ADOPTING A CHILD WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD
BUT FOR THAT CHILD THE WORLD WILL CHANGE
To give away money is an easy matter and in any man’s power. But to decide to whom to give it, and how large, and when, and for what purpose and how, is neither in any man’s power nor an easy matter…

Finally some good news!!

It has been an incredible month! I passed my NCLEX test for nursing last week, thank you to the Lord above for that one! I started my new job, for which my husband is so glad as he wasn't holding it together financially with me not having a job any longer. It is a really nice nursing and rehab facility not far from home.. the hours stink but then so did the hours in all the other careers I have had in my life. (At least this one has paid holidays, vacations and benefits!)
And then today I got an email from our agency that we had our day in court today!!! I am not sure what this means exactly but it is a good thing!! She said that the director of the orphanage said it went very good and now we are just waiting on the final paper. One of my adoption dad's told me that this comes around 10 - 14 days later!! And then we would get our travel invite. Jay figured it out to be around the end of Oct. I am pushing for the first of November.. which would work perfect with all the events going on with the kids!! It would be PERFECT!!
So after a long hard year, that I would never relive! It is finally coming to a close and good things are now happening! I am very grateful that I have such a wonderful family and a great support group of friends!
We are doing a fund raising garage sale this weekend towards our travel to get Cooper so this will help. I have also been in contact with one of the adoption grant programs and I will call them tomorrow to see if we have been accepted for help with our travel expense. Besides this everything else is completely in place!!
