Orphan Sunday

Just wanted to send out an update for the last month.  Boy has it been a blessed month!  The Show Hope bracelets are selling like hot cakes and the necklaces are doing well too!  We are so amazed by everyone's generosity and willingness to help us bring home 1 less orphan! I am even more amazed when I receive a private message on Facebook from someone I don't know who wants to sell bracelets for us.  We are amazed, grateful, humbled, thankful and surprised by all the love we have received from SO MANY!!

So the month of October was a busy one! We had our home study and are currently waiting for it to be finished. Once that is in our hands, we can then apply to USCIS.  What is that, you may ask? Well, I'm not 100% sure of the correct definition, but basically its approval from the US Government.
Along with our home study, we have to completed 10 hours of online training, as well as completed a parenting planner from our agency.  MAN, does it have some tough questions.  You would think that by already having 2 kids you kinda sorta think you may have this parenting thing figured out.  Well, try to answer a few of them questions and you may start to second guess yourself.  Ha ha!!

But we definitely feel as if we are traveling the road that God has lead us on.  I have been praying diligently for 2 things:For God to bring people into our lives that can help play a role in bring our little one coming home and funds!  I know He is answering those prayers because this whole process has been a miracle so far! So I am boldly asking you all to help join us in prayer. Imagine what could happen? 

Today is Orphan Sunday so I wanted to share this video!
