2 Yeas Ago......

Two years ago I filled out my first piece of paperwork to begin this amazing adoption journey!  I cannot believe where God has brought me to today.  He has shown me how my timing is not what's important.  He has shown me how to trust in him like I never have before, and YES, he PROVIDES!!!  He has broken my heart in a way that I never knew it could be broken, yet filled it with a hope and joy that is indescribable.  Although I have no idea who my child is, if my child will be a boy or a girl, how old or even where in Peru my child is from.....I can tell you my heart aches daily for my child.  I pray that my child is being taken care of and loved until I can get there!  Some days I feel so close....yet so far away. 

Adoption Update:
I spent this summer working on the dossier paperwork.  This paperwork is what will be sent to Peru to allow me to be matched with a child.  I have been blessed to have so many friends and family help me raise $1781 through donations, Pampered Chef fundraiser, yard sale, Chic-Fil-A fundraiser and Der Dutchman fundraiser....can you say YEA GOD!!!  At this point I am still trying to come up with $4200 to complete the dossier step.  God is good!  I am trying to finish this step by the end of September, but again, it's God's timing not mine.
