After our meeting with our agency today Andrew and I have decided that it will be in everyone's best interest for me to wait and go after AP gets out of PGN. I prayed about this last night, and I have peace about our decision. There are many legalities and concerns that we had to discuss with our coordinators, and we all feel better about me waiting. Don't worry, I am fine. No crying and no hissy fits. I trust that God gave me the strength and peace to make this decision. It was making me sick thinking about being away from my boys and Andrew for so long. Now we will be just praying even harder that we get that magical "out" call soon.
Thanks for all your prayers and support,
lou

Awe...Lou...I am sorry, but glad to hear your optimisim. You are SO strong. I remember waiting to bring Annalise home. They told us 4-6 weeks for a court date...It was 12!!! I never thought I would make it. Now it all a distant memory. Your faith and love will get you through this. You are always in my prayers.

Lou,
I am sorry!! I will be praying that you get that call TODAY!!!!
I feel your pain! I am sorry for the change--although you seem to be doing okay. Email me if you need to. I hope everything's okay w/ your case.
I will be praying you get your call SOON!!
Hey Lou - I will be praying for you. I know it had to be a difficult decision but God will continue to give you His strength! I love you!!!
I know this was hard, but it was probably the right decision. I'm praying for you.
Love,
Becky
Lou,
I am praying for you! Call me if you need me! I'll be right here! I know that this couldn't be an easy decision for you, but knowing you, you listened to God and made the right decision!
I am praying that we both get that Magical Call any day now!!!!
Love and prayers,
Karen
Lou,
I am so sorry but you probably made the right choice. I think it would be very difficult when you got there missing yur boys and sweet hubby. I think that she is going to get out so soon. It seems like such a long time but it will fly by.... Hugs Rose
Lou, I am sorry too but so glad that you have such a peace about the decision to wait. I am praying you get the call this week! Praying for strength for you!
God is so good and his plan is perfect and his timing is exact. I too will be praying for you that the phone will ring soon and you will hear the words you have waited so long for. What a glorious day it will be! Stay strong and we look forward to seeing you at church. I had to take Lucy home that day we sat behind you guys and didn't get a chance to talk.
I understand completely. I had the exact conversation with my coordinator. Been there.
I'll be praying for the OUT!
Hey LouLou, I'm so proud of you. Very proud actually. Your faith is getting you through every single step of this process, and our Heavenly Father is glorified in your attitude and your actions. I PERSONALLY (on a very selfish level!!) am glad you won't be gone for so long, but my heart does ache for you at the same time b/c I know how ready you are to hold your precious baby. I look at her pics, and my heart aches, too, but we do know that GOD works ALL things together for those that love HIM (that's YOU!!) I could tell when I saw y'all tonight that Andrew had a sense of peace about him and I know he's glad he won't have to miss you for so long now, too. Anne Pearce is going to be home soon, and we are praying daily for all of you!
lovealee!

Thank you to all my sweet friends for the comments! I love you all so much, and you don't know how much I appreciate all the support you give me. Please keep praying hard that my little AP gets OUT!
love you all :)
Thanks for the heads up on the Maclaren. I've been watching them on eBay just trying to get myself to just buy it already! Maybe if I sell some more stuff this week I'll do it!
I hope you get out of PGN soon and can go down and get your baby girl. She is just precious. The hair!!!!!!!
Lou,
I will continue to pray for AP to get out of PGN very soon! Sounds like you made the right decision for your family, although it was a very difficult one to make. I just know you are going to hear good news soon!
Lou,
I'm so sorry you had to change your plans. I will continue to pray for news soon!
You know I support any decision you make, especially when you feel such peace about it. I KNOW you made the right choice and I know that you feel the same way. I'm proud of you...I really am! You are such a great example to me. Love you BFF :)
Lou:
I am sorry you had to make this decision, but at the same time, I am glad you are at peace with it. For selfish reasons, I am thrilled you will be around this summer. I hope Allison and I can see you at the pool!!!
I believe very strongly that AP will be out of PGN and home soon. I know I was wrong about April :D but I still believe!!!
I so admire your faith and optimism, and can't wait to see AP home soon.

OH Sweety. What a tough decision. I was almost on a plane to foster about 10 times. It was so hard. If I hadn't had another kiddo at home I would have been there. It is the strangest feeling. One half your heart in another country the other half in this country. To me it felt like I was never home. I know that was my own fault. I was not so great about giving it to God. :0) I know you are praying and it sounds like you are doing great. I think jumping on a plane when she gets out of PGN is a great plan. You are doing great. Angel
I know this is hard. You are a wonderful mother and wife. I am praying for you!
oooh Lou--my heart is with you--You are awesome have I told you that lately?!!!! (I am so sorry --I have been a bad blogger lately!) But you are amazing --your strength and courage --Seriously are you the Proverbs 31 woman?!!!!!! :O) You are such a testament to us all!!!! I am amazed by your strength!!! Please know I will be asking Jesus for that OUT!!!! (and stalking your blog like crazy!!!) I love you girlie!!! Hang in there!!!! I will be a prayin for ya!!!! hugs to you many many hugs to you my friend!!!!
You and your family are in my thoughts. Stay peaceful! She'll be home when the time is right. Carolyn and Olivia
((((Lou))))
You are on my heart and in my prayers! I am hope, hope, hoping Miss AP is outta PGN SOON, my friend!
What a tough decision.
Praying AP home,
T
Lou,
I am so sorry you are changing your plans, but understand completely! I am really sorry I will probably not get to meet you! I was so looking forward to meeting you both!
I pray for good news soon for you!
