For our faithful praying friends and loved ones....

An update on how you can pray for us.

1. As you see, little boy "D" is back in the picture. Mike and I have had limited time to talk about the next step since he is in D.C. When he gets back tomorrow we will have plenty of time to talk and pray. We are at the very end of this process and for many many months have been split between the boys. Just when we decided to pursue little boy "A", we found a picture of little boy "D" that crushed our hearts...we must make this decision this week so we can make the necessary changes with our paperwork if needed. Pray that when we make a decision, we will feel no turning back, that we would be 100% peaceful in our decision.

2. Pray all goes well on Thursday when we go for Biometrics at the Immigrations Center. Pray the would process us quickly and we would get our approval quickly.

3. Pray once we get Immigrations approval, we can submit quickly and that they quickly offer us a date for travel. This is of great importance especially if we are seeking for "D". We learned yesterday that a child in his facility that we had followed for sometime, quickly regressed and passed away last week safe into the arms of Jesus. Pray the Lord would sustain "D".

4. Pray that the Lord would be preparing our son's heart for us. Pray for us as we will need Grace, Grace, Grace for the days ahead and the new challenges each day will bring.

5. We are doing this all for the Lord, pray He receives all the Glory. Pray the love of Jesus Christ shines for through us for a testimony to the people of *krain*, to the facility director and the staff.

6. Pray we obtain favor in the sight of the Judge there. Pray also that the director of the facility would be in favor of the adoption.... Especially with "D" if we go in that direction.

7. Pray the Lord would continue in His faithfulness with financing our adoption.

8. Pray for Mike and I and our children as our time approaches for us to travel. Pray especially for our children and for those who will be caring for them, that the Lord would help and provide the necessary Grace needed to care for 4 children.
