We are home & hugging our kids a little tighter tonight. I don't even know if I can put into words the roller coaster of emotions that we've felt in the last few days. We have gone from being completely hopeful to totally disappointed in a matter of minutes. But we are doing fine. The emotions are still raw but we fully plan on continuing this journey that God has called us on.

A question that we've gotten asked is if we lost money. We did lose some. There are just fees that need to paid to get an adoption this far. Everything else will be rolled over into a new situation. The problem is that we will need to come up with more money to do another adoption. We have already been in contact with our agency about any new situations. Again, we are the only family with them right now willing to accept full african american so we know this could fast but we really have no idea how long to expect it to take.We literally heard from the last grant application the day we left & were not awarded anything so those are out. So our only option is to do fundraisers. To be honest, we are exhausted with fundraising. We have done everything that we know to do within our power & our creativity is running out. We haven't booked any suppers in a long time b/c we just had no idea on when this baby was going to come. Suppers are our best way to continue raising money to make up what was lost. We really only need to do about 3-4 suppers & we will be right back to where were when we left for Chicago. We will host in our home or cater at a location of your choice & we have numerous menu options. We absolutely love to do them! We ask you to give this prayerful consideration.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your prayers! I'm so amazed by the prayer support & we can feel them. We also know God is sitting right in the thick of our grief with us. He has never left our side for a moment & we know He will be with us as we continue on.
