Here we go again...

Well... no birth certificate. I just found out that the Civil Registry will not issue a birth certificate because they want to make sure PGN says it is okay to do so since we were approved by a judge instead of by them. News flash... they will not be okay with it, hence the article that came out Labor Day. As you may remember, our name and case was listed in the Prensa Libre as one of the 10 cases they did not want to be approved. At this point I don't know what to say or do. If this were a movie script being submitted to a director, it would never make it to the big screen because it is so unbelievable! Please pray that God will intervene and Bella will come home this year.

I don't even know what to say. What can we do, Amanda? Tell us what we can do and it's DONE.

I'm so sorry Amanda. It seems like one step forward and two steps back. All we can do is keep praying. There is nothing I can say to make you feel better, but please know that you, Jeff, Jake and Bella are in our constant prayers.

Dawn said...

Praying with you because I don't know what else to do. I'm praying they will have blinders on and sign Bella's case through.

Susana needs to have those morons arrested at the Civil Registry. Do they not UNDERSTAND that this is a baby they are dealing with? They need to stop all these games and let her come home. I really hope she plays hardball with them. This is ridiculous. (((((((((HUGS)))))))

Amanda, I am so sorry there is yet another roadblock. I am praying every day for your family and that Bella will soon be home with you. Is there anything besides praying I can do to help?

Amanda, I am so sorry. The only thing I know to do is to pray, and pray is what I am doing. I have also added you to my church's prayer chain. Someone around the clock will be lifting up your family to our Heavenly Father. If I can do anything else please don't hesitate to tell me.

txkdlI don't understand any of this. I really don't. At this point - I feel like my encouragement is empty and useless. The only thing I feel I can give you of any good is the word. The unchanging powerful true word of God.

Psalm 27: 1-4 from the Amplified Bible.

"The Lord is my light and my Salvation - whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the refuge and Stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came to eat up my fleash, they stumbled and fell.
Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, in this will I be confident.
One thing have I asked for of the Lord, that I will seek, inquire for, and insistently require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord (in his presence) all the days of my life, to behold the beauty (the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness) of the lord and meditate,consider, and inquire in his temple."

I love you and I am standing in this fight till OUR sweet Bella is home. The victory is the lords!

Amanda --I have been following even though I don't always comment You have been sooo heavy on my heart today--here is a little story

When the DOS issued their warning I felt the floor drop out from under me (the thought of not being grandfathered thru was more than I could wrap my brain around) and I begged God to please please bring my baby home, I then started bargaining and telling him he can everything my house, my health anything just please bring him home----------I then settled down and said okay I going to trust this IS going to be okay!--Amanda I have thought of you all day I have no idea how you have made it this far I only went thru one day of the what if's and I felt like I was going to vomit all day ( so sorry to write that!)I am a born again believer in love with Jesus Christ but adoption is for the toughest! I admire you strength, courage, fight, and just your will to get up everyday and keep fighting to bring her home--You are amazing and such a woman of Faith!!!!!!!! I feel like you are in the thick of spiritual warfare and you have not once given up! Amanda if there is anything --anything at all I can do please please let me know I am praying for you and your beautiful Bella --------hgus to you my sister in Christ many hugs to you xoxxoxo
