Update from Home Study

We received an email from our home study several weeks ago. They said at that point we would not be approved to adopt two children and they would consider whether we could adopt even one. There were some issues they had and they wanted Donna to see five different specialists before they would approve adopting one. We sent an email to our adoption agency and she said she wanted to follow up with the home study group. The adoption agency wanted us to answer the issues the home study had by us sending an email to the adoption agency. The adoption agency called the home study and responded back to us that it seemed there were some communication issues that could be resolved and we should send our concerns to the home study. We sent the same letter to the home study that we had sent to the adoption agency. We received a response back this past Friday, Sept 30, that they had not changed their mind and we needed to have their requests met by October 15 or they will close our case. Trying to get five specialists visits and their reports back in that time is not really achievable and we believe the home study knows this. We are unsure what to do at this point. It seems that even if we could go and complete the visits to the specialists that the home study already has their mind made up. We do not understand this situation but we are leaving it with the Lord. We know He understands every situation we face and He will take care of it. We would appreciate your prayers for where we go from here. We know if this door closes God can open another one. We are still in His hands and ready to obey wherever He chooses to send us.
