Here's what's going on...

Alright...not much has changed process wise since Nick blogged last I just wanted to let you know where WE were at.

It's Mother's Day (Mom I love you) and it's going to be my last one without being a mom!!! I was so excited today at the thought of this and began dreaming once again about the realities of this child coming. We are nearly done with all our paperwork, we did it rather quickly but still aren't fully there. The doctor visits are almost done, the reference letters have nearly all been returned, and the 125 essay question surveys are just a few away from finishing. Before we can move on to the next phase of this (the home study) we have to have all of this paperwork turned in with a check written for 1,500.00. We have had amazing donations come through putting us at the 800.00 mark. We would love for you all to buy stickers from us. We have it set up on paypal on here...please pass the word! We need to raise the other 700.00 before the end of may. On June 6th we'll be having a garage sale at wich we are hoping to raise a whole bunch more money. There are many ways you can help; buy a 5.00 sticker, sell some to your friends, donate an item for our garage sale or help us think of a new way to raise money!

Thanks everyone for praying on our behalf. Keep parying for our little children as some of them are with another family at this moment. Thanks everyone for continuing to ask lots of questions and showing us your love and support and excitement.

Much love,
Mandy and Nick
