Waiting once again

We are back in the waiting stage of our adoption.  The stage where our documents are waiting for the Minister of Justice signature and also to be assigned a judge & a court date. With our Article 5 Interview behind us this takes about 4 to 5 weeks so around December the 5th.  Now if a lot of prayers and a few more we might just have a date before this year ends. We are cutting it is close with this year ending and the days will pass quickly.  With our Adoption started in 2011 we will not be able to pick up our children until 2013. It seems like forever.  We first saw a photo of Braska in August of 2011 and her brother Zack in November 2011.  So it now has been a year since we signed all the necessary paperwork to secure both  these children and little Zack from being transfer to the older children's home.  At age 4 years all children are removed from the Baby Houses and then main streamed in with older children.  Many children separated from siblings and also from the care and medications they need to survive. 

With our first trip behind us in September we pray the days will pass so we can see our little ones again.  The last couple of weeks have been so difficult with Makayla's Brain Tumors and other family members in the hospital.  Our oldest daughter Samantha has been having difficulties in her pregnancy and life has been filled with doctors appointments with both older and young children.   This fund we will once again set out to do an local fundraiser and save the funds we need to travel.  We will need around $5500 for Airline tickets and $1500 for hotel and food total.. This does not include medical and the remainder agency fees..   OUR FSP on Reeces Rainbow is now back to $133.  It shows $2,000 but $1867 was used on our first trip.  So we are working hard trying to get the word out for help in bringing in the needed funds.  Attached on our Blog is a PAYPAL Account where funds can be directly deposit where we  can use immediately towards Airline Tickets as the time get closer.  If we don't have the travel funds we will have to delay travels to a later date in bringing our children home.

After we lost our precious Kitty Pumpkin it has been also difficult for the children.  This is Chrissie's first experience dealing with a major lost besides when we brought her home from the only home she ever knew.  It will take time for her to adjust to the lost of her Kitty.  She loved Pumpkin and Pumpkin loved Chrissie. Daily Pumpkin would wait at the window as her bus drove up and her pink wheelchair rolled off.  Once in the house she would jump in her lap.  I miss our sweet little Pumpkin. So very hard to lose someone you love and I loved this sweet cat..

As these days pass us by I ask you for prayers for our little ones. And as Thanksgiving nears I thank our Lord for leading us to them... God Bless
