We're on our 1st of many
countdowns towards getting our girls home! Our Preliminary Hearing
(PH) is set for this Friday May 31. That's only 5 days! At this hearing they will review our
girls' file & officially deam them orphans so they may be
adopted. From what we've heard, no news is good news after this
hearing. We will hopefully hear something 1-2 weeks after this with
our travel date. We could have a few days notice or a few weeks. It
varies. Also at or shortly after this hearing MOWA (who is like our
children's service) will review OUR file & give their approval
for us to adopt these precious girls. We are praying this goes
smoothly & quickly. We are praying there are no problems, delays
or follow up questions. Praying they do not have ANY issues with
Jeremy's health & that they will simply look at the medical
letter that says he is fit to parent & leave it at that, no
additional questions. Will you commit to praying the same? We are
praying that we will travel by the end of June. We can't wait to
meet our girls. I can't wait to have them in my arms. To hug them &
kiss them to pieces! I can't wait to see all their little features.
Learn their personalities. But I am NOT looking forward to leaving
them for 3-4 months. That will be the worst thing in my life! I'm
trying not to think about that part.
Also just wanted to give a recap of our
fundraising. God has provided non stop throughout this adoption. I
could never have imagined that this would go as quickly &
smoothly as it has. It seems like it's been forever but it's only
been about a year since the very beginning & in the adoption
world that is very quick. God has provided all of the money that we
needed when we needed it! We got a $6,000 Grant from Show Hope the
week before we got our referral. We just got a $7500 Grant from Gift
of Adoption Fund last week in time for our travel! We only need
about $1800 or so for the remainder of our adoption expenses. That
is just amazing! Some of the costs are estimated & won't know
for sure for a while but I have no doubt God will provide this money
when we need it!
Thank you all for your love &
support! I will try to keep you all updated. Also if you haven't
been following since the beginning I do want to apologize for my
writing skills. I am NOT a writer & never claim to be. I just
want to keep you all up to date on our adoption. Thanks for baring
with me!
Also if you didn't see it on Facebook, here's our girls cute feet! (I can't wait until I can post their faces on here!)
Chelsea is on the left & Lina is on right.
