FINALLY!!!

Howdy!! So what's going on with us? Well we are trotting right along! Our I-600a has been filed, we are waiting on our USCIS finger prints apt. In the mean time, while we are waiting on that we have everything for our dossier ready and will be sending it with a fellow traveler next week. Evidently we don't need the I-600a results to submit our dossier. We only need it to file I-600.  This is soo exciting!!! THIS IS SOO SCARY!!

EXCITEMENT:
When our POA gets our dossier he will make us a court date. Once we go to court he is officially ours :-) This is AMAZING! This is what we have waited for months for!! We will go to court in the Cape Coast. We are told that it will be very very soon. It is VERY POSSIBLE that we will get to travel in February! To love on my sweet, sweet boy... sigh...I can't wait for this day!!

FEAR:
We are not ready financially to travel so soon! We have 2 fundraisers set up we are prayerful that will help bring in quit a bit. The fact of the matter is we need prayers and WE NEED YOUR HELP!! This coming together way faster than we ever could have anticipated. I know its all in Gods timing, praying we can just keep up!

This is where we are at:
3 plane tickets from Nashville to Ghana    $4,300
hotel/ stay in country for 10 days                 $   600 
Food 10 days 4 people                                         $   200
Souvenirs/ other                                                   $   200
TRAVEL TOTAL                                                             $5,300

This seems impossible!! I know God funds what he favors, but I can't lie my worldly mind is a nervous wreck! I'm worried that because of my inability to come up with funds I will not be able to travel when its time! I know that the impossible is possible with God. He put me in check and reminded me he's got this under control this morning!

FACT:
This is ONLY our first trip travel cost that we are fundraising for. We still Owe our POA 6,000 and we will stay have to earn the money  to travel back to pick our sweet boy up and bring him home. The plan is to finish paying our POA with our tax money and fundraising for our 2nd trip travel cost. I will be the only one to travel to pick him up and plan to only stay for 4 days. so that trip will be much less expensive.

PLEASE, PLEASE CAN YOU HELP BRING OUR SON HOME:
Clearly the majority of our travel cost is going to be airfare. AIRLINE/ FREQUENT FLYER MILES!! So many of you travel often. You can donate your miles and be such a blessing!! It looks like we will be flying Delta. They are the only airline that I have found that only has one connecting flight then straight to Ghana.

Don't have airline miles? We will take any donation you offer! There is no such thing as to small. Each dollars is a blessing! You can mail us a check to 4705 Springlane Dr Owensboro, Ky 42303. We have a paypal account but I'm not sure what you need to add to that. If you know please comment below :-)

And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask him anything according to his will he hears us. 1 John 5:14
