Children's Hope Calls...

Today, I received a phone call from Sara at CHI and she wants us to get new Medical Clearance letters from our doctors. She stated that when you travel they expire within 6 months when they were written. Our medical exams were one of the first things we did when we started the adoption process...

Sara seems to think it won't be the length of wait that was first anticipated...10 months, remember? She seems to think maybe...just maybe -- sometime in August!!!! WOW!!!

Do you realize that is like 5 months away??? Haha...woohoo! Ok, so it may be Sept or Oct? But for some reason they want us to go ahead and get the medical clearance letters renewed...keep in mind they expire in 6 months...how exciting is that???

So, I'm bedazzled! There is lots going thru my mind...lists galore! We have to quit procrastinating concerning the grant applications; and do more fundraising. We need approximately $13,ooo. The costs increased as the number of siblings increased. God inspired this adoption; I know He will provide throughout. If we are unable to collect enough needed funds, then we will ultimately take an interest-free loan. We are beginning to try to really conserve where our dollars go. We cut off our cable. We are considering selling the Trailblazer for an older vehicle, possibly a minivan! So pray for us, to be as wise stewards and pray that God help us be creative in our fundraising approach! God is good...

Just think, these children, my children, are in Colombia right now...hopefully they are smiling and playing in the sun! Pray that we have no obstacles in the process and that it continues to move quickly! Thanks so much...

**We will be sending an update letter by snail mail soon with more details!

Thanks and Happy Wednesday!
