Where to now?

Friends,
This is to let you know that we are completely sane! Yes, we want 6 kids........Yes, our 2 boys, 2 Ethiopians girls and 2 Ukrainian girls. During this past summer, we hosted these sweethearts and fell deeply in love with them. Most people have no idea about this part, but it is important for us to share.

During the late spring, we were really at a stand still waiting for information about Emili and Abigail....Not knowing if we would even be able to continue on, if the country was going to close or what......That lead us to not really knowing which direction to go. We listened to God and these little ones fell right into our laps. It had became more and more apparent as to what Gods plans were to us. We were intended to be their forever family.....But how? We have paid out of pocket our entire Ethiopian Adoption for one child and our church family helped along with Show Hope Grant to pay for 1/2 the second child. Now, here we stand again. Wondering, how am I going to afford another adoption?

I have friends who are helping from all angles and doing us favors to help off set the cost. Still, I sit wondering and worrying about how can I get them home to me. Nothing is free. The last adoption we have sold everything not in use, a car, jewelry, ATV, 3 TV's, Oak table and chair set, Video games and systems and had fundraisers. Now, what is next? God has plans and I know it but it seems very cloudy now as to what they are. I have applied to 3 agencies about assistance in the way of grants. I am waiting to hear from them. I ask for you to pray for the Lords will to be done.

I am working on some more fundraiser ideas.
