We continue to be blessed in so many ways! We appreciate so many of you who have donated to our cause, large or small. We have now raised close to $8000. We've already put in around $5000 of our own, and the cost is around $20000 total. We still need to raise/earn $8000.
I am constantly amazed at the answers to prayers, and the generosity of friends from so many different arenas. We truly are blessed. THANK YOU!!!! We truly appreciate it and love you!
We are still waiting on our immigration approval. We were hopeful that it will come this week....but it might be next week. The longer it takes, the longer it will be until we can go and get our little girl. Right now, we're looking at the last week of June or first 2 weeks of July....but each week delays us a week. We ask for your continued prayers.
We have sent 2 care packages, which we hope reached her. Each contained disposable cameras, that will hopefully be used and returned so we will have memories of her days in the orphanage for her "Baby Book". We also sent photos of our family, cats, birds, grandparents, etc. so that she will become familiar with our faces. And of course, some American candy (we've been told it is their favorite) to share with friends and nannies, and a few clothes that will be donated to the orphanage. We continue to collect clothes to take with us and donate, as well as use for her when she comes home.
I have been making her baby bedding. I have sewn it, but it needs to be quilted & bumper pads finished. Now, I need a white bedskirt & sheets, and of course, a mattress. It is so much fun!!!!
I cannot wait to hold you, Lizzie!!!
