Sooooo close!

These last few steps are just FLYING by! I am so excited to say that we are scheduled to have our Article 5 picked up tomorrow! They have expedited this step! This is the last step before travel approval and then we are off to bring Rowen and Rylen home! We are so very excited that we are so close!

We are amazed at all the mountains the Lord has moved to make this adoption possible. Believe me, it has not gone on with no bumps...there have been times we thought this wouldnt be possible, times we questioned Gods calling, and just felt lost. But, as He always does, He would build us back up and point us in the right direction. Now, here we are, still needing some major funds, praying for the Lord to work a miracle. As I have said many times, I dont want the lack of funds to stand in the way of travel. If we don't have every dollar we need, we can not travel. We are not planning anything extra for this trip and are really hoping to keep prices as low as possible, flights will likely be less than estimated. But, some of the fees are set fees and will not change (orphanage donation, host fees, etc).

Do you want to be a part in making this miracle happen? We would love you to covet us in your prayers. Please pray that the Lord continues to provide for this adoption. Pray He continues to wrap the boys in His loving arms, protect them and prepare them for these major changes in their lives. Please pray for Alicia and I to be safe for our travel. Pray for Brock and the children who will be home anxiously waiting for us to come back.
