No luck

Jade heard today that her request for expedite her application was denied. She is leaving 2 weeks from today and will try to get it changed in China. She feels it is best for her to go back to China and try to change it there because it will cause less problems with the exchange program, and her/and family's reputation in China. It has sadden us greatly knowing that in 2 weeks she is leaving and not knowing if she will be able to come back in August. Sometimes we don't understand why things are happening the way they are, but I also believe everything happens for a reason and it will work out for her. Please continue to pray for her and also for a dear friend of ours that has found a child in China that they would love to call her their daughter, they ran into an unexpected snag in their adoption process that is preventing them at the moment to be able to pursue her, they are working very hard to fix the snag. This family has so much love, they have 7 beautiful children and had just return home with an 8 yr old daughter this past December who was born in China.
