Travel Plans a changin'

Well...as you all know God always seems to have different plans than the one's we think up in our minds. A few weeks ago, we received a notice that someone has made a donation to pay for Rachel's travel to China. Praise God, this is awesome. However, not to be outdone, with me working two jobs we have a good chance of being able to take both Paige and Paris with us, which is great (especially since we really don't have someone who can watch them for 2 weeks). We are not sure how much more we will need as it depends on how I get my severance paid out. A good friend at church has come forward and offered his services and supplies to make survival bracelets for us to sell to help with our expenses. Not only are you getting a really cool bracelet, you are helping with our travel expenses as well!!! Each bracelet has approximately 9 feet of parachute chord which can hold up to 550 lbs. I can't make any guarantee on the colors, but I will do my best to be accommodating.

I-800 Provisional Approval

Just wanted to give a quick update on our status as we have received our I-800 Provisional Approval. We have requested a copy of our NVC Confirmation letter to be emailed to us which should speed the process up by a few days. Based on what the adoption agency is telling us, we will be traveling in about 9 weeks give or take. Please pray that God keeps us on track, and if not, that we can be patient to wait on Him. Here are some pictures of Josiah with his photo album...for your viewing pleasure.

LOA!!!

I have been waiting for 90 days to post this....Our LOA is being overnighted tonight and we should have it tomorrow or Tuesday. Praise God!! I didn't think it would ever come...I thought they forgot about us :)

Thanks everyone for your prayers!!!
