We are so close to going to China to go get our Ella. We have just about everything we need for our trip. Our fingerprinting appointment is Tuesday August 26th and that's a good thing. I am going to start packing next week when the kids start school so we are very excited about that. The only thing is we are so afraid we are going to run short on funds. I saw a really neat idea online the other day and thought we might as well give it a shot. We are conducting a raffle for a Wii and an iPod shuffle to be given away In September. Please feel free to tell your friends and coworkers about this so we will achieve our goal of $3000.00. I'll keep you updated on how the raffle is going.

UNTIL FOREVER
This morning in China a mother cries
She'll never forget her daughter's eyes
Her heart is broken and filled with pain
Her tears run down like the falling rain.
She has no choice but to leave her there
The cost of keeping is too much to bear.
She hopes her daughter will one day know
True love can be found in letting her go.
This morning in China a baby cries
Hungry and scared as tears fill her eyes
Her mother has left her in this public place
Another lost daughter of the Chinese race.
Someone passing has heard her soft moan
She is soon taken to a foster home.
It's here she'll reside in the care of another
Until she's adopted by a brand new mother.
That very same day in the U.S.A.
A woman cries as she starts to pray
Her heart is heavy but filled with much love
She prays for a daughter she thinks the world of
"Dear Jesus, I ask that your arms would be
Wrapped tightly around the one picked for me
Guard her in China until I make my way
and then in my arms she'll forever stay."
-Tom Fisher
Romans 8:15
Ye have received the Sprit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
