As of April 20, 2016 our Dossier was logged into China's database. This is a huge milestone in our adoption journey and we are so excited to finally be at this stage. Our dossier had to go through several stages of review, and we are currently in the "To Be Matched" stage. We are officially waiting to be called about a little boy whom we know God has already CHOSEN for our family. Our Social Worker said the wait could be 3-6 months, but since we are open to a boy then it could be 1-3 months. We moved into the matching stage on June 8th. So only 2 weeks of waiting and we're feeling anxious, but God's word says not to worry or be anxious! And I was reminded of this today while listening to WayFM. I know that He has a great plan for our family, but it is hard waiting...

So while we wait some more...we're gonna keep praying and seeking Him! Would you all commit to praying with us during this waiting period? Pray for patience, provision, wisdom in preparing our other kids for this new adventure we are about to embark on. The kids are super excited about little brother, but as with any new addition to a family it will be a difficult transition on everyone. Pray that we can show them WHY we are adopting this precious boy.

We have a PRAISE!! We have been selected by Lifesong for a $2,500 matching grant! And we've been approved to be a part of a Both Hands project. This organization helps BOTH the Widow & the Orphan like God has called us all to do in James 1:27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. LOVE that verse! We are so excited to get a team together to help a widow in our own community AND to raise awareness for the orphans of the world and help bring our sweet boy home. We will have more information on this project soon. If that is something you'd be interested in being a part of just let us know and we'll contact you soon.

One final note...It's GARAGE SALE time!! We'll be having a Fundraiser Garage Sale on Saturday June 25th! I need to make a filer for it with the address. My sweet friend Jen is hosting it at her house in Thompson Station in a great spot! THANKS JEN!!
