God Answers Prayers!

God has been at work in this adoption! Of course He has, He brought us to this journey and is providing every step of the way. Glory to God! In our last update we said we needed about $5,000 to send our paperwork to China. As of today we still need about $2,400.

This past weekend our sweet friends hosted a Family Dance Fundraiser at our church. We want to give a HUGE Thank You to everyone who helped organize this event for us. Thank you Ryan, Emily, Kim, Brian, Karen, Maury, Brooke, Murray, April, Trey, Esther, Robert, Beth, David, Jenn, Mark, Becca, Aaron, Candace, Brian, Nora, Dave, Sarah, Rick, Angela, Randy, Karla, Jim. I tried to name everyone, but please forgive me if I forgot someone. These are the ones who were behind the scenes working on every detail to make this fundraiser such a success! 

Also a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to the dance on Friday night. Y'all could have been anywhere, but you sacrificed your Friday night to come support our adoption. We are so thankful for everyone who came out to support us in this journey.

The money raised this weekend will help us to send our paperwork to be authenticated and ready for the next step which is sending it to CHINA! We're praying to have this done in a few weeks so that our paperwork doesn't start to expire and have more delays.

I'll be at a friend's church this coming weekend March 4-5 for a Women's Weekend. They had asked if I wanted to sell some of my necklaces at the conference! What a blessing! Pray for all the ladies that will be attending the conference that they will feel God's presence. Also pray that we will SELL OUT of necklaces! ;) We are so close to being able to send our dossier to China! Pray we can be diligent in saving and raising funds to get this done quickly.

Again Thank You for ALL your support!
