How can I help?

Someone asked recently that the blog have a list of our current needs. So here goes…

1. Please pray for us. Please pray for the boys. Please pray for the family waiting at home.

2. As of Saturday we need a van. Our poor van was the only one that didn’t leave the accident scene unscathed. Everyone else was fine, praise God, but no more van…

3. We need $2371 for the kids expenses. That would be airfare back (615 each) the cost of the visa, birth certificate, and passport.

4. We need airfare and travel for us. We have never included those fees in any of our fundraising but they are needs, none the less.

Thank you to all who have walked with us on this journey. We are getting so close!!!

Am I pregnant???

We are so close to traveling.  I have given birth to 5 beautiful children.  I know what it is to be pregnant.  This is another thing.   Still…I see a lot of similarities!!

This week I found myself standing in the middle of ToysRUs/BabiesRUs, totally overwhelmed.  Crying.

….Check.  Done that before.

I have been checking off the calendar.  Staring at it as if something is going to change on the page.  1…2…3….4….5….6…How many days left???!?!

…Check.

I found my thoughts drifting off every quiet moment, my mind going over the itinerary one more time, planning when I will arrive here/leave here.  It’s not like I don’t already have all of it listed off in three different places.

…Check.

I really would prefer to be on the other side of these 3 weeks/4 weeks whatever, when we are done.  When every bad scenario has lost it’s teeth because we are done.

….Check. Check.  I think I thought that before every labor/delivery.

Maybe adoption is something different, but it doesn’t seem so different right now.  🙂
