More Baby Steps...

THANKFUL FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS, and WHAT OUR FUTURE HOLDS

We made some adoption progress during the Thanksgiving Holiday!

1. We finished Kalyn's VISA application...
2. We finished preparing Kalyn's room to share with big brother...
3. We are beginning to think about packing our bags...
4. We are brushing up on the agency's travel meeting and travel guide...
5. We have purchase the last few gift items we will take to China for Kalyn's nannies, our travel guides, and the orphanage director(s).
6. We continue to apply for more adoption grants...

The next few weeks will go by fast and over the next few months we will see GOD's work as he his plan for our family unfolds.

** No exact travel dates yet, but as soon as we hear from China and are given the golden ticket we will be on a jet plane!!!!

Please pray for Kalyn to remain healthy as he waits for us, efficiency in the last bit of paperwork preparation, favor in the hearts of adoption grantors, and patience for our family (especially anxious momma).

The brothers will share a room --- BROTHERS FOREVER!
The Puzzle Fundraiser brings the most memorable PANDA décor and centerpiece for the room

Just a little personalization

 

Our Panda Puzzle Fundraiser Update! The Panda puzzle has 1,000 pieces. Through many fundraisers we were able to label each of the 1,000 pieces with the initials of those who donated. More than $10,000 has been raised to HELP BRING KALYN HOME!

Phillipians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Kalyn, just a blink of an eye and we will be there!
