So Many Questions

So many questions having been running through my mind about Selah.  What did she think about finding out she has a family?  What did she think of all the pictures we sent her of us?  Is someone taking good care of her while she waits?  How long is this going to take?  Can we be there before her birthday in the spring?  Are just a few of the non stop questions running around in my mind.  Someday I know we will have the answers.  Until then we wait and pray for her everyday.  God did the calling and someday I expect to find out how He was encouraging her while she waited and wondered if anyone would pick her.  Sounds crazy but I miss her and don't even know her.  That's a God thing!

The Long Silence

This blog has been silent for to long!  The craziness of summer, visiting family, and adoption paperwork/education has kept us BUSY!  We do have some exciting news.  Yesterday we received our PA (pre-approval) to adopt this sweetheart. 

 

 

 

After many name discussions and a family vote her name is.......SELAH GRACE which means "to praise, pause, reflect the grace of God".  Today we have our rough draft of our home study in our hands after 8 long months.  Hoping to get that finalized soon and then on to our dossier since we are now on a ticking 6 month deadline to have that submitted. 

 

Another exciting piece of news is we received our first grant from http://belongandbeloved.blogspot.com/

 

We are hoping to have some fundraisers coming up to help with our expenses.  If have you ideas on that or wish to help with your talents let us know.  There's also a link to our paypal account above if you would like to invest in bringing home a child. 

 

Thanks for all your support and prayers on this exciting journey with all its many twists and turns!
