Almost there!

I have gotten all the papers together to be certified and authenticated that I can do. Got to wait on the I800A and our dossier to be finished. Can't do I800A til dossier is complete, so it will be about another month before that paper will even be accessible. We are hoping that the dossier will be complete by the end of this month so that maybe we can get our dossier to China (DTC for future reference) by....May sometime!! That's hoping! Right now, I need you to pray for Zoey. We would really like to have her picture before we send off our dossier. If it prolongs sending our dossier, then we will just wait, but if we have her picture before we are DTC then we could travel before the end of the year!!!! That's what we are praying for (and the money that needs to go along with the whole process, of course! :)
Things are going great with the adoption right now though. Things are right on tract. It's always hurry, hurry, hurry and wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! But we knew that coming in! So..we are good!
Please pray for my parents LONG time friends, Jimmy and Sheila and her 4 kids, their spouses and grandkids and of course my parents. Mrs. Sheila was diagnosed with cancer in Sept. and they think we are at the ending days now. She is only 56 and such a special lady to my family. Please pray for either miraculous healing (Which I KNOW can be done) or that when God takes her, that HIS arms are wrapped around the family (and my family is considered family) to get through this! It's going to be hard! Anthony is preaching and Zackery is a paulbearer!!! So, it's gonna be a tough service! Thank you for your prayers in advance! Love you Mrs. Sheila! And Love you Zoey! Stay well in this weather. Mommy, daddy, bubbas and big sister are coming as fast as we can!!!

Legacy of an Adopted Child
Once there were two women who never knew each other
One you do not remember, the other you call Mother

Two different lives shaped to make you one
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun

The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it
The first gave you a need for love, the second was there to give it

One gave you a nationality, the other gave you a name,
One gave you talent, the other gave you aim.

Once gave you emotions, the other calmed your fears.
Once saw your first sweet smile, the other dried your tears

One made an adoption plan, that was all that she could do
The other prayed for a child, and God led her staright to you
Now, which of these two women, Are you the product of?
Both, my darling, Both, just two different types of love.
