Deadline

Today I was able to mail in some very important papers. We had a deadline of getting our Homeland Security papers in by April 1st in order to be able to move forward with our agency.

There were a few panicky moments leading up to sending these in on time as well as a few overnight packages. Thanks Mom & Dad, Jamie, Eric & Michelle for helping us get what we needed! We appreciate your support!

Ways you can be praying...

• that our agency will receive the accreditation they need
• that we will continue to move forward in the paperwork process & with the Home Study
• that God will continue to provide the finances for this adoption

A Few Answers

Some of you have asked specifics about Mazey. We are only a couple papers into the process so far. We have the opportunity to select a "waiting child" (usually an older or special needs child) or wait until the end of all the paperwork and submitting our dossier. At that point we would wait for our "referral". They would then do their best to match us with a child. I hope that makes sense.

What have we asked for? A healthy little girl, 0-6 years old, whose American name will be Mazey.

Child of Light

It has been 13 years, 7 months and some odd days since we were married. We have always dreamed of having a family of our own. The Lord often works in ways that we don't understand and I can't pretend to say that it has been an easy road for us. Sometimes our desires come in forms we did not expect or anticipate. This road has lead us to adopting a little girl from Colombia and we will name her Mazey: Child of Light.

We thank you for your prayers and invite you to come along with us on this adventure. We know there will be ups and downs but we believe and have faith for the final outcome... our child of light.
