Informational Picnic!

Hey everyone! The informational picnic last weekend went amazingly well - thank you for your prayers! Many of my dear friends and family took time out of their busy schedules to come and learn more about adoption as well as become a little more educated about HIV. Dr. Christa and her husband, Rob, shared their story about how God moved their hearts to embrace a little one from Zambia, after serving as missionaries there and personally witnessing the tragedy of watching the great suffering of AIDS that has already taken millions of lives, including millions of innocent children. I'm so tremendously thankful for everyone's attentiveness, honest questions, and excitement about this little one joining my family! Here's some pic's from the day!

P.S. I've decided on one of little busters names - Jeremiah (after Jeremiah 29:11).
P.P.S. I got fingerprinted this past Saturday - now I'm waiting for USCIS approval - which will probably take about 2 months.

Isaiah - isn't he absolutely adorable!

Introducing Scott! If you haven't met him yet, he's amazing - hope you all get to meet him soon! I am a very lucky girl!
