The paperchase has began :O)))

Ellie and friends
With the new FBI prints beginning processed and soon to arrive back this week we go to the next step.  
All the new documents have been printed up and waiting for signatures and notary seals.  Next updated medicals for both Gary and I, 4 new marriage licenses/with apostles and our home ownership paperwork.
One document at a time and we will soon be able to send off our remaining documents for our Dossier.   This is our little fancy pants in the middle. I can not wait to travel this winter to meet her and her brother Clyde.  The kids at home are very excited that this next year both children will be home shortly after Christmas.  Counting the months till we are able to travel to meet the both of them.   During this time we are working on saving the funds for our travel and team fees.  Believe or not I have already started a check list on what we will need to bring with us.  Traveling in the winter many heavier luggage and extra luggage.. Each extra piece will add up quickly.  Our FSP on RR is still standing the same and we are in great need of the funds to travel and pay both children's facilitator fees.  Praying for a miracle in funds to help us over this mountain of worries.  My worries I hand over to my Lord to guide us through our adoption of these little ones....

No words

There are just some days where there are no words that can  take away from pain and heart ache. This pass week we were robbed, our precious cat got ill, once again funds lost.  Still we are blessed.  A neighbor is killed by two young man breaking into a neighbors car, a man loses his girlfriend and his unborn son a day before his child is delivered.  My friend's baby girl has open heart surgery and she waits outside the recovery room, a baby boy takes his last breathe and my son struggles to live another day. Very hard to understand why bad things happen to good people and little children.  A 14 year old girl with a headache dies within three days of being diagnose with a rare form of cancer.  Her mother struggles to understand why her daughter had to be chosen to earn her wings.  So much potential, and such a beautiful young woman with the kindest heart.  Today I watched as my 5 year old daughter looks into a mirror and then ask if her doctor ...

Butterflies

Even old people get butterflies. As our newest little 9 year old points at the ceiling and out comes her first words in English to me. Butterflies Momma, Butterflies... In the dead of winter with temperatures of 20 below I stare at the ceiling.  Not thinking I look up. In the spilt second in time my mind wonders.  Even in an orphanage a child can have humor and imagination.  Maybe being caught off guard or in the moment it makes a person think. On the outside of this old worn out building a few dying bushes.  And from the street it looks like any other old building. The caregivers and other children inside are the only family they had for years. This is the only place our children knew as home. I love spring and soon butterflies will fill the air.  Maybe the Windows will open and a few of these fragile flying angels  will fly inside.  For many of these children seeing a butterflies will be only through a panel of glass. This year marks 2...
