How can you help and what are we up to?

There are several slower periods in the adoption process and we are in one now.. I'm thankful for slower because I worked like a crazy person getting our documents ready, reading and doing all of the things we had to do to get ready for our home study, passports, etc. God gave me 2 promises starting this journey and one was that things would go fast, they have but I never want grass to grow under my feet and we have a hold up because of it. That means I try to turn things around as fast as I can. We have finished our home study in record time, have applied for both of our passports, and having to reapply for Hartley's, a couple hic ups on her application including the fact that she had a bow in her hair when the picture was taken, um of course she had a bow in her hair and a big one at that! lol We are waiting on our home study to be finalized and head to Columbia to the DSS office there. We have filled out our Immigration paperwork and it's ready to go, The home study and Immigration paperwork will meet up together at Immigration. Once we get all of that back then we are working on our Dossier. Lifeline already has everything they need for the Dossier minus those two things so once it gets back there they sent it through the state of Alabama to be authenticated and then we are DTC. Dossier to China. We hope to be DTC no later than August 1st but hoping it could be sooner. Then after that we wait to be Logged in , which is normally 30 days, so September 1st then we wait for LOA, Letter of Approval, typically this was taking 90 days to get but for families who are already have PA pre approval  they are seeing it come a little sooner like on the 30 day side of things. This "should" be the longest wait for us here on out.. If it really comes in 30 days we'll probably be in China in December, if it comes later it could be February. This part of the process has very little do to with myself or my social worker. No matter how quick I can turn things around I can't make all of that go any faster.. God's timing is perfect but of course we want Molly home with us as soon as possible!! How special to have her here for Christmas!! God is faithful friends and we are believing for just that! As many of you know  we are in the middle of a Give $10 change a life campaign. Each day we are asking for $10 donations to raise $10K in 60 days! Today is day 31 and we really really need your help! If you've been reading for a while and wishing you could help sweet Molly, this is what we need! Please share share share share on your social media.

Have you seen Pure Charity?

Seems pretty cool? Just getting involved. You can easily find causes to help fund and all the funds go directly into our agency's account for us. They even move the ticker for you! This week has been filled with getting all sorts of things ready for our Dossier to go to China DTC here in a couple of months. We've finished our home study, woohoo! And am also working on some grant applications, please Lord show us favor! Paying out a good bit of money this week which will then wipe us totally out and we'll start over again. I do like that about China, you know what you need when you need it. Each step of the way God has been faithful and we are believing he will continue to be! Hoping to get that updated update of Molly by Sunday night! I'm so excited to see her sweet face again! Would you please continue to pray for her, for us and for our fundraising? Sharing our blog with a little intro on social media or a mass email is the best way right now. You can even share this link. They make it pretty easy!

Update and sweet video( ticker update!)

 This video just warms my heart so! When I watch Jennifer talk about adoption and Wesleigh running around it just fills my heart for such excitement for Molly! Our prayer is that when celebrating her 1 year anniversary home she will also be running around like you see here! Can't get her video to load on the blog so see it here on their blog, top on the side bar:)
