Well, We have the checks mailed and the paperwork all copied and mailed. With the exception of a VERY important piece we can't seem to find. Please pray that God will help someone find it here or in Haiti. God knows where it is hiding! :)

Happy Mother's Day to ALL! This year has brought us a very special surprise. I have been blessed with a new child in our family. I love EVERY one of my children. They all are very different and need different things from me as a mom - but I am honored to be on this life journey with each one of them. For as long as I can remember this is all I wanted to be when I grew up. I am living out my childhood dreams - and with my kids I am living out some of my childhood too. We are sharing the joy of the day together and I am so in awe of what God has done. With any child there is a whole bag of emotions - from the ups and downs of what is ahead I am praying that God gives me what I need for each of my kids. I am trying to be the best mom I can be! What a LIFE - thanks for helping our family live it out! Friday, May 6, 2011
Friday update #2
The first deadline has been met today!!!! I can hardly believe how God has provided for our family. Rose will be part of our forever family and we are now +1 more.
I LOVE SEEING GOD MOVE MOUNTAINS!!!
Philippians 4:19 &20 19And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Next steps: Get this rolling and start saving and doing fund-raising events for the remaining amount - $3,430 for the immigration attorney and who knows how much for the adoption attorney($4,000-$10,000 more). We are ALREADY on our way to that. God is bringing our little girl home. :) ****If this is your first time here please read our first post for Rose's adoption story!~****

To reach the 7,500 dollar goal we had this week we have only 215 left~ YES ONLY $215.00
Sending the check off today to start with Immigration and the remainder to the other attorney Monday morning to give a chance for the checks to clear.
I am in awe of God's provision for our family. He is the one who is making this work out. Trusting in him has taken on a whole new meaning! Thank you to everyone who felt led to give for doing so! I really am speechless. We spent the day with Rose yesterday meeting the cousins and Auntie Dawn. After that she fell asleep with her head on my shoulder I just cried with joy in my heart. I feel honored to have such an amazing little girl in our life.
THANK YOU!

Tuesday
We are working to file the paperwork with both Attorneys by Friday. We are thrilled to announce that we have 5380.00 left to raise for the week. Some still laugh and go how in the world do you expect to make that happen and I shake my head and continue to pray. We have poured in every penny into the first expenses and have given all we have. We are thankful for everyones help in the process of adopting Rose and couldn't do it without the extra financial support.
Someone sent us some encouraging scriptures on Facebook and I thought I should share them with you, "Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.” and 2 Chronicles 15:7 "But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded" All of God's blessing! (someone I don't even know)"
This continues to be God's story for Rose and our families part in that - the journey he has prepared us for. As our family grows closer together and leans in on God - I pray that it would be an encouragement to anyone who hears this. That God cares for each one of us and that he is preparing the way even if we are not aware of it.
