Waiting on the assignment

We are awaiting the assignment of three siblings and barring anything unexpected these boys will soon be ours. We should have the official word in two to four weeks. We can't post specifics yet but hang in there...Sunday Will Come.

"Sunday Will Come"

"We all have our Fridays. Whether it is waiting on paperwork, waiting for a referral, waiting while your chosen country’s program either has a slowdown or a total shutdown, we all have days during our adoptions where we feel we just can’t take another delay or wait for one more day. I can offer you one assurance, however; Sunday will come. Just as the day of Christ’s crucifixion was the darkest mankind had known, on Sunday morning He was resurrected, offering an eternal hope to the world. As surely as day follows night, Sunday will come. Sunday will come in your adoption process as well." http://siblings.adoptionblogs.com/weblogs/waiting-for-your-child

"Each of us will have our own Fridays--those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays. "But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death--Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come. "No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, Sunday will come. In this life or the next, Sunday will come."Joseph B. Wirthlin, "Sunday Will Come," Ensign, Nov. 2006, 30
