In 1918 there was the Spanish Flu. In 2020 we have Coronavirus or COVID-19. Except for grocery markets, most things have been shut down at least for two weeks, but honestly, it appears as if it will last much longer. China, where the virus originated, is only finally reopening after 2.5 months of lockdown and they are a communist country. With the USA being much more freedom based I am not sure how things are going to go down.
Before all the closures, we started a search for Lily's birth mom. She has expressed an interest for a long time and I never got a sense of when the right time was. Daddy said, let's just do it, so we started. However, now with the coronavirus worldwide, I don't expect to hear anything anytime soon. I have been praying for Guatemala and Lily's biological family that God would keep them safe from harm and provide for their physical needs during this time of no work due to closed transportation etc... Last we heard on the birthmother search was that her birth mother could not be located in either of the two addresses I had provided. No one seemed to know of her in her home village or in the city. Last Friday they were supposed to get some information about a birth sibling. But I haven't heard anything since.
I know God's ways are so much higher than my ways and so I need to trust in that, even though it is so stinkin' difficult!
