So Here Is The Plan...

So, here is the plan. When we knew that Yana was lost to us (at least for now) it was hard to make the decision to move forward. We looked at pictures and thought of many different options. I had Matthew look too. He fell in love with Phoebe and I picked another little girl from the same region. I really didn't want to make a decision. I wanted them both. So, when we contacted the agency we inquired about both of them. If you are at all familiar with thier country of origin, you would know that sometimes it doesn't always work out the way you want it. So after talking to our agency and Andrea, we have made this decision. When we submit our dossier we will submit for two and meet two of them on our first trip. Then before the court date we will petition the court (or whatever you call it) and see if they would allow the adoption of two. If they say yes, we can tell all of you at that time who the second child will be. If they say no, it will be heartbreaking for us because we will have already met the second child, but we all know adoption is not for the faint of heart. We could just move ahead with Phoebe, but we can't not try. So, we are going to be pounding out the paperwork and trying to fundraise for more $. To bring them both home, we need about $36,800. We have over $16000 (includinhg Phoebe's fsp.) So please pray for our adoption of beautiful Phoebe (and maybe a second child,) pray for more fundraising ideas/funds and please pray for Yana that she is safely protected by God and her angels. Oh, and the agency said if we can get the paperwork done soon and get the money, we might be able to have Phoebe (and a possible second child) home by the end of September before our visas expire. Now, I need to get to bed so I can work tomorrow and then come home and pound out more paperwork. Thank you all for your support!!!!!!
