Well, I have heard back from Heritage.
They have decided NOT to ask CCAA for us.
They have inquired about Grady and the CCAA
says that his file is not at the CCAA yet and
that the SWI is still working on a few documents.
They said I could process for the file in March 2009
and hope for a quick TA. The Fujian provincial director
says he will speak with CCAA Director LU to ask for
special expedited processing for Grady.
So--- This leaves Bill and I with a huge decision.
We must first find an agency willing to check with the
CCAA periodically for Grady's file. Then we must start
the home study and file with CIS...asking for
quick processing.
This is overwhelming. We just want to help
Grady have the life God has made it clear he deserves.
The LEAP of faith would be very
large for our family. We would need to spend about 1800.
NOT knowing IF we will
get Grady's file. BLIND faith. (and not much money to boot)
I need help here. I feel a call for Grady....
it is sometimes so much so
that I want to throw all caution out the door and just JUMP.
Other times, I could just say, "Oh Well....
someone else needs to fight this battle." (Is that Satan???)
I KNOW God will provide....I KNOW God calls us to
walk with Him even when we don't know they way.
It is hard to believe God would grant our family this
special child with all that is going against the
"norm" for Grady's China adoption processing
(and CIS for that matter)
As you can tell, I could really use some encouragement.
I don't know what way to turn--- TO Grady or AWAY from Grady...
I know I will turn to the Lord in prayer.....
Thanks!

I am praying for you to hear God's answer to Grady.
My thought on the $1800 and the unknown if it will happen. I know $1800 seems like a lot of money, it is! But you know, that same $1800 would be spent on something else, even if it's not on something you wanted it to be used for, it will still be spent.
Not sure if this helps.
But God will give you the answer, He is good like that!

I hear you and know the turmoil. Just pray and trust in Him to give you the answer, the peace and the direction. He will! I will be praying for you and your family in this decision. My heart says fight but I understand your fears. The money will come if it's His will so don't let Satan use that alone to stop you!!!
Kelly,
I love you guys!
Our God brings peace, not confusion. What decision brings peace to your heart and mind? I know that may not be helpful.
I believe God has placed Grady on your heart for a reason.
I heard a preacher once say, "Don't doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light."
I don't know if any of this is helpful or just irritating!
So, just know that I love y'all and I am praying continually for y'all and sweet Grady!
I am praying for God's will to be done. And for you to have peace about the decision.
HUGS!
