Hi everyone, The Adoption Prayer Group is a support group utilizing the power of prayer. If you want to join I will assign you a prayer buddy and all you have to do is simply include that person in your prayers. Very simple-yet powerful!!!

This Week?s Events:
Praise: Zanymermaid: She passed her comprehensive exam ? she now has her master?s in library and information science! She heard from her social worker this week ? the home study should be finished by the middle of May. Please pray that all goes well!
Bhead81: Her pink eye is finally gone and B is on the mend!
Joe?s Sweet Pea: They brought their daughter home on March 9th!
Special Prayer Requests: Please let me know if you have any prayer requests.
Layafette Girl: Please keep her in your prayers. She is really struggling right now. The Easter holiday and seeing the children doing Easter egg hunts has made her sad. Holidays can be especially difficult for those of us who are waiting to become parents. Please pray for strength, patience, and faith for her.
Katybug_h: She and her DH are scheduled to meet a sibling group on April 21st. Please pray for patience and wisdom on their part as they are deciding whether or not they should pursue them.
Bhead 81: She was laid off from her job this week. Please pray that she will be able to find a quick replacement.
Zanymermaid: Her dog is experiencing a sprained neck. Please pray that he heals quickly!
Welcome new members! Please welcome Amyaggie 97!
Reflection for the day: 1 Corinthians 13:13: There are three things that last for ever: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of the three is love.
Question of the day: This is National Infertility Week. If you have dealt with infertility, what do you wish your family/friends would have done to be more supportive during your struggle with infertility? I wish that people would have realized that wanting me to become pregnant would not have made me become pregnant.
Group updates: -If you have any upcoming events (appointments, birthdays, anniversaries, etc) be sure to let me know so I can post them in the events section!!

Re: Adoption Prayer Group
Update: We submitted our contract to the agency this week and have started gathering the mountain of paperwork needed for the home study. We should be able to send it off next week or the week after.

I wish that people would have realized that wanting me to become pregnant would not have made me become pregnant. This!! Or by telling me their stories about how people would "relax" or start the adoption process and then it will just happen. Thanks, but I don't think that's going to make my ovary start working....
