That's right! We have sold 70 puzzle pieces in the last couple days. Thank you for your support...donations, shared links, and prayers are all appreciated!
Our goal is still to come up with $4000 by September 30th so that we can send our agency a check for the full amount owed and get our dossier sent out. We are also working on selling some stuff (keep checking under our "for sale" link) and we are also trying to sell one of our vehicles. Unfortunately, Hawaiians don't seem to be interested in our 4 wheel drive, gas guzzling beast of an SUV. :-) As one friend reminded me today, God is in the business of performing miracles. May not be on my time but it will happen.
Some of you may have seen the measurements I posted on facebook. Our Ghana girl is, guesstimated, to be turning 5 this November. She has finally caught up to my 2 1/2 year old in height at 37 inches and weighs approximately 30 lbs. Also the same as my 2 year old. Our little guy, who was on the brink of death when he arrived at the orphanage, is 31 inches tall and approximately 25 lbs. He is reportedly turning 3 next month. On top of that our daughter needs to have tests run to see what her viral load is (among other things) concerning her HIV. She is not receiving any medical attention regarding her disease right now. So, you see the urgency in getting this dossier sent out to get the process moving again.
Our hearts are full of gratitude for all of your support, no matter what form it comes in. We have been so blessed by this process and grateful the Lord chose us for this journey that will forever change our lives.
That's great! Praying!
ReplyDeleteYour little girl is the exact same measurements our son was in May (last update we have). He will be 6 in November! Can't wait to get him home and start helping him grow :)
