Trying to update this blog every week can be kind of a challenge. Last week that meant finding time to write a short update on Christmas Eve. This week it means updating it on New Year's Eve...no problem. But trying to write an update during an IU game? This might be a little difficult.
The start of the new year means the real start of our adoption process. Up until this point we've just done a few things here and there, but our goal was always to kick things into high gear in 2013.
We've started looking at agencies and very soon will be trying to schedule meetings with a few so we can find the one that works best for us. We've also scheduled our first fundraiser dinner for February 23 at Westview Christian Church in Campbellsburg. This will be a soup supper that will feature Brian Walton as our speaker, as well as some musical guests. We'll have more information on this in the next couple of weeks. Also on Friday, May 10 we will be having "Can My Yard Night" at our house where you can dump all your aluminum cans in our yard. So start saving those cans! We're looking forward to seeing how big of a mess you all can leave us....but not looking forward to the cleanup as much. We're also looking at a few more fundraisers to take place later in the summer and fall that we'll let you in on when the time comes.
The biggest thing we're looking forward to though is bringing our child home. We know that this process sometimes can't get done in just one year, and that some adoptive parents have difficulties that force them to wait a lot longer. But bringing our child home isn't some sort of New Year's resolution that we've arbitrarily set. We ache for him daily to come home. We don't just want to get him home, we need to get him home and will do everything in our power to make that happen as soon as possible. It's our prayer that God guides us along this journey and keeps our focus on His will. And in our prayers we are also so grateful that each of you has chosen to take this journey with us. We hope that each of you has a wonderful new year.
