We received our July wait list # today. I was pleasantly surprised to see it is #96!!! Last month we were #105 so moving 9 slots in one month is exciting! Our agency placed 10 children with their forever families in June, yet it seems like it will be FOREVER before we are one of those families!
In case you had not heard yet, the garage sale in May was a huge success! We were so blessed and thankful for 16 different families who donated items and by the favor of God we raised $1600!!! And, people are still giving us items to sell so it looks like we may have another sale again in August.
That is all the news we have for now. Please continue to pray for us and our child as we wait to be united.
I found your blog because my name is Rachel Burnett and I wanted to see who had taken my domain name, and I ended up reading a lot of your posts, and I'm touched by your situation and dedication and love! I wish you and your family all the best and much luck with your future Ethiopian treasure of a child! I'm so glad that there are people out there like you and your husband who are so kind-hearted to receive these children in need.
