We're very excited and talked to the kids tonight at dinner (well...their dinner...they were eating...I've been a little under the weather today so chose not to eat...probably too much info, but welcome to social media).

Please continue to pray for us as we go through this journey.  We still have a lot of money to raise and I'm pretty sure the kids still don't totally understand what's about to hit them (neither do their parents!), but we've learned through the years to obey when God tells us to do something!! Thank you for those prayers that have already gone up and thanks in advance for the prayers that you'll continue to pray for us!  It's amazing to me that a predominantly Catholic country isn't more helpful with getting their orphans matched with willing forever families, but a Communist country is...God's ways are higher and we're resting in that fact!!!  Come back for more updates and I'll post as we have them...
