Small Updates

I officially mailed off the first of what I hear will be lots and lots of paperwork to the adoption agency. Some of you might be surprised that this is only the 'first' of the paperwork. There's not a lot of hurry as we are waiting for the father's parental rights to be terminated. Then there is a waiting period. We were advised to wait until fall, but be ready in the spring to swing into action as soon as the waiting period is over.

I know the court date for the father's rights to be terminated is coming soon, I just don't know exactly when. And with that comes some uncertainty. Will he fight? Will he have any say? Will she know? How will she be affected? I can only pray that it will go smoothly and God will comfort her heart in the process.

We are still doing our puzzle piece fundraiser. You can read about that *here* I also have plans to make memory boards and sell those at 2 local Fall Festivals. The other thing that we have done is we ordered business cards with our adoption blog address on them. If missionaries have prayer cards, I felt like we should too. I didn't want her name and face floating around, so we went with the simpler card to hand out. Several times a week I get to talking to people about what we're doing, and I thought it would be cool to have something to hand out. The more people praying and the more awareness we can raise, the better!
