Again, I
THANK YOU ALL
so very much for your continued support
in our current fundraiser.
I really do teeter between whether it's in good taste to
ask for adoption money.
Not sure if it's a pride thing or what.
But in my heart I feel like as a body of believers
(since most of you are Christ-followers),
it's important to share our needs
and trust that God will lead those who are called
to help out to do so.
And if it is really repulsive to you to hear people asking
for money,
please know that I don't want anyone to give unless
you are fully convicted to do so.
I hope you will at least continue to follow along our
journey and pray for us.
So I thought I needed to share a bit more about our
new fella!
I'm rather limited to what I can say about him.
This Hague thing has everyone on pins and needles
not wanting to rock the boat and mess things up over misplaced
information.
And my agency reads my blog (Hi, Agency!).
So, it's kinda like Mom riding in the back seat on a date.
Our new son, HH (not even sure if I should put his name here)
is 11 years old and has been on the list waiting for a family for
almost two years.
He is from Macy's orphanage.
And yes, Macy knows him.
She says he is a very nice boy and is very shy.
Great.
Another shy one.
Oh well, Lucy seems to make it her mission to balance all that out.
We have lots of pictures of HH but since I can't share them
with you...well, I can't share them with you.
:(
But he's a cute young lad (oh my gosh, I sound like a grandma).
And for whatever reason, he reminds me of a
Chinese Beaver Cleaver.
But here's the saddest part.
HH has a big brother.
That he will leave behind.
Both boys were on track to be adopted together
but because of some sort of mix-up with
brother's name, his paperwork wasn't in place
in time before he aged-out.
Macy talked to the brother on QQ (Chinese-type Facebook),
DIDN'T tell him about us, but did ask a few
questions regarding adoption.
Brother said that he realizes that he is too old to be adopted
but very much wants HH to have a family.
It's more than my heart can take.
I do ask that you will spare your advice on this.
We have done all we can do to figure out a way to bring
them both home.
And yes, I'm well aware of Vickie's situation. She and I are
friends and have already talked about this.
A few things are in place, just in case.
But right now it is completely and fully up to God to work
it out, if that is His will.
I've probably shared too much.
I'll likely edit this after I hear from my dear friend Patty
who always keeps me in line on these matters!
