We leave for trip #1 on September 6th.

TRAVEL DATE . . . . .

Wow, I can't believe it!!!!!  We have our travel date.  We are so excited to announce that we will be leaving for Eastern Europe on September 6th and are DAP appointment is scheduled for September 8th.  We are very excited!!!!!

We will be taking more than one trip this time because of our current children at home and their needs.  My oldest daughter, Aria, and myself will travel together for our first trip.   We will visit with and meet our son for several days and then return home and wait for court.  As soon as our court date is scheduled I will return with our son, Jordan, to finalize court and then decide if we will return home to wait or wait in country for finalization.  This process can take several weeks.

We are still in need of funds to be completely funded but are trusting "Where God leads He will provide."  If you would like to help we would appreciate your prayers and any support you can give.

Thank you so much!!!!  We are so close!!!!
