What's up!!
We are getting ready for the big day which is approaching fast! We are trying to get all our ducks in a row and about the only ducks I don't have lined up are for my work. Finding a temp person can be hard for only 9 weeks at my job.
Kyle and I had the privilege to talk to Judah's birth mom today. We have been able to talk to her as often as we like and have been getting to know her over the last 6 days; everything from false labor pains to just shooting the breeze. She is very sweet, easy going, and very funny. We are praying for open doors to pray for her. How amazing it would be to see Judah's birth mom ask Jesus to be Lord of her life!
Hadley, Kyle's niece, asked me this past Sunday "When will Judah's tummy mommy have him?" And I was able to say it's only a few weeks away!! Needless to say the whole family is thrilled.
My mom came up to see us 2 weeks ago and is leaving the end of June. She said she wanted to get "Micale time" before the baby came. So now after our little man arrives home she will end up coming back sometime in August. Our home is looking like a baby is coming that's for sure. Bottles, bassinets, pack n play, and swing. But I have a feeling this little boy of ours will be in our arms way more often, which makes me so happy and will help us bond since we are the new voices he hasn't heard for the past 8-9 months.
Just when you think fees and paperwork is at completion in an adoption it seems there is always more :) But you just gotta roll with it. We are needing more funds to cover the extra expenses that will incur for post placement fees and attorney fees. We are at crunch time yet again and I think God works pretty awesome in those moments. We are looking for people that are able and willing to donate money that will go towards this. These fees have to be paid in order to bring Judah home and finalize our adoption. We are so close to getting these funds, but we are still short. If you can give please contact us via phone or facebook or even comment on this post. We would be so grateful for whatever amount you are able to give. These funds will need to be raised by July 1st. Which is only 2 weeks away folks! Please pray and allow the Holy Spirit to direct you on what you feel led to give. The money that comes in will go to our puzzle pieces. Will post a pic later, but Kyle and I will be beginning to put the puzzle together. Remember we can't finish the puzzle till all the pieces have been bought. ($10 a piece-and we have enough for you!)
Please continue to pray as we raise these funds in such a short time. God has been good and we know He is in this whole Journey. We have been blessed by many. We look forward to being able to show you our Judah man soon!
We love you guys and thank you so much for your love and support through this journey and for helping us finish the journey of bringing Judah back home. We appreciate you and all that you've done and all that is still to come.
Blessings to you
