Last night I had a dream about my precious girl. It was so vivid and real and I told her I promised her we were coming to get her. I told her we were finalizing all the paper work, preparing all of her things and getting ready for the long trip to come and get her. She looked at me and her eyes said, I don't know if I believe that, but I believe it is possible.
Then I woke up.
My mind went immediately to my Savior. Before He ascended into heaven He said He would come back and get us, His adopted children, and He said He was going to prepare a place for us, that we may be with Him. (John 14:3) So often I think, really...the God of the universe...preparing a place for me? Sometimes I think, it's possible, but do I truly believe it?
Our package letting our daughter know that we have CHOSEN to ADOPT her got to Costa Rica this past Saturday (February 27th).
We were told her file had not been looked at by other families, probably because of her age. We learned her story and all she has been through, and how she had been abandoned.
In the package we included a card explaining everything to our girl, including pictures and some small gifts. She most likely got this package that day or a couple days later. We cannot wait to Skype with her, to go and see her, and bring her home to her forever family!
Recently we were awarded a matching grant from Life-song for Orphans and We Care for Orphans. Please consider making a donation through this LINK TO DONATE that will be DOUBLED thanks to this generous matching grant.
We have about 30 days to raise the rest of the money needed in order to travel and go get our girl. Thank you for your consideration in helping us!
