Can you believe that a year has gone by already....
We have been extremely busy with fundraising, school, 4-H, parenting, grand-parenting,
graduations, new grand-babies, gardening, birthdays, milestones,
painting, helping support other adoptions, thrift sales, craft shows, bake sales,Church, sickness, and death.
Our adoption process has been coming along smoothly, but slowly. We are currently
waiting for the placement of our child, hoping it will be this month. The money on the
other hand is only a little over half. We do have a matching grant of $3000.00. You will hear
more about that in the near future. We have had a lot of interesting people helping us out in many different ways, you will also hear more about that. Sorry for the long interval, but I have been enjoying this past year as much as possible trying to slow things down to not miss life and enjoy
what God has given me, trying to let God be in control of this adoption and my life. That
is not always easy, but very necessary.
