Okay, I was an emotional wreck this morning because of my meeting but it went really well actually! I'm just needed to interpret a little bit more then what I do. It's a little scary because my expectations are now a little higher but I'm always up for a challenge! I have other huge, life changing news! A couple months ago we looked into special needs adoption because of my work with my little special needs girls at Mars Hill but we got discouraged because of the cost and so for now, until God maybe opens the door again it's not an option. After a couple weeks and it was almost completely out of our minds we received an e-mail from a lady in our church! Does anyone remember when Bethany Christian Services helped bring The Lost Boys from Africa and put them into foster homes? Well, it's happening again only in Burma! To make an incredibly long story short, we have started the paperwork and process of becoming a foster family!!! And things are moving so quickly it looks like we should have our kids the end of April!!! We are praying for a boy and girl, 2 or 3 girls or a couple girls. We really can't get just boys because I'm home alone a lot and it would be really inappropriate for me to be home, alone with a bunch of teenage boys. After all our paperwork and home study and other stuff is done we just wait for a call! Prayer requests:
We are frantically remodeling our house! So please pray we get it done by the time kids are available to us.
For our kids traveling safety because the only thing they're told is get off the plane in America and go with whoever is there! They aren't told anything about us!
Pray for the kids and us because for the first 6-12 months these kids speak 0 English! And pray that we'll all adjust well!
I'll keep you posted!
