I Am Humbled

I am humbled by the strength of this woman.
I thought that we waited an eternity to bring our girls home, but Christina and her family have suffered a horrible hit in their wait to bring their daughter home. Ticket bought, bags packed, family ready to leave in 48 hours and they receive word that they will not be able to bring their daughter home due to a need for TB testing. They traveled still, and are in Ethiopia now, but are unsure if it will be another 2 months or a closer to a year before she can come home.
This family and our own have supported one another as we have traveled through adoption paths together. They are an amazing couple, with two beautiful children and I hope will all my heart that a miracle is possible for this family that already so adoringly loves thier little girl.
Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers this week. Heartbreak like this is.... well, impossible to measure.
