Encouragement

What an encouraging verse while waiting for God to show and lead us to our children!

But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day. Habakkuk 2:3

Coffee Cont.

I would have been really helpful if I had included the link to our page. That is why you should proofread!

Coffee

We also wanted to let you know of a current and ongoing fundraiser that we are having. I posted on the last blog on the sidebar the information for a coffee fundraiser. I realize that an actual posting would have been better! Live and learn.

There is a very generous company Just Love Coffee that help families raise money for adoption. We have our on webpage/store that you can go to purchase coffee. We will recieve $5.00 for each bag of coffee or merchandise purchased!

Another great thing about this company is most or all of the coffee is purchase from small farms in Africa. Obviously a place very close to our hearts. They are a participator under the fair trade agreement.

We have on good authority that it is VERY GOOD coffee. Those of you who know us personally know that we are not coffee drinkers. Maybe we should become coffee drinkers. This would be an excellent place to start.

Update

Hi Everyone,

Sorry we haven't been posting much lately. Nothing really new on the adoption front. Our friend is looking into the possibility of us working with an agency. They are new to Ugandan adoptions. They are a well established agency that has facilitated dometic adoptions. The information we have recieved on them has been very positive. Many satisfied families. We have heard that they will fight for a family to get thier child home! We will keep updating as we find more information on them.

We are holding off on filing immigration until we are sure that we are either going with this agency or with a lawyer. That is essential information that we need.

Specific prayers that God will guide us to the proper avenue to pursue this creation of our family.

It is difficult to wait, however more than ever we are learning to lean on God and place full trust in him. Trusting in his plan and his timing (even though we would like it to be a little faster).

Spaghetti Dinner

Hey,
Due to the tragedy in Haiti the spaghetti dinner is being postponed. All those involved feel that there is a much more immediate need for contributions.

We will announce the new date when it is determined. Thank you to all who plan to attend. The anticipation will make it that much more yummy!

We are asking for prayers for all the people in Haiti. A special set on our hearts are the families who were in the process of adopting a child/children there. I am sure the anguish and uncertianty of the childs health and survival must be heartwrenching.

Welcome

We just want to thank everyone who was a follower of our previous blog for having patience with us as we shift to a new faze in our "adoption story".

We are at a point where we are experiencing a fresh start. We are still pretty much at the same place we were before just without specific children. We are excited to see what children God has waiting for us!

We will try to move some of the posts from the original blog for those of you who are newly following us. Especially "our story" part one and two!!

We look forward to this new path that God is taking us on in this crazy journey. We are grateful for your prayers and support. We are happy that you are taking the time to keep up with our adoption story through our blog.
