You may have noticed that a new clock and map have appeared on this page! We can now let you all know that PERU is the country we are adopting from!! This decision was made quite a while ago, but there were some uncertainties. Now we are set, and that is where our paperwork will be sent.
We thought we knew which country God was calling us to, but in His unique way He has brought us to the point where we can abandon our ideas and respond to His leading. China was going to be, and still is for many, a very long wait. There were some uncertainties surrounding Thailand. Our social worker introduced us to the idea of Peru, and with our links with South America, ability to learn some Spanish, a sound programme and the possibility to travel there more easily, we explored further. We believe it is where we are meant to go and are persuing it keenly. (but as always are open to God's direction if things in the country or programme suddenly change, which we really hope they don't!).
Peru only opened last year to the UK, and so there are very few UK families adopting from there at the moment. This means that some of our questions can't be answered, as we are one of the first couples preparing for Peru.We sometimes feel anxious that so much is unknown, but we are trusting God for each step.
We are looking forward to Panel, and are keen to get a decision so that we can move the process forward. Once our papers are translated and sent, we wait!! Yet again, all in God's timing.
