Calling all Prayer Warriors

I have a special bond with 2 ladies that I want to share with you. Both are adoptive moms and I want to share their stories so that you can join me in prayer for both of their families.
One of my best friends is Dawn. They are in process with their second adoption from Guatemala. Their first adoption was a tough one - they received their referral two weeks before we got Sarah's and brought Callum home a full year later. They never dreamed that it could be as bad this time around. Unfortunately, they have hit road block after road block. The newest snag is Guatemala missing part of their paperwork (again!) and the US Embassy adding yet another dna test to the process. Please pray for them - if they didn't have that sweet little boy waiting for them on the other side of all of this, they would have given up long ago. They have had Nicolas' referral since November with no idea when they will get to bring him home. My heart just aches for them!
The second family is the Windsors. They are one of the families that has been waiting with us, watching others get LOAs while we wonder what is going on. While our news on Friday was good, theirs wasn't. It seems that their dossier never made it to the sn room but was logged in as nsn and has sat with the 30,000 other nsn dossiers since April. They have no idea when they will get an LOA or how much longer they will have to wait. We are praying for a miracle - that God will see fit to expedite their file and let their little Nate come home!
Both of these ladies love the Lord and know that God has things planned out perfectly. They have both been through the adoption process before - they get it. But they are both aching to hold their little boys and are tired of the mistakes and missteps of others. Please lift them in your prayers and pray for the little boys who are waiting for their forever families!
