Today is a hard day ... I have an opportunity to go to Uganda nad meet our little one...and spend 2 weeks with her. The hard part about today is pride...Trying to set my pride asside and ask for your help. I will need to go to Uganda to meet with the director of the home were she lives. This will also give me an opportunity to bring her much needed formula and clothing. I would like to travel on the 28th of January. Traveling then will give me support while I am there. Mary Thew will be there picking up her beautiful daughter at the same time. The girls are very close and it will be a tough transition. I spend most of the morning in the passport office trying to get the correct passport to travel. I will be returning tommorrow. They will take the passport to Frankfurt to the consulate. There is an 80% chance it will be back in time. The pride come in with the fact that I will be buying a last minute ticket most likely the day before I fly. These are more expensive. We have everything we need to stay there for the 2 weeks and to bring her the needed items. This will also give us more of an idea of what her medicail needs will be. Thank you to all of you who have sent words of incouragement. It means so much to us and to her!
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 1 Corinthians 13:4

Incredible...Crazy 20 days!
Merry Christmas! So it has been an amazing holiday. We flew to the States to be with family this holiday season. We have been so blessed!
The kids have had a great time visiting grandma and grandpa..And meeting baby Hadley for the first time. She is my brother's first baby and so sweet!
To update everyone now that we have made some official announcements...We are pursuing an independent adoption. We have a child that we are praying will become part of our forever family. We have meet an amazing person and dear friend that I feel is our biggest supporter....We have felt so much love as we let our friends and family know of our plans. This next year will be full of ups and downs. There will be tears and laughs. We truly feel as if we have been called to bring our daughter home.
As I watched my children open there presents I wonder did our little ladybug have any presents to open today? Did anyone tell her she is loved? Did she even get a meal today? I pray that god held her in his arms today and whispered to her that we are coming.
We have set up a new fundraiser and will be posting more soon please follow us as we "pull on our prayer pants" and bring our daughter home!
I read this this morning.. Tonight we lay everything in God's hands..
Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it. Ezra 10:4
