First, I want to thank everyone for your support in praying for us, Norah, and our process!! We really feel surrounded by such an outpouring of love and interest in our adoption. What an honor! Dave and I sent out a newsletter a few weeks back to most of you just updating our journey, and the financial goals we still hope to reach before we travel. I just want to clarify, because there was some confusion in response to the letter. David, Sam and I will be traveling to get Norah when Holt tells us to come, whether all the money is raised or not. The finances has nothing to do with getting her any faster. We wanted to invite others to support us in the process, because there is a beauty and strength in partnering with friends and family in this endeavor. It invites others into our process deeper, and it gives others the opportunity to share in some rich blessings.
I want to thank everyone who has given! It's wonderful to get notes in the mail and emails from people who are thinking of us and hoping along with us for a speedy homecoming. I have the best friends and family:) As of today, we are still hoping for around $6K.
We are able to send Norah another package here in the next week. I love package-sending time! Holt has restricted it to every 3 months now instead of 2, because of the influx of mail and all the effort it takes to send everyone's packages. We need to update a pic to her of Dave's new look:) He recently got glasses, so here is the new Dave...
