We are getting our Children!


Thank you so much for praying! In the past week we found out that we are going to get our children! I know that many of you wrote letters and called your congressmen and we are so thankful for you.

As of now both Christian and Gabriella are in "PGN", this is the Attorney General's office in Guatemala. They can be there for anywhere from 1-5 months. In this stage of PGN they will go through all of our documents in detail to ensure the legality of what we are doing. It is not uncommon to get "kicked out" of PGN several times, but each time slows the process down considerably. Please pray that we move through with no mistakes, if this is the case we could have our children sometime early next year.

We are really excited about these new developments. and are hoping that we have the children soon. On the other hand, we are really tired and worn out from the process of adoption/moving and job change. Thanks for all that you do for us and the encouragement that you give!

Dear Ethan and Erika and children,
Wow, the power of prayer! We are so excited for you and know exactly how you feel waiting for your children when they are so far away. It gets very emotional and mind boggling but somehow it also starts the "bonding" process! They just become more precious! They are such cuties and the blessings will abound (along with the trials of course..but isn't it that way with any child!! :)) So keep us posted and we will keep you in prayer!
Hugs,Kay and CJ Verbrugge
P.S. hope your dad is doing better..what an ordeal he had to go through...what a generous heart he has!! I'm sure glad God is in control of all our lives!!

Praise God for this!! I was praying this would be the case! This process will draw you nearer and nearer to the Lord as you wait. Those sweet blessings are worth the wait though!!!
