On Tuesday 9th June we heard news that Peru may be suspending international adoptions from the UK. We were of course worried, confused and saddened. Yesterday we prayed, a lot!!
My wonderful husband had heard from God 2 years ago, unknown to me, about these two dates. He had written them down on a piece of paper, dated and sealed, in 2007. He was not sure why they were significant. How amazing is that? God knew that I would need to know He is in control, He saw this coming, and He is at work.
So please join us in prayer. Today I found out that Peru is indeed suspending, but the government here is hopeful that we will be allowed through before they do. They are not closed, just suspended. We are not sure what the future holds but we are praying that :
- God directs each of our steps
- He works a miracle- where the impossible becomes possible
- the 9th would be a birth, a commencement and a bringing forward of God's plans
- we can pray like Sarah: Is there anything to hard for the Lord?
- it will increase our fervour, passion and faith
- even though we feel small/weak, we would know that God sees this as His opportunity to work His way in His power, (like David with Goliath or Gideon and his small army) it is no matter for God
- we will come to see how our prayers get answered, even through there may be delays (like Daniel talking to Angel Gabriel)
(based on words given to us through prayer and the prayers of others)
Saviour, He can move the mountains,
Our God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save!
Thank you,

My husband and I are also adopting from Peru. We are in the US. I haven't heard that they are suspending adoptions. Is this really true?
Thanks!

Yes but only new applications from certain countries. Peru was only open to the UK last year, and so far no one has got as far as sending papers to them (the process here takes a while!) so they are suspending. But the US, like many countries have been adopting from Peru for years, and the programme is well established, not NEW. Therefore you are ok. Check the SNA web site to be sure, but that is what we have been told. Don't panic!!
