Petition to be Delivered--Please Pray

Hi All,

The petition (with thousands of names, yeah!) is going to be delivered to the director of Vietnamese Adoptions (in Vietnam) at 10:30pm our time tonight. Please pray that this is very well received and that the dir. allows adoptions to be continued. There are estimates that over 1000 more Vietnamese orphans would be united with their forever families if all the current families are grandfathered in.

So prayer requests for this week:

1) Pray that the Dir. of Vietnamese Adoptions, Dr. Long, grandfathers in all families in process that had their paperwork in by the July 1, deadline.

2) OR that he'll at least grant an extension until December 31, 2008 for the same in process families.

3) Please continue to pray that we receive an official referral by Sept. 1, 2008. The above 2 prayer requests would benefit all the orphans of Vietnam, but selfishly we'd like our case to not be dependent on these.

A praise:

The family sitting at #1 on the boys list for our agency has received their official referral. Praise the Lord! He's a 10 week old little guy that was abandoned. We're so glad he's going to be united with his forever family.

Thanks for praying,
Shae
