Thank you Thank you Thank you

I am just about speechless but I have to say thank you to the people who have donated and shared and prayed.  Your effort and love has not gone unnoticed!  My FSP (adoption fund) jumped $10,000! I can believe and yet I can because I know that God has been in total control this whole journey! 


God bless each and everyone of you!

Second trip coming up!

I leave in just a few short weeks and well I thought I had all the money for the trip and then there were the requests for extra documents.  Well that put me either right on the dot or short.  I'm getting a approximate of in country cost and looks like I may be a $1,000 short.  :(  


I know my FSP on the side shows over $12,000 however what it doesn't reflect is that the money has been distributed for the the cost from the first trip which left me with just over $3,000 and the now that is being used for the second trip.  


If you are able and willing to help every penny counts and is appreciated.  If you could as I always ask to say a little prayer and share my story I appreciate it more than you know.  I have made many friends through this adoption and love all of you.


God Bless
