Urgent Prayer Request

We are coming to you all today with heavy hearts, asking for you all to pray with us.
We received word yesterday that the DGM(Congo side of immigration) has suspended issuing exit letters.  This means that no families can leave the country with their children.
 
They are saying the suspension will take up to 12 months.  This would slow down our adoption and keep us from getting our kids  for at least a year if they stick to their guns.  We have not yet heard from the U.S. embassy as far as what this means for families who are already through court and have kids waiting in the Congo.
 
We are asking you to pray with us this weekend for comfort and direction.
Please also pray for all these kids who are currently stuck without parents.
There are many families who had travel plans for the next couple weeks to pick up their kids and are devastated at the thought of waiting an additional year to bring them home.
This is unjust and the best thing we can do is cry out to our heavenly Father who has the power to change anything.
