Today has been a day of moving from disbelief to wonder to complete excitement!!
Our dossier is submitted. Our dossier is submitted. The next step is getting our SDA appointment. That is the time and date that we will need to actually be in EE to receive Timothy’s referral.
EE? Never in a MILLION years did I ever think I would be going to Europe. I mean, yeah, there was that whole traveling abroad dream, you know the one you have before reality smacks you in the forehead and you realize that you don’t even have any clue what you want to be when you “grow up” so you just move on, get married… well, you know the rest. Seriously though, Eastern Europe? To adopt a child? A child with special needs? A little boy that I’ve only seen photos of, and don’t even speak his language?
Not in a million years would I have ever imagined how our story has unraveled… the people that God put in our lives these past few months who have had a part in this story. We have been working hard to raise the money, to get the paperwork done just right, to beat the deadlines. Two down, one to go!
Our story is still happening. It’s happening FAST! I am so thankful for that! God taught me to wait on Him, and that He knows where I need to be, and I am glad of that. Of course, I’ll admit that He could have just sent me an email or stuck a note on my windshield, I would have listened and it would have saved us a lot of time in this process. hehe Ok, I know, I’m being silly, but sheesh, why do the good lessons have to take so long and be so hard!?
We are in the home stretch. The third trimester, so to speak. The end is near. We will soon have our wonderful little boy in our arms!
Thank you Father for your blessings.
I am so happy for you all. Tears fill my eyes just knowing that Timothy will be blessed with a home such as yours. It touches my heart and makes me happy that I could help... even if it was a little. You have so many people who care and who are honored to assist you in this journey. May God bless your home and hearts always.
