Kay's Orphanage is coming to get her...

On Friday, we also found out from Harmony Outreach that Kay's orphanage (where she was originally placed in) will be picking her up on Oct. 27th to take her back there so she can be adopted to her family on Nov. 10th. Harmony tried really hard to talk them into waiting until after i came but they insisted on the 27th.

At first i was really sad - i am still dissappointed that i will never be able to meet the precious little girl that we wanted and tried to adopt into our family. We know now that God used her to get us to this place in our lives - for us to adopt again. To trust Him and to have faith that His plan will be revealed soon.

After praying about not meeting her, i have come to realize that the Lord doesn't want me to be distracted while i am on this journey. He has waited 3 years to send me on this trip. He wants me to be able to focus on the work that He has planned for me and to be able to do it whole heartedly. ----- I do have a friend here that happens to be adopting from the same agency as Kay's family and will more than likely be meeting up with her and her family at the White Swan. So, i am praying that they will be able to meet and give Kay's family our contact information:)

Kay's Adoption Day is Nov.10th

Oh my, my, my... I am so glad to find out that Kay will still be at Harmony when i'm there in 10 days!!. However, I just found out that Kay will be adopted to her new family too, while i am there on Nov. 10th. I am so, so, very happy for her. Even though it will probably be very hard on my heart, i really would like to be there when she meets her new family. Please pray with me if this is God's will. I would love to meet her new family.
Also, i am trying to think of a simple meaningful gift for her and her new family. I know that i've never actually met her in person, but i do feel that she has been in our family for the past year as we have sponsored her, prayed for her and have tried to adopt her. So, if you have any ideas - please let me know ASAP!! :):)

Fingerprints!

Fingerprints!!On Tues. Oct. 14th, Lance and i headed to Yakima for our 8am appt. to do our I800 USCIS fingerprints. They have come along way in the past 4 yrs! Now it's all computerized - no inky mess! The people were very friendly despite the intimidating entrance - Before you could even walk into the building a guard came out to check our appt. letter and then made us turn off our cell phone before we could enter and walk through the metal detector. After that, it was all smiles and very friendly people:) I'm feeling like we need to maybe start a blog for our next daughter and how our journey began for her - but that will have to wait until a later date!! :)

Happy Birthday Kay...

Kay
On Monday, it was Kay's birthday (same as mine:)). We had sent her a package of birthday presents a few weeks ago. Harmony Outreach is so sweet, they sent us some pictures of her opening her presents and celebrating her birthday. They also sent a picture of her family that will be adopting her. It is a couple from Iowa. I still havent' found out if she will be there while i am there in a few weeks...
