The time has come! We have started paperwork, and we have officially been accepted into the program for Uganda Africa!!! We are so excited to finally start the adoption process to bring home our son!!!
Next stop...HOMESTUDY! Our application for this huge step, is in the mail!
And in the end of December, we did a bake sale, in conjunction with some friends that are also adopting. We raised over $1100 to split for our adoption funds! God provides for each and every step! (Natanya was very pleased for the success, since the bake sale was her idea, over a year ago! She even participated in the actual sale! My daughter has an incredible heart!)
More exciting things have happened in the last few months! In September, the Lord provided a minivan! We all fit in one vehicle with room to spare! Woo hoo!!! God is so good!
Also, we are moving into a new house with a beautiful yard full of fruit trees, berry bushes, and a garden! There will be plenty of space for all of my munchkins to play! (And I will need that big yard with all of the BOYS that will be running around! Natanya and I will be totally outnumbered!)
Now, as I fill out paperwork, and wait, and wait, for the time I go to my son, I need to remember to hang on the my patience. And cling to the Lord and trust that he will care for my little man while he waits for his family to get him. I have been struggling to sleep because I am consumed with thoughts of this little boy, somewhere out there, that I don't know, but love so much. I try to imagine his face. I pray that he is safe. I pray that he doesn't lose joy, and that he doesn't lose hope for his family to come. This year he will be in my arms! This year he will no longer be a mystery. I cant wait for that referral, just to see his face! I cant wait for the moment I see him and my soul rejoices! Thank you God that I get to bring home our son this year!!!! This Mama is ready! And there are 3 siblings and Daddy ready for him too!
