Blessed to Be Fully Funded!

As of today, May 13, 2014, we are excited to announce that we are fully funded for our total anticipated adoption expenses!  It is only through the generosity of our family and friends that we are at this point, and we are humbled beyond belief at the outpouring of love and support from so many.

From the beginning of this journey, from that first day we met Jazhel (Isaac), we believed God intended for us to embrace him as our fourth son, and asked us to completely trust Him with this one.  So, we trusted, not knowing how all the details would fall into place, not knowing how we would fund the process . . . and He proved, once again, that He is indeed trustworthy, without a doubt!

We are grateful for your prayers and for letting God nudge you to share generous financial gifts to bring us to his point!

Isaac has one more appointment - his Visa Interview - this week, and that should be the final piece to finish the puzzle . . .we will be making travel plans very, very soon!

Isaac's Visa Appointments

We are getting so close to our travel dates, it's hard to believe!

Isaac has an appointment Friday, May 9 for his Visa Medical visit.  Then, two weeks later, on May 23, he has his Visa Interview.  If all goes well for both appointments, they will call us and tell us we can make travel plans!

SKYPE!  Skype has been amazing.  We have talked with him four times already, and each conversation gets better and less awkward . . .we are getting used to each other's languages (with the help of adults there), and coming up with things to show each other (pictures, drawings, etc.) and share with each other (music, Tagalog learning program, etc.).  This communication will make our arrival at his doorstep less intimidating for all of us!
