And we are off.....

Mommy and Daddy are coming:)

Tomorrow Tomorrow we are leaving Tomorrow!!

  I don't know where to start this post? I am so overwhelmed we received more donations and are now $588 from being fully funded. It seems so inconceivable I remember sitting in my living room with a group of my friends crying because I was scared about what God had laid on my heart to do. And now we are one day from leaving the US to meet our new children for the first time and we are basically fully funded. We are not going to haggle over $500 when you look at $30,000! Plus we feel that our "total" is a guesstimate anyway based on past adoptions. We are pretty good at living cheaply and plan to continue that in country. So we feel that we can say with a degree of confidence that we are fully funded! Wow so amazing and all the glory needs to go to GOD. Thank you Thank you Thank you for all you have done we have felt so supported and loved.

Meet our boy:)

 Here is an adorable picture of the little boy I spoke of in my last post, we officially committed to him this morning and hope to meet him a week or so after we arrive in his country. I can't wait to put a smile on that sweet serious face! I knew he was mine this morning when I read on the adoption group facebook site that someone else might be interested. I had a panicked moment and thought, "No, they can't have him!" :) We praise God that He is always with us and has guided us in this crazy process. You have a mommy and daddy coming for you!!!
                                                 

We have not decided who will get which name but we plan on keeping Nehemiah and Jeremiah we will make a decision after we meet the boys. Thank you for your continued prayers and support!

Praying Praying Praying

  The title sums up what we have been doing since my last post. We have been praying hard for direction and clarity in so many different areas of our lives. One major prayer is clarity on which child we should bring home. Our hearts are pulled to a little one that is soon to turn 5, in his region he will be transferred to a mental institution as 5 is the "age out" date for the orphanage. I cannot imagine my 5 year old going to a place like that and she doesn't have special needs! Other then picking up our clean unmarked bills from the bank I believe we are ready for our trip, which will make for a long 6 days:) I dread saying goodbye to my children and in a way I want to get it over with.
