4 just sounds so much cozier....

As many of you know, we began this process in hopes of adopting a little girl. We have always said from day one that we would never split up a family, therefore if she had a sibling, we would bring them home as well. However, we were not at the time requiring a sibling group.

As we continued on this journey of adoption, we both felt led to adopt not just one, but to adopt two. As of now, we are waiting for a sibling group!!!!!! We are still looking to adopt a little girl under two, but we are ALSO looking for a child under the age of five.

Yup, four kiddos!!

Please join us in prayer as we take the next steps in our journey. There is an even greater financial commitment in doing this, but we are sure this is where the Lord is leading us. If HE is leading us in this direction, then we know HE will provide the finances.

The boys reactions...

We have been astonished in how much money has come in for this adoption already. We have raised $8,639 to date. We are awaiting our i600a paperwork from USCIS. Once we have that, we can submit our dossier. With all of your generous donations, we have all of the dossier fees covered!!! Once we submit our dossier, we are eligible to accept our referrals. At that time, we will finally be able to see our sweet babies' faces!! However, with that we will also need to hand over $13,400. And guess what, we don' t have it. Are we worried? No. Are we actively pursuing options and grants? Yes!

Please, please, please be praying for us as we await word from various grants and future fundraisers. We have included a chipin link on the left that you can donate at any point. We will keep that side bar updated as information comes in.

Time-line?? To be honest, we don't really know. We are part of a pilot program, so there are no guarantees (are there really ever in adoption!?!?) Our prayer is that we will be able to submit our dossier by February, but we really do.not.know.
