The Beginning of this Journey...

The Lord began this journey towards our second adoption about 1 year ago. He put on our hearts to sponsor Kay - at Harmony Outreach and we did. When i first saw her, i fell in love with her and prayed for her to join our family. It wasn't until May 2008 that the Lord began to use her to open our hearts to adoption again. That was when we had John Bentley from Harmony Outreach (her foster program) staying with us and he told us that Kay was ready to be adopted internationally. We prayed about her and began the adoption process again. Unfortunately, it wasn't in God's plan for her to join our family but He did use her to open our hearts up to adoption again and we are excited to see where He takes us. We are Trusting in Him.

The Lord has brought Maylynn into our lives and hearts on Nov. 21st (that is when we received her referral). We are excited to see Him bring her home to us. Please pray for the rest of our journey. We can't wait to bring Maylynn home...

A quick update...

1. We are still waiting for our fingerprint approval from USCIS - it should be here before Dec. 25th... We'll see:)
2. We have gone ahead and are trying to get some out of state documents certified and authenticated - i hope to have that completed by next week.
3. We signed and returned to our agency the "official" Letter of Intent.
4. We are waiting to hear if we've recieved our pre-approval from CCAA to adopt Maylynn - once we have, i think i can post a pic and send her a package:)
5. We are trying to sell our travel trailer to use the equity for the adoption.
5. We just found out the CCAA is raising the orphanage fee by $2000 dollars - big bummer! Not too sure how that's going to affect us yet... i guess the equity in the trailer will be a "wash"... Oh well.

We are hoping to bring her home in April or May - we'll see what God has planned though:)
