             (how much will it be today???)

And if that isn't amazing enough news, last night we also received our confirmed AIT(embassy appointments) for Mia's visa!!!  Finally...now we have to book hotels and confirm flights.  Lots to do today!

Seriously, can you believe it???!!!  In two days we are down more than half of what we need.  I forgot to mention it, but the $1500 left of our agency fees would count as a tax-deductible donation for someone if they wanted to use it.  A complete stranger(until yesterday) donated $500 for that tax deduction.  If you are interested in doing that, leave me a comment with your email or phone number or message me on facebook, and I'll contact you with the information.  All comments are private and will not be published with your private information.  It's a win-win situation:O)  You get a tax deduction, and Mia gets a mommy and daddy:O)  See how that works, lol!  I Love it!!    

God is so Amazing!!  So many people are saying that their faith is growing as they watch this journey to Mia.  I have to say, so is mine!!  It hasn't been easy, and mostly it has just been terrifying.  We KNOW that God told us to step out in faith, believing Him, and that He would provide every penny.  And Look How He's Doing It!!!  Through all of you!!!  What a blessing you are to us!!! 

God's heart is to place the orphan in a forever family.  And He likes to do it big.  He wants more people to be encouraged to trust Him and step out in faith to adopt.  I guess that's why this journey is so crazy and exciting.  He wants others to get excited as they watch Him pour out His lavish provision on His children.  He's a good daddy.  And kind.  I love knowing that He has been with my Mia this entire journey and has taken care of her.  And in the process He has taken care of me too.   

I'm so blessed and humbled to receive such a precious gift.  His heart is that a child is never orphaned, therefore He makes sure that there is a redemptive plan if they are.  He says that He is the Father to the Fatherless...Pray with me that others would step out in faith and trust God to adopt.  Our children truly are the greatest blessings of our lives.

Thank you all so very much for your prayers, encouragement and support.  We couldn't do this without you!!!

Lots of Love,
Jenn
