Your Beautiful....and an adoption update....

This song is on a CD that we listen to a lot in the car...today while driving, the princess said....Mom you are beautiful. What do you say to that? I love that we listen to music and she hears the positive message. What we put into our children's minds through music will come out. So awesome to have a positive message for girls in a beautiful song....and baby you are beautiful to me too!

And on the 2nd adoption home front, tomorrow I will mail off the last piece of paperwork needed to have our dossier completed. This is the form that the department of homeland security approves. The current time frame for approval is 60-90 days so hopefully by the middle of January we will receive approval and can get our paperwork all filed! With our agency matching waiting children pretty quickly we need to work hard on making sure we have all of our funds so we are not scrambling at the end to get them. We continue to have our empanada sales every month and those have been going amazing! People love them....I do too! We are working on gathering items so we can hold a HUGE giveaway as a fundraiser. We already have some amazing items like Disney tickets, autographed CD by Casting Crowns, a 1 month boot camp membership, and photo sessions...just to name a few! If you have anything that you would like to donate towards the giveaway or know of someone we should contact please leave a comment below.

I am going to post a fundraising thermometer on the right side of the page so you will know where we are with our fundraising. As something comes up that needs to be paid and is paid, I will adjust the numbers accordingly. Please pray with us regarding the funding and working overtime etc without compromising time needed as a family. Right now we have approximately $19,224 dollars that will be needed for the adoption that has not been paid at this point. I was able to get a ballpark figure by using some numbers from a friend who leaves in 8 days for her little girl! That number may sound huge but we serve a HUGE AND MIGHTY God and all things are possible with Him! And when you break it down it is really not so bad.....see below..LOL!

It is only:
19,224 people with $1
3,845 people with $5
1,923 people with $10
769 people with $25
385 people with $50
193 people with $100

Hard to believe that with a few people helping....families all over this world could make a difference in a childs life! As always if you would like to make a donation you can via the chip in on the right hand side of the page....journey to a mei mei or little sister chip in. Thanks!
