The Night Before . . .

For Hope and Faith,

Tonight, as I lay in bed, I find myself unable to sleep.  I feel like a child the night before a trip to Disney World, full of excitement and anticipation.  In about 2.5 months, you should know what that feels like, too.  I look forward to experiencing that and so many other things with the both of you.  Tomorrow should be our final home visit.  The new social worker will come to our home and do a safety check and make sure that we will be a good family for the two of you and any other children who God sends our way.  I have felt all along that you would both be in our arms and home by or before our anniversary, which is Saturday.  You may or may not be, but we know that it shouldn't be long now.

We have heard many say, and we've seen for ourselves, that adoption can sometimes be impossible for families due to the costs involved.  Couples who adopt from foster care don't have the same financial obstacles that others face.  We are still planning to do an adoption and orphan care fundraiser, though.  We will use money from this to do help local children in foster care and to help couples from other countries adopt locally.  It would be simply amazing if we could raise $1000 for this ministry.  We also plan to wear these T-shirts as a family when we go on our Disney trip.  Hopefully, this will also bring awareness to our cause.

We will be sharing the information on these shirts very soon.  View the shirt here ( https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=800455369984667&l=2e2fb46d47 )

I look forward to meeting you both very soon,
Mama
