LONGING AND HOPING

THESE PAST FEW WEEKS HAVE BEEN VERY TOUGH FOR ME. ON AUGUST 1st, 2009 WE WERE PRESENTED WITH (WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS) A GREAT SITUATION. A 16 YEAR OLD BM VIEWED OUR PROFILES, SHE WAS DUE 9-15-2009. WE MET ALL THE CRITERIA THAT SHE REQUESTED FOR THE ADOPTIVE PARENTS TO BE CONSIDERED TO BE CHOSEN, BUT SHE DECIDED NOT TO CHOOSE US. WE KNOW NOW THAT WAS NOT THE BABY GOD WANTED FOR US. A WEEK LATER WE GOT ANOTHER SITUATION PRESENTED TO US THROUGH OUR SW. THIS BM IS HAVING A LITTLE BOY DUE 12-20-2009, AND WE WERE GLAD TO BE BACK ON TRACK. THREE DAYS LATER WE GOT THE NEWS SHE HAD CHOSE ANOTHER COUPLE, BUT WE WERE IN THE TOP FOUR. WE KNOW THAT GOD HAS THE PERFECT SITUATION FOR US AND WE ARE TRUSTING AND BELIEVING IN HIM TO BRING IT TO PASS. WE STILL NEED FUNDING FOR OUR ADOPTION. THE ADOPTION COST'S RANGE FROM $20,000.00 (ON THE LOW SIDE) TO 35,000.00 (ON THE HIGH SIDE) DEPENDING ON THE BM EXPENSES. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL SMALL FUNDRAISERS TO COVER THE EXPENSES SO FAR, BUT STILL ARE NEEDING FUNDS FOR THE REMAINING COST. WE ARE LOOKING INTO GRANTS AND OTHER FUNDRAISERS. PLEASE KEEP PRAYING FOR US. WE ARE BELIEVING FOR OUR BABY AND THE FUNDING.-------------
