Wow!!!

I wanted to share with all of you that a little over $2000 came in yesterday!!!!  Thank you all so much for your prayers and donations!!  We can't tell you how encouraged and excited we are to see how God is going to do this.  Please keep those prayers coming.  

We would be humbled and honored to have your participation in bringing our child home to our family.  We still have $5000 more to go and two days left to do it.  In order to pay for our plane tickets and the rest of our agency fees, it needs to be in by Friday morning.  There is a paypal link at the top of this page on the right hand side.  All donations will go directly into our adoption account and be used for the rest of our adoption expenses.

We also haven't received our finalized/confirmed embassy date.  We need that NOW in order to confirm our plane tickets.  Please pray with us.    

Thank you so very much for all that you have done.  This is happening so fast that my head is spinning.  Sweet friends helped me with paperwork and housework yesterday...thanks Toby,Lisa and Leah!  I was also able to pack up most of the Christmas Decorations last night(I didn't want to come home to that with a new baby and jet lag).  I was up at 4am with too much on my mind to sleep so I made another long list and then finally fell back asleep for another hour.  Life is crazy around here:O)

We're going to be running at top speed for the rest of this week.  Will you please pray for my two youngest.  They are going to be staying here while we fly to Taiwan.  My mom will be flying in on Tues evening to take care of them.  We had no idea that we would be leaving this quickly and so she wasn't able to get here before we leave.  Alea has never been away from me for more than two nights, and I'm a little worried about her.  Besides that, this mommy's heart is struggling with leaving my two little's.  Not so much that I don't want to go, but enough that it brings tears to my eyes as I think about my little Alea and the confusion of why mommy and daddy aren't coming home.  We already deal with abandonment issues because of her early life in the baby house in Kazakhstan.  Please pray for her little heart and for her big brother Ethan to be comforted while we are gone too.  He's my easy-going guy and usually takes things in stride, but being away from mommy is never easy:O)  I love my babies....all of them!!  I really need time to spend loving on them, and I don't even have enough time to get all I need to do, done.  Isn't that every parent's dilemma....? 

I seriously can't believe that I will be holding my precious girl in my arms by Monday afternoon!!!  My heart just about jumps out of my chest when I think about it, and my eyes fill up with tears.  I'm overcome by God's Goodness to our family.  To think, just six months ago adoption was just something on my heart, and then SNAP...God brought it to life!!!  

Thank you for following along with us on our journey.  Your prayers are our lifeline....

Lots of Love,

Warren, Jenn & kids
