Dear Friends and Family,
We found out from our adoption agency on Friday that the children having the cleft lip surgery at our orphanage are being taken over to the hospital in groups of two. This means that only two kids each week will be in the hospital, so that there are only two nannies at a time away from the orphanage.
John wasn't in the first group taken to the hospital. But our adoption agency has asked that John be placed in the next two-person group so that he can fully recover before we pick him up. He may be having surgery as early as tonight (Sunday evening) or tomorrow night our time.
Please pray that John's surgery goes well and that God would give wisdom and skill to the medical personnel doing the surgery and treating John.
Please also pray that John recovers quickly enough so that his surgery doesn't delay our being able to go pick him up. We have prayed for months that we could travel with our good friends, Keith and Rhonda Johnson (who are adopting a baby boy from the same province), and we are so hoping that John's surgery won't prevent this from happening.
Blessings,
Ron and Laurie
P.S.: Thank you for your prayers for John this past week, as we all thought his surgery happened a week ago last Thursday-Friday. We and our adoption agency were misinformed by the people from his orphanage as to what was happening. We did not find this out until late Friday afternoon – as you can imagine, we can’t wait to be in charge of his medical care.

Thanks for keeping us updated! You're right...Jesus is John's Greatest Physician and will take great care of him until he is in your arms! Welcome to one of the many joys of motherhood...aching hearts because they are so full love for our children. Praying in Lubbock! Ruth
