Blessings. . .

Just a quick update on everything that's going on. With your help we were able to make the first payment of $2776.25 and move forward! Over 10% percent of the puzzle pieces now have a sponsor. We hope to post the first pictures of the progress this week. It has been a tedious process to prepare the puzzle to get the names put on it. We are very thankful for all who have sponsored pieces and appreciate your patience in waiting for pictures of the progress.

We've been frantically gathering paperwork and finishing training for our homestudy. We have our last homestudy visit on April 9. Please pray that clearances come through quickly and that we'll have a second installment of $2776.25 and the $890 that we'll need to submit in order to get USCIS approval to bring Brooklyn home. We're continuing to believe that God is already working on hearts to help us be able to make those payment.

Please keep us in your prayers throughout this process and share this blog freely. Check back regularly for new updates. We expect to be updating more regularly now.

Finally, we received pictures this week from Brooklyn's birthday party on March 20. Our little girl turned 2! While we weren't there to celebrate with her this year we look forward to celebrating her next birthday with her!
