My son across the seas is waiting, just wasting away and waiting for us to rescue him. We cannot do this alone, it breaks my heart to even have to ask for financial assistance. But, please, believe me when I say we had no intention of adopting now. NONE. God laid this on our hearts and we are blindly following Him in this journey. This should be MY hand he is holding.....
There are days I stand firm and KNOW we will be fine in our efforts of rescuing Alexander. There are days like yesterday, forgive me please, that I just don't see how in the world we can do this. We have gotten word there may be some significant changes in his country coming soon---these changes could stop EVERYTHING in process. Then again, it may not. We just don't know. We are working diligently to get our dossier compiled. I called our social worker again today to see how long til our next appointment and where we are in the compilation of the homestudy.
My passport issues, that I brought upon myself by failing to put my middle name on the application, are wearing me thin. I am waiting, again, for my passport to be returned to me so I can expedite it to Philadelphia and pay for it all over again plus an expedition fee and a fee to overnight it back to me once it is done--all in all what should have cost just $110 will be well over $345. This is not money we have to be flittering away over MY own stupid oversight.
We must move forward with our fundraising efforts and fill our FSP quickly. I was going to wait until May for an online fundraiser, I won't be waiting now. I will speak with Shawn tonight to see what we should do for that.
PLEASE: Pray for us. Pray for Alexander. Pray for our adoption and our fund. Pray for my passport. Pray for all families trying to adopt from the same country we are adopting from. And lastly, please pray for me.

I will continue to keep your little man in my prayers and start up a prayer chain for him with some mighty prayer warriors that I know. We are going to wrap your family up in prayers so that way all will feel the Hand of God!
