Allan went to doctor today to have more blood work done to see if he is still Anemic and if all goes well, they should give him the OK and finish up his paperwork so we can Finally start the Home Study!! It has taken 3 extra months to get through all these medical issues, so if you are thinking about Adopting.. Go to the Doctor First so you don't have to go through this!
I was also going to say our Adoption Fundraiser last Saturday went really well! The rain held off the entire time we were there! We are thankful for the support of family and friends whom continue to support us and the willingness of others to donate items for us to sell. We are grateful! At first, I have to admit I was only focused on the fact that this yard sale was a lot of hard work and was a Big flop because we didn't raise as much money as we had hoped for BUT then my eyes were open to all that God was doing at this yard sale. We had the opportunity to hand out several bibles, hear a women's testimony about her miracle children and a friend's testimony being shared with a pre-Christian. I am ashamed that I was disappointed when in all actuality this yard sale was a Big Win! I pray that we planted that seed in people's lives and that they will come to know the LORD as their Savior! That is so much more important than our financial gain for the Adoption because I know that God will help us financially pay for this Adoption!
We are going to look into Bowling for our next Adoption Fundraiser! But, I could use some suggestions, if anyone has any! :o) I think I have fixed the blog settings so anyone can leave a comment, even if they don't have an account!
Here are some pictures from the Yard Sale! :o)
