Fundraiser and news.

So, what's new with us?!  Alot, actually!!  We finally received our packets from our local agency and are in the process of collecting all the documents to get our home study  in full swing!  Very exciting!!!  And, a tad over whelming!  ;)  I am sure most of you heard about the whole ban on Russian adoptions.  That came as a big disappointment to us.  Just a week before we heard of the ban, Clay and I had actually, finally agreed on the cutest, sweetest little boy in Russia.  We still can't stop thinking about him!  So, you can pray that if this child is meant to be ours, God will open some doors to make that happen.  At this point, we are starting the home study process (which will take a few months), and if at the end of this process nothing has changed in Russia, we have decided to go with the Ukraine.  God knows where our child is and he will reveal that to us in His time!

So, what else??!!   It's FUNDRAISING TIME!!! 

I am beyond excited to announce our first fundraiser for our adoption.  I want to start with a huge thank you to God for blessing us with the most amazing friends.  I always knew I loved this friend, but today, when I got her email offering us 100% profits from this fundraiser, I was in complete tears.  At her love, encouragement, and just complete willingness to do this for our family and future child.  So, are you ready?  This is not some lame fundraiser!  This is pure awesome.  Drumroll please.......
