Moving along... homestudy visit is less than 2 weeks!

Spencer...or soon to be Elijah is soon to be one step closer to being out son.
OUR homestudy visit is less than 2 weeks away, scheduled for the weekend of March 12-13. We dont have his room fixed up yet but we know which room is going to be his.
With Lauren getting married in June and leaving for boot camp by the end of June, Eth will move into her room and we will put Elijah in what is now Eths room which is closest room to Dan and I.
With the homestudy done we can the work on the dossier. We are hoping to be in his country mid Summer, but WE have serious fund raising to do before we can get over there... Its all in GODS hands, please pray for us.
in the meantime I look at this beautiful face everyday.

Are you Vera's family?

This beautiful soon to be 6 year old, had a family, but for some reason only know to them and God they backed out after meeting this angel. She need a family.. Is it you?

Several families whom have met this beautiful girl are very strongly advocating for her family...
She has Cerebral Palsy like Alina,she is capable of so much more than she will have the opportunity for in her country and in the instutition she is facing.

147 million orphans, making a difference...before its to late

This was copied from my friend Michelle's blog...
(In June 2010 she added three special angels to her family from Elijah's country)
Once upon a time there was a wise man
who used to go to the ocean to do his
writing. He had a habit of walking on the
beach before he began his work.

One day he was walking along the shore.
As he looked down the beach, he saw a
human figure moving like a dancer. He
smiled to himself to think of someone
who would dance to the day.

So he began to walk faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he saw that it was a
young man and the young man wasn't
dancing, but instead he was reaching
down to the shore, picking up something
and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer he called out,
"Good morning! What are you doing?"

The young man paused, looked up and replied,
"Throwing starfish in the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?"

"The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die."

"But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"

The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said -

"It made a difference to that one."

If his family had came in time they could have made a difference to this one.. but unfortunately it wasnt to be, He has his wings and is free from all pain, he is with THE HEAVENLY FATHER...bless you Dante

Were official..

We have officially committed to the most adorable 4 1/2 year old. We no longer have to be prayer warriors for Spencer.. We're gonna be his family... we are going to name him Elijah!

This says it all...
