Heartbroken... But Not Hopeless
Caleb and Isabel's biological parents have taken them back today. It is now a hard day for us and yes we are heartbroken... BUT we NEVER EVER want any of you to give up on this situation or look at it in despair... God is bigger and WE will continue to believe for a miracle. God has a plan here, and He will reveal it in His time. Who are we to qustion God!!?? Many people have been praying, many people still are... and God hears our cries, please continue to pray. If we turn from this situation now and just shrug our shoulders and stay in a state of mourning... we would be forgetting to acknowledge this all is happening for a reason. We won't sit and grind out teeth until it makes sense... that's where faith comes in! We don't HAVE to figure it all out... that is the beauty of faith... it eases our minds, and we refuse to bow to this world and act as though it has won and caused us grief. Discouragenment is a choice! We have the Holy Spirit within us... that means we have all the miraculous strength we need to get through anything... so we don't feel that we need to come to terms with anything... only God knows the terms anyway!! All we ask now is you ask the Holy Spirit to rush to our children (yes... they are still ours) and ease their grief, and keep them healthy and safe. PLEASE pray for THEM!!!! We know you have been praying for us... the peace that surpasses all understanding is falling upon us. Thank you!!! Don't give up on this situation! We aren't! God is good and our faith won't waiver... and contrary to belief... we are NOT in denial... I mean for pete's sake I am crying as I write this, BUT if we give up our hope in God... what do any of us have!!!??? WE WILL NOT be Christians who serve a small God! WE WILL NOT be waves tossed in the sea!!! This world will NOT dictate to us! God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow... He still can part seas, bring the dead to life, release captive and heal the sick... He can still do anything... it's not denial... it's Truth! All our love!!! Thanks for you support!!!! Love Hope and Rob

We will continue to pray & stand with you through this. We will praise Him through the storm & trust that He will bring all of you out of it in ways we can't even begin to fathom or comphrehend. Praying for Caleb & Isabel to remain safe & healthy during this time. Praying that their birthmother will quickly do God's will. Praising God that He has filled you with peace & comfort in the midst of the pain.
Praying that He will continue to hold you & Rob, as well as the children in His loving hands.

Thanks everyone!!! We are so greatful for those who do not dwell on the negative!! For worry is the absence of faith! And we need not appologize for strong faith!!!
What an amazing example you and Robb are to all of us. Praying with you and for you. God has a plan!
PRAYING PRAYING PRAYING!
What a testimony you have! It does happen in God's timing and He has a plan for all of your lives. It's in our darkest times that we need Him the most and what better comforter than the one who knows us best. Thank you for sharing your faith & your journey. I continue to pray for you & the children, as well as their birthparents.
AMEN! His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts!!
i met your children when i first went to Haiti in August. i feel in love w/ Haiti and all the kids (who wouldn't?) and was back again this past week. From the moment i was told about the situation...all i saw was prayer! Every TA staff and board member there took it to the Lord in prayer. know that i am praying as well!!

praise God for your faith in Him. your faith and trust are a witness to everyone of the strength, power and trustworthiness of our GREAT God!
who wouldn't fall in love with those two kids? i'm heading to the O next month and my prayer is that they will be there when I get there. But whatever God's timing...we know His timing is best!
