So I guess I am discovering that I am not so good at keeping our blog updated! I can't believe it has already been one month since my last post. I am really going to work on being more consistent with updating my blog....starting.. now!
Ok so here is the latest! We have sent out our immigration form (I600A) which allows us to bring our duaghter home from Ethiopia. We just recieved our appointments to get fingerprinted and then we wait to recieve the approved I600 form to arrive by mail! Hopefully we will be able to send out our Dossier by early February but you never know with this process. We are learning to be patient and surrender the timing and process to God. It's hard to be patient when I just want to go to Ethiopia and bring our daughter home but I know Gods timing is so much better then mine!
We also feel so blessed to report that we have raised $2200 towards our adoption from the support letters we sent out! We feel so amazingly blessed by those who have given so generously to help us bring Nahla home! People have sent us such encouraging words, support and prayer! We are VERY thankful because every dollar helps us so much!
Starting in January we will begin to plan for hopefully TWO future benefit concerts. My precious and amazingly talented friend Brooke from Boston has offered to fly out and host a benefit concert for us in Santa Cruz! She has a beautiful voice and plans to be one of the performers at the concert. I might even sing a song with her!
We would also like to plan a concert in the Sacramento area and are beginning the process of hopefully making that happen!
Another amazing friend has also helped us design a shirt that we plan to sell at our fundraising events and sell right here on our blog! It is turning out to be such a neat shirt! We can't wait to unveil it in the new year to you all!
In the spring time we will plan a hopefully very large rummage sale to also help with all the adoption expenses.
I feel really excited for the new year and all of the fun fundraiser events that we hope to make possible! Our heart is that our own adoption journey will inspire and bring awareness to the orphan epedemic in Africa and all over the world. We hope to show that it is not impossible to adopt internatinally, and pray that maybe along the way someone else might feel a tugging on their heart to do the same. Thank you all for reading this blog, and supporting us!
We will keep you updated more often now :)
