Will You Help?

As many of you know, we have planned for a while to adopt two kids from DRC. We made sure we had enough money to fund these adoptions. After DeWayne's trip to Congo, god laid another little boy on his heart. We prayed about and felt lead to explore the possibility of adopting him also. That door has remained wide open, and we will be submitting documents to court for all three children next week! We are planning a few fundraisers in the next two months as we have exhausted our financial resources. We know this adoption is God's will and trust that He will provide.

Good News

This was the title of the email I received from Congo today. It was a short and very sweet email. We found the father, flew him to sign the documents; he showed up, and all the influential members of the family signed the consents! We have been waiting for this for quite a while now, so this is actually GREAT news! We still have to do a few more things before the documents can be submitted to court, but we are so close now. Please continue to pray that all goes well with the final documents. Right now though, we are thanking God for His faithfulness and provision in this situation.

Not Much to Update

Well. many of you have probably been wondering where I've been. I'm still here and still waiting. So here are a few updates:

1. We received our approval from the US government to adopt 3 orphans from the DRC!
2. We have all the consents for the two older kiddos and are planning to submit to court very soon.
3. We are still working on getting consents for the baby. There is supposed to be a meeting on Sunday to with the family members (aunts and uncles) and the orphanage director to get this taken care of.

As you can see, there hasn't been much change since my last post. Hopefully, I will have more to write about in the next week!
