The big car wash is Saturday!! 10-2pm We have been so blessed with volunteers to wash or make signs and borrow buckets. We are praying for great weather and to spread the word about adoption in general. If we can show God's love to a stranger we have had a successful car wash!
No real big news otherwise just waiting for the phone call. On a side note and in an effort to be truly transparent. We will be leaving next week to go on vacation. We planned and paid for this vacation in January before we even dreamed we would be adopting. This summer we looked into cancelling or being able to transfer the reservation to another family (so we could do an adoption give away) but we were not allowed. It is a use it or lose it deal. In late June, Joey's company told him he could not go on our vacation due to the travel that would be involved with the adoption. I was so very upset. I look at this trip as the last family vacation before life gets very hard. Our four wonderful biological children have been amazing through this journey but they deserve our time and attention as well. We will be traveling out of the country for a LONG time and afterwards much of our attention and time will be spent with the new little boys. Anyway....I prayed and prayed that God would allow a way for Joey to go on this trip. Well....He did:) In His own mysterious way! So we will be leaving for a week to Florida spending a few days at Disney and a few days just relaxing.
As I stated before this trip was pre-planned and payed for no money we receive goes to any of our "family" expenses. We have a separate account set aside for donations that are given directly to us, our FSP is controlled by Reece's Rainbow and our Lifesong Grant is controlled by Lifesong. Just wanted to be clear!:)
