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...

Just waiting...

Well, it's been a week or so since my last post- so i thought that i'd update on what's been going on...

On the adoption front, we are trying to wait patiently for our TA (Travel Approval). Our agency said this week - we are hoping early this week but we'll see:) Please pray that we hear something today or tomorrow:) We have tentative plans to travel on July 18th but if we don't hear soon about our TA then it may be the following week. Oh, and our airfare has turned out to be a bit more that originally thought:( It may be more like $4500 instead of $3000 that we were planning on... oh well, it's just $$:)

This past week has been interesting - i received final notice that my budget will be cut for my Co-Op preschool program that i oversee and where I teach parent education at the Community College. It has some good and bad things that go along with that: good= i get to be at home more with the kiddos and the bad= Taylor may not get to got to private school next year. We are still praying about this to see what God has planned... Also, on Thursday someone broke the rear window out of my car at the Court Club - luckily, nothing was taken and it was fixed very quickly the next day! Just a little bit of a pain but it all worked out okay...
