Final tally is in-- $7,939.74!!! We are so overwhelmed by the Lord's goodness, we've been praise dancing since Sunday afternoon! :)
We are so thankful to everyone who donated, came, shopped, worked, hauled, counted, sorted, organized and prayed!! You can never know-- because words just are not adequate to show-- just how thankful we are for each and every person who has walked alongside us through this journey. The end of the preparation is in sight, and the REAL JOURNEY BEGINS SOON, once we get them home!
We have received some positive news on our younger daughter's Embassy clearance-- they are working to sort out some missing information, but if all goes well, we hope to be traveling to bring them home by April 5. WOULD YOU PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYING THAT WE RECEIVE CLEARANCE IN TIME TO BOARD A PLAN ON FRIDAY, APRIL 5 (or sooner!)?
As far as we can tell (based solely on estimates for our final trip,) we are COMPLETELY FUNDED through bringing the girls home!!! WHOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!!! Praise and glory to God ALONE!!
Having said that, we have one final sheet order that we're sending this THURSDAY NIGHT-- we are 3 orders short of a full order, so we're asking if ANYONE needs any sheets to please let me know right away. This will be the LAST ORDER we send (Lord willing!), so PLEASE check with your contacts and let us know by THURSDAY AT NOON if you need any more sheets. We'll submit the order Thursday night and should have the sheets before Easter. (We do know of several families adopting who have begun selling sheets, so we can always point you to one of them if you need sheets after this order. :) )
Lastly, we met a family at our yard sale this past weekend who has begun their own adoption journey, and they have their first fundraiser TODAY at Chick-Fil-A Stonybrook. So if you're in the area, and can swing in for some chicken, know that you'll be helping another orphan find their forever family! Please share with EVERYONE you know!!
Again, all our love and thanks!!
To God be the glory!!!
