Two small wallet sized photo's are sitting on my desk... framed and in a place where I can see them mutiple times a day... the faces of our daughters.... YES.... our two little girls....waiting for us in Haiti.
About 2 weeks ago, we accepted the referral from Haiti of two little 4 year old girls...(non-related)... Sheldine turned four in July and Nephtalie turns four next week. I can not tell you the emotions that go along with this step in our journey. We love them so much, and miss them terribly... yet we have not met them face to face. We do not know if they have been told about us yet... we do not know when we'll be flying to Haiti to meet them. What we do know is that God is in control and we are focusing on trusting Him more and more every day.
Upon acceptance of our referral we again drained our adoption fund. It is never-wracking and amazing all at the same time that for each step of the way, we have had exactly what we needed... when we needed it!
Our next payments are for some in-counrty fee's- the passports for the girls- at least two trips to Haiti and we now pay their living expenses every three months in the amount of $300 a month per child. We know that God is faithful!
I have added a paypal "donate" button to our blog.... we would not have been able to get this far without the abundant generosity of our friends, family, communtity and neighbors... we give God all the glory and praise for how this has unfolded before our eyes! We have much funds yet to raise and it's hard to ask for help- and thank you for your love and support. This has been a journey that far exceeds what we first expected... a journey that far exceeds just involving Darren and myself... a journey that is emotionally draining- physically exhausting... and simply amazing...
stay tuned our faithful blog followers..... we can't wait to share more with you....
