Yard/Bake Sale and Dossier Update

Our Yard/Bake sale on the 9th and 10th went really well. We were quite tired afterwards though. We made enough to pay the next adoption payment plus a little more. And we still have enough items left to do another yard sale. Thank you to everyone who donated items and to those who stopped by our yard sale. We plan to do another Yard Sale on October 14th and 15th. If you have any more items to donate please let us know. We also still have Carl's Jr. coupon books left to sale, they are $5 for $45 worth of coupons.

The dossier is almost complete. We got the paperwork notarized on Thursday. Now we are waiting for the immigration paperwork to come back so we can get fingerprinted and get that completed and we are also waiting for Brian's birth certificate to be certified. Then we must complete our photographs but all we need to complete them is to print them out and we are just waiting for our ink to arrive for our printer. Once that is done we get everthing state sealed and make 4 copies of everything and turn it into Bethany. Then they send it to China and get it processed which takes several months.

There have been delays in the dossier process that at first got us down. Then we remembered that everything is in God's timing. God already has a baby girl picked out for us and perhaps if the process went smoothly without the delays we would end up with a different child. God knows what He is doing and we need to trust in that. Please continue to keep us in prayer. Please pray for the funds to come in and for the dossier paperwork to be completed but most of all please pray for our daughter. Our daughter may be born already, she may be under a bridge somewhere right now waiting to be found. Please pray for her health, safety and to be in an orphanage with caring people and that she will be taken good care of until we can bring her home. Thank you for praying.
