Hello friends and family,
Praise be to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We have met our first goal! We reached the $11,000 mark last Sunday, February 11th. We celebrate this endeavor with our many supporters. We believe that by reaching this goal, it has been God’s way of affirming us along the way. Every prayer and financial gift has been a blessing and a reminder that God is at work. There is no doubt in our minds that the time for us to adopt a beautiful little boy from Guatemala is now. God has graciously affirmed in many ways the central desire of our hearts which is to raise a child in the ways of the Lord. As I write we are preparing our initial application and contracts to be ready to be sent to AGCI along with a $5,000 check for a relief fee and another check for $5,800 to cover adoption expenses in Guatemala.
We are also thrilled to report that we found a social worker who will do our Home Study and help us with our accompanying paperwork. She comes highly recommended from a couple that has adopted from China. Catherine Richardson, our social worker, works for an agency named Adopt for the Love of a Child. We will begin the large task of filling out all the paperwork that accompanies our home study soon. Please be praying that we can accomplish this daunting task one step at a time.
We are thrilled that you have chosen to embark on this journey with us. We will keep you posted as things develop . Keep checking our website for updates. Thank you for all of your support. We love each one of you and cannot wait for our little boy to come home.
