One Year-Two Months-Four-Weeks & Two Days

Time is passing by so quickly and it has been a year since we did our written commitment and over a year and a half since we decided to adopt both Braska and Zack.  With each day that passes it is one day closer to when we are there.  Little beds waiting to be added to their rooms and the smell of fresh paint fills the house.  Washing and folding their little clothes and adding to their dressers.  Hard to believe that the small package of socks will one day be on our little son and the little hair bows will be on little Braska.

Currently we are at the stage of our adoption where we wait for a court date.  Soon we will be able to countdown the days and much of our worries will be finally over. No more worries about finding the funds to complete our adoption and the stress of running for documents will finally take a break.  One of the biggest worries I have learn was raising funds and next the paperwork.  I am not a very good person at waiting and worrying.  I worry and I hate to wait so why I decided to hand these worries to our Lord.  I know he will guide us through fundraising.  And praying also to obtain the final agency fees and travel funds. Adoption is costly and no matter the cost these children are worth millions in our eyes.

Today we completed our daughter Chrissie's 3th Post Placement Report since joining our family.  I could not imagine being without her.  Not having her sweet smiles and giggles.  Our Social worker  is such a wonderful person who is also minister at Holy Cross. Don and his wife Margaret have been assisting families in adopting for close to 40 years.  They have assisted 1,000 of families over the years and has completed 5 home studies for Gary and I..  So if you live in Bossier or Shreveport this is the agency you need to use. :O))

As our weather in Louisiana is with falling leaves and also falling pecans and also Thanksgiving just ran around the corner.  The smell of the holidays\cooking is filling our home and all our children and grandchildren prepare for the most wonderful holiday of the year Christmas.  It is not a holiday we celebrate for presents or gifts but one of the greatest days of the year being together.  All the grandchildren and children sharing laughter and love..

This year we decided  that our family remember the true meaning of Christmas the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ.  May this day of birth of our Savior be one filled with our family's love and being together. But also sharing the upcoming arrival of Braska and Zack.. And now also our littlest member little Kayden Clemons Ashenbrenner.

Please I ask everyone who reads our blog to donate to our Children's Adoption Fund  on the Paypal Link attached.  Or you can receive a Tax Credit on your this year's taxes.  So the more you donate the bigger the credit you will receive.  And you will also help in bringing to wonderful children home.  You can also see our family on Reeces Rainbow www.reecesrainbow.org  for the Davis family of Louisiana for Braska and Zack.
currently our family shows $2,000 but all but $133 was used on our first trip.  So we only have a balance o $133 to use, so please I ask you help us during this time.  Our Airline Tickets are quoted at $4500 and travel right at $1500. So we will need $6,000 just to make this second trip. So please share our blog in hopes we will have the needed funds to bring them both home.

We should be hearing in about 4 weeks a date for court and 2 to 3 weeks later bring them both home. So we have only two months to raise $6,000 and we need plenty of prayers and support from everyone. Again thank everyone who has helped our family and God Bless, The Davis Family for Braska and Zack :O))
