We were expecting this, so we have prepared ourselves for this news.
The next step is our last chance at bringing Selah home. And that is the Supreme Court in Kaz. It will take some time to get an appeal date with the Supreme Court. So, we won't have any court updates for awhile. (however, i update this blog frequently- so check back!)
Thank you for your prayers. You may not think your (or our) prayers are working, but they are working in ways you can't see.
Here are some way your prayers are working:
- the unexplainable peace we have,
- the more intimate relationship we are having with Christ,
- our marriage is stronger instead of struggling during this hard year,
- we have a better perspective with Seth and Gage and just how much children are a blessing and not a burden
- We understand now what it means to "trust God"
- We know what FAITH looks like now
- And scripture has become ALIVE to us now.
We love you!

Greta and Shane,
We are sorry to hear another negative verdict! But, God is so good and you are so wise (in so many ways) to be aware of his many blessings in the midst of such heartache. We pray for safe travel and that you are able to ski. Say hi to Keith and Cheryl and all the family for us. We love you guys!!!
You guys are amazing, I am so grateful that He has worked so many ways in your lives. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers daily. Each time I look at Sophia, I think of the struggles that you and each one of your family are going through.
Enjoy your time away, be careful on those slopes! ;-)
Love you,
Teresa
Oh Greta, I'm sorry you got the news you expected and that you still have more to go through to bring Selah home, but your testimony of God's power in your lives during this is incredible. Thanks for being such an inspiration.
Love, Beckie
Dear Greta,
Well, not the answer for which I was hoping. But I'm still believing.
And I am so glad for the eyes you have to see what God is doing in the midst of the wait.
Love you friend,
Karen
I am so proud of you and your wonderful response. You have done a great job of clinging to the truth and allowing God to comfort during this time.
We love you guys so much and are still praying.
Oh Girl, I wish I were going with you to Asheville. I would love to see my family there!!! Have lots of fun and know that we will continue to pray for your family. Lots of love,
Jenn

Hey Greta,
I'm reading your blog to get an update on your precious family. I'm sorry things have not worked out yet for you and Selah, but I am so encouraged by your response to the news. You are an amazing young lady and great mom and I pray that 2009 will be an incredible year for you. God bless you,
Mary Hanes
My love and prayers are with you!
The same thing is happening to me. I just came back from Kazakhstan, after spending 5 weeks with a child, than I went home and wait for a court date, yesterday I received the news that my adoption was rejected! The appeal date end tomorrow, I don't have an attorney, my agency is not helping, could you please give me your attorney info?
Thank you
