I am truly leaping with joy.  I can not even explain the stress, that seems to be gone.  I am so thankful for the support of all my new found internet friends.  Each of you have held me up in the moments that I really wondered if we were ever going to get there.  I believe that I see an end in sight.  All the countless hours of worry, splashed with paperwork that seemed never ending on top of life seemed like such a daunting task.  I truly can say I have a new kind of respect for families who adopt.  Really I had no clue when we started how difficult this would be.
Now I know we have just hit the next part, which I have come to expect will be difficult.  Thinking about being in a country where I can't communicate with others because of  the language barrier,  the unknown of the orphanages, the food, the culture.  The paperwork trail in a country where I wont have a clue as to how to get places, and the emotional part of actually meeting the girls.  The thing is I am so ready to go, I should be shaking in my boots, but instead my head says bring it on I can do it.  So here we are, ready for the next season of this process.
I will have another fundraiser  coming up in a week or so.  We are right at the 10,000 mark now.  To me that seems impossible to come up with in the next month and a half, and I could fret but, we have made it this far.  There have been moments when God has had to carry me because there was just no way I could do it myself.  I have seen His presence through this whole process and know that we will get there.  I have faith that soon I can hold those my girls in my arms.
