A road block that we see as a blessing

Of course we knew that somewhere along the way there would be a road block and here it is. This road block means we are not going to get to pick up Levi in December now. For those of you that don't know, Levi has congenitial heart diease. Levi has to have one more surgery by the time that he is 4.  His foster mom says that he is in need and ready for it now. Eric and I are very sad that we are not going to be able to be by his side during this and he is going to be way across the world in Singapore as if it isn't hard enough having him in China, but now our baby will be going through all of this without us. One thing we do know is he has God on his side watching over him and loving him and we know He will take the best care of him. We are praying for a succesful surgery and a rapid recovery. Levi will hopefully have his surgery in November she is waiting for the funding to come in from the hospital. We feel that this is a blessing because now when Levi comes here he will be done with his surgeries as everyone knows there are many things that come along with adoption, but one is the bonding process sure we are believing that it will be great, but that is a huge thing for a little guy to have to go through and to have a major heart surgery right when he got here on top of it all we felt that would be a lot on him. Even though this is hard God has perfect timing and he knows what is best for all of us. We thank him and praise him for this. By the way we have new have new pics so if you want see email us. 

Fingerprints

We had our fingerprint appointment yesterday. Everything went well we were in and out in about 30 min. We are praying for our approval to not take very long. We are so ready to get our boy! 

God is Amazing!!

Tonight we had some dear friends over for dinner, Linda and Joanie, who we met at a Joyce Meyer conference last November. Little did we know that there was a bigger surprise then just the excitement of the evening. Linda and Joanie have a bible study/ prayer group and they all got together and had a yard sale to raise money for Levi. People came from all over to donate items to be sold for the sale. Tonight when they came over with much excitment they handed us an envelope full of money that was made from the yard sale. We were completly blown away. Eric and I had no idea this was going on. Thank you Linda and Joanie, you have touched us more then you will ever know. God has truley blessed us with such wonderful friends. Levi is so loved already and we could not feel more blessed to have been chosen to be his parents.
