And Waiting, And Waiting, And Waiting...

And looking forward to the day that we can bring our children home.

Tony went for the interview and let's just say it was a semi-waste of his time. But at least he knows what kind of job it is and that he really isn't missing anything. It would have been a serious cut in pay for about 2-4 months, and if we wanted to bring the girls home, that totally would have been a poor choice. He decided not to take it and he will just keep looking for the perfect opportunity. And at least he has a new suit for preaching, if he ever has the time or opportunity! :D

Speaking of opportunity, our son Cale and I shared a Christmas gift to Tony this Christmas...we pitched in and shared the cost of a Dealership Fee for AmsOil which is something that Tony has always wanted to do, but never seemed to have the money for it. Tony and I are now a Dealer/Distributor for AmsOil products...something to grow for our future! We're working on it girls, really we are!!! :D

We also didn't take that house either. They wanted 3,000.00 to move in...if we had that much money, we would have already paid the promise fee and homestudy! Twins first, housing after...that is what we are thinking at this point. Letting the country know that someone is serious about bringing them home.

I'm also starting to send out resumes again. So we'll see if I can get a reliable job to help with financing this adoption, as it seems that others are having a difficult time getting grants because the money just isn't there. I really don't want to have others totally fund this adoption journey, not when there are so many other children needing homes, and only so many other families willing and able.

Oh, and Tony has already begun thinking about bringing home a little boy with DS after we get the girls settled...well, what do you think of that??? God Is Great!!! All The Time!!!!

  1. JoEllen...First off, praise God on Tony's heart being opened to a boy with Ds. How awesome! I wish I had tons of money so that I could help you and other families bring their children home. You have such love for these girls...I am praying that God will work miracles for you!

    Love, Paula
