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...

Authentication


Our dossier is ready to go to San Francisco - Off to the Chinese Consulate. Here each piece of paper gets a stamp and comes back to us... We have about 14 documents that i've spent about 2 hrs. making copies of and paper clipping just perfectly...

Kirsten,
So awesome to hear your news about all the blessings! I can hardly believe you are right around the corner from being done with your paperwork and then traveling! I hated lining up all that paperwork for authentification and making copies...it made me really nervous! Our story with Joseph has changed. We are very sad...but I ponder if possibly like you all our story may have a similar outcome in the future.
