“Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.” -- Victor Hugo Patience

It used to be on here, but it has been lost in the much older posts.....I need it this week!

LID!!!

We are officially in the last long waiting period! LOAs seem to be coming approximately 90 days after LID, so we're hopefully looking at LOA in June, and maybe traveling in July. If it goes into August, we have some decisions to make. Emma starts kindergarten on August 12th, and I would really hate for her to miss her first day. This is slightly stressing me out! I am not sure what we will do if that happens..............only one person traveling to get Nina, or delaying Emma's start of kindergarten, which quite frankly, I'm not even sure that the school district will let us do. Anyway, your prayers for travel in July are greatly coveted!!

With every bit of good news comes some bad, right? Our source of major funding for the adoption has notified Roger that he will not be able to live up to his end of the deal. So, things get interesting. We have received one grant, been turned down for one, and are still in the running for Shaohannah's Hope. Would you please pray for us that SH will help us? We would greatly appreciate it! We still have faith that God is going to see us through this process for HIS glory!!

Hope that everyone is doing well!! The weather here was beautiful today, and we are promised some very springlike weather for the rest of the week! :)

Can you believe it??? More Pictures!!!!

New pictures received today! Hong Li, a.k.a Nina Faith, is enjoying the cake and gift that we sent her with her friends. I highly recommend Red Thread China for anyone who is thinking about sending a care package to their child. Ann has been so wonderful!!

She's Smiling AND Looking at Our Pictures!!!! :)

She's looking at her new family, and she STILL looks happy! This is SUCH a blessing, and SUCH as surprise!! Our cup overflows!! Come on LID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
