Forty Days to Forever + An Update

Wow! I just went to make some changes to the template on the blog and realized that I have not posted anything since October! We had a surgery and several illnesses in November and December and that coupled with the usual business of the Christmas season put me way behind. And to be honest, there has not been much news to report on the adoption front. We had our Article 5 appointment and everything was approved; then our dossier was signed by the MOJ and submitted to the court. Right now we are waiting on news about our court date. As soon as I hear something I will update here so you can all join us in praying that everything goes smoothly and the judge will not request any additional information. One more delay might send me over the edge! ;-)

I also wanted to let you know about a wonderful opportunity to support orphans. Our family has been invited to participate in this effort to raise $20,000 for 40 orphans over the 40 days of Lent. We have the opportunity to raise $400 to put toward our final travel expenses (which will be about $4,000). Every little bit helps! Our family will be featured on February 21.

We hope that you will support our family, as well as the other families and waiting children by visiting Forty Days to Forever to find out more. There will be 40 different prizes as well as a grand prize given away, so you may win something cool while caring for the least of these!
