IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After only 13 days on the waiting list we became the proud new parents of a three year old son! Imagine the cutest little three year old boy in Ethiopia and that is our son! Our God is so awesome! We can't legally share too much information about him or show pics yet but we know this is the son God has planned for us! Most importantly the little brother Lily has being praying for. What a blessed little guy to have such a wonderful big sister! We can't wait to get him home! However, we were not expecting this referral until 6-9 months from now so we did not have enough time to fundraise or apply for grants for this next step. To officially secure our referral we have to send in a big fat check for $8235 which praise the Lord we now only need about $4800 of that amount. This whole journey has been completely about putting our trust in God to provide what we need just when we need it. He has been faithful everytime. I know a lot of people think we are crazy for embarking on such a long, difficult, and expensive journey but we know this is God's plan to add to our family. We have been praying for 10 very long years for this moment of adding to our family. God has heard our prayers and answered according to His plan and not ours! His plan is always better than ours!

God has soaked us in his grace and mercy in lots of ways but especially through the generosity of others through prayers, volunteering and/or donating for yard sales, and financial donations etc. We are so grateful to have each and everyone of you in our lives and participating in this journey. We are now at crunch time and need your help to get through this next step to bring our son home. Lord willing..We might possibly be able to bring him home by Christmas. Please pray about donating to help bring our boy home to his forever family. We will take whatever amount you are able to give $5,$10,$25,$50,$100 etc. Little is much when God is in it! Please feel free to use our paypal donation button or email me for an address to send a check to (godforgives@bellsouth.net).
