It Takes a Village

Well, it's 16 days since we saw our daughter's face for the first time! We've been deep in paperwork and are currently waiting {completely impatiently... I'm not even going to lie about how many times I've checked my email} for her full medical examination that comes with more pictures and videos of our girl!!

As exciting as this time is of preparing for her arrival, there are multiple nights I haven't been able to sleep since her referral thinking about what she's doing at those very moments in an orphanage 10.5 hours ahead of our time zone, thinking about her biological parents, and dreaming about having her home as quickly as possible.

We haven't done any fundraisers in a while and had continued to save. We were really hopeful that we were fully funded to complete this adoption. Unfortunately, the fees in India are a little more expensive than Ethiopia and the travel time is longer. So... We have 2 fundraisers coming up!! God has used the most precious people to help us financially along this journey. They have come in the form of small amounts and HUGE amounts! We will never be able to thank you all enough. It's amazing how much less stressful the financial aspect of adoption has become since we have seen her face. I have confidence that God is going to provide just what we need to

We are so grateful for all the prayers, financial support, and help throughout the last 41 months! We don't know exactly when our girl will be home. We are praying hard that she will be home by the holidays! It's going to take a lot of prayers and a LOT of paperwork miracles, so please join us in praying her home for the holidays!!

Blessings!
