This is a record of our journey to bring home an orphaned boy from Eastern Europe who happens to have Down Syndrome, and everything that happens along that winding road.

We are a GO!
Our FBI prints and clearances came back to our Homestudy agency today and so we are GO FOR HOMESTUDY completion! This is GIANT! I expect a completed and apostilled Homestudy inside of two weeks (you would not believe how exacting this document has to be). This is also big in terms of fund raising, as we will have to submit $3500.00 to Ian's Agency and about $850.00 to US Immigration to get the ball rolling on that end.
I have NO DOUBT that we can do this, we will have to raise another $3219.23 in two weeks! God says do your best and he will do the rest. This should scare me but honestly, I'm excited to see just how God is going to work this out. I love that we get to stand by and watch the magic, it is such an awesome thing to know faith.
There is some other news brewing about adoptions in Ian's city but I will hold on that because frankly, I fully expect, because I fully believe, that we will be covered, and that we will get to Ian before he is moved to an institution.
Ari's turns 4 this week, my beautiful boy, the joy of my life, the best gift I have ever gotten besides being saved, is growing up too fast for this mama! For all the news that is fit to print on Ari, visit HERE.
