WE HAVE A DUE DATE!!! (well, sort of)

The wait is finally going to end! We got "the call" today and we have an appointment at the adoption center in Kiev, Ukraine for July 12th. We must be in Kiev by July 11th. Please pray for our family as we prepare for this journey of a lifetime. Pray also for the precious child that God brought into this world to be OUR son or daughter. Just the thought of that brings tears to my eyes. We want to thank all of our friends and family that encouraged us along the way. The wait was sometimes very difficult, but it seems there was always an encouraging word when we needed it. I have a feeling that the wait will all melt away...similar to the pain of labor...when we meet our child face to face. God is so good.
