Where to begin?

We decided to start a blog to keep all of our friends and family members up-to-date on where we are at in our adoption process. With things moving so quickly right now, it is hard to keep everyone up to speed! This will also be a great way to keep everyone connected when we are away (provided we have access to a computer!)
We have all paperwork completed and ready to go...we have our visas and we are just getting everything ready for travel.

Those who want to donate to the orphanage, we just need to have the stuff to us by the 29th of January, so that we can get everything packed (and repacked :-) )
For any still interested, we received an email from with some immediate needs of theirs:

• Formula
• Diapers
• Baby Cereal
• Wipes
• Bulk Foods
• Financial Donations to purchase supplies

We also just wanted to send a thank you to all of you who have given to us financially, and to those of you who have given us supplies that we needed. We are often reminded of the verse in Ephesians, "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." At the beginning of our adventure, we had it all planned out. Needless to say, God had our path already planned and it wasn't what we had mapped out. It is God's goodness that our plans changed, it reminded us that it is Him who plans the day, not us. The most recent change being the need for us to stay in the country for 3 weeks in stead of 2. We had everything budgeted down to the penny and this extra stay threw everything upside down, BUT God, proved faithful, in that we were supplied (down to the penny, I might add) with financial support from fellow believers! We were also given the extra supplies that we would need to stay that extra week. And for that, we want to return all glory to Him! We hope you all find encouragement in His work! God has supplied us with more than we asked for and more than we could ever think of...He is good to us!
