1 Year

Well it has been 1 year since our dossier was sent to Russia.  A lot has changed in that year.  We have gone from waiting for a single girl to waiting on a sibling pair.  We have turned down one referral, and now we just wait for another one.  Praying we get it soon!  We are ready.  As far as our grant, last week I sent out 77 letters to family and friends asking them for their support, with only one being returned for a bad address, I think that was pretty good if you ask me!  It took me a long time to get to that point asking people for money, but we are there now, we are in the final inning, the bases are loaded and we have a full count.  We have got to get this done!  We have until June 3rd to raise $5000, to get the full matching grant!  If you would like to help please see the letter to the right of the blog to find out how you can help us out!  Have a great weekend everyone.

  1. Are you assigned to a certain region yet, or just waiting to see where the child/children become available? Every agency seems so different...

    Lord willing this next year will be filled with more crazy than you ever could imagine, crazy good that is.

  2. I remember that one year wait... our referral for Clara came at 13 months. It was not possible for time to pass by any slower! Has your agency given you any time frame for another referral(s)?

    Happy Mother's Day Denise! (a wee bit early)
