that He is faithful and that HE will fit all of the pieces of our lives back together and we will be able to stand back at that time and say, "It is good."

Hopefully this is just a slight blip in the road. If not, we'll let you know!

Don't worry Grace, we won't give up on you! We'll scale every mountain to bring you home!
