The Paperwork Pregnancy Continues...

Today I Feel So amazingly blessed. God continues to lead us through our journey to bring Charlie home. Just when things seem way to hard to move forward, God reminds me of that little guy waiting...waiting for his Mommy & Daddy. It truly is like a pregnancy. The emotions, the hard work, the labor pains!!! So everytime I have to have a document renotarized cause it has a mistake, every trip I have to take to REDO the same document for the 4th time, and every fundraising event I encourage people to take part in is totally worth it!!! God has managed to place just the right people in our lives at just the right time. People that are encouraging, and just excited about what the future holds as we are. We are soooo Thankful!!! Please continue to pray about how you can help us as we get closer to sending our dossier and wait for a court date.
