On Overload

Well...no news to update everyone on. We are now in the "hurry up and wait" part of our paperwork. We are still waiting on NY to send Todd's birth certificate, HOPEFULLY it will come in the mail by the end of the week. I called today to check on our I800A status. The office in TX does not have it logged in the system yet, so no fingerprint cards have been mailed yet. So much for going Friday to get fingerprinted UNLESS God works a miracle. I KNOW everything is OK and believe it or not I am not stressing Because I know GOD has it all in control. I am trying to focus on raising the $7500 we need to move on to the next step. We have to send all of our forms to the state capital, then the US Dept, then on to the China Embassy to get authenticated. Once that is completed, all paperwork will go to our adoption agency to be translated. Then its off to China where we wait to get logged in and then matched with THE child.

I have been working on the blog to make it a little more interesting (was told it looked boring..AR...you know who you are LOL) I added the links to our fundraisers on the side...more to come..so hopefully you will find something you like. Currently, I am doing a 31 fundraiser, Under The Carolina Moon Fundraiser, planning a yard/bake sale for the end of August, and a silent auction. If you need any of these products let me know!

Please keep our son in your prayers.That God will keep him safe until we can wrap him in our arms. Also pray that God will touch peoples heart to donate money. Don't get me wrong...I don't expect everyone else to pay for our adoption. I am working two jobs, doing EVERY fundraiser I think is profitable and desirable, and applying for grants. I can only do so much though...the rest is up to God to provide.

THANK YOU to everyone who has supported us so far. Without your love and support we wouldn't be as far along as we are. I will leave you with a great quote I came across today!

Until next time!
