Adoption Grant

I'm overwhelmed.  Grateful beyond words.  Jumping up and down.  Happy, elated tears.  Miracles do happen and God is definitely proving to us that He is in the spiritual business of adoption.

Today we received word that A Child Waits Foundation is granting us money for travel fees!  Oh yes, miracles do happen, folks!  The amount they are generously giving us will cover the $1400 we have due now in post placement fees.  It will also cover a portion of our travel fees.

The only hiccup we have will be in the timing of the payment of fees.  As stated in my previous post, our agency is requiring all fees in the next 2 weeks.  This grant foundation only sends fees right before travel. So, we'll see if our agency and this foundation can work things out to get payment in when it is due.

For Jay and I, we just need to figure out how to finish at least half of our puzzle fundraiser.  I'll punch the numbers tomorrow and will update our Donate! tab at the top to see how much we need to raise to get at least one of us to China.  Then it will be the decision of who will travel.  At this point, it might be just me going overseas.  We'll see.

But please join me in thanking God for His miraculous provision and financial gift through A Child Waits.  Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
