Sorry I've been missing for a while. Our internet went down a little over a week ago, but is finally up and running.
I'm overwhelmed. My house looks like someone put a stick of dynamite in the hall and lit the fuse. We have clothes everywhere. New baby clothes. Girl clothes. Hundreds of clothes that are patiently waiting to be tagged for our church consignment sale (this was suppose to be done last week but couldn't because it must be done online!). And thank you to each of you who donated clothes for the sale. What a blessing!! We are shifting stuff and kids around. I'm trying to make and freeze dinners to make life easier once our family has a couple new members. I'm trying to clean so that when we get home with new baby I don't have to worry about how dirty the floors or the toilets are. Oh, and when does the mountain of adoption paperwork end? Don't several of you keep telling me that one day I won't remember how long and how much of it there was? Can that day be tomorrow?
We have 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS!! We've decided to tackle one room a day- that should give us plenty of time.
2 WEEKS!! Ruslana's adoption is 99% funded. Baby boy's....about 20%. An adoption grant is not be realistic. There is lots of paperwork involved and they take a long time to be awarded. Time is not on our side. The only option we have right now is trying to get an adoption loan. Maybe a long shot given the short amount of time we have, but worth it for our boy.
Please, if you have any quick fundraising ideas, let me know. 2 WEEKS!!
Sorry for the downer post. Again, I'm overwhelmed. God is in control and I have to remind myself once again (after about 17 times today!) to rely on Him. He will see us through and has GREAT plans for these angels and our family. Have faith.
In Him,
E

Oh my friend--you have been on my heart. I am so glad you are back on-line. I have missed you here :(
Try not to feel overwhelmed. I know it all seems so crazy, and so surreal. But everything is going to work out just fine--I promise. The money WILL come in--God WILL provide. Look what He has done already! He has been so amazing in your lives, hasn't He? Wow--soon you will be a mommy to a precious little BOY. I bet that feels weird :)
Love you heaps
