          Hi,

 Could you keep our family in your prayers?  We are just barely starting a process that hopefully will result in an International Adoption.
 
 We are hesitating even telling family members until we are further along -- there may be some disapproval.
   
 However, dh is finally the one who is bringing it up, and wanting more info, even making the phone calls to talk to the agency.
         
 I am about ready to pop I am so excited.

 That's so exciting.
  I'm rejoicing for you and the child God has in mind to bring into your family.  We're actually leaving on Wednesday the 11th to bring our daughter home from China!! 
 I'll be praying for you!!

 This is wonderful!  Hope this is God's plan for your family -- I know with my brother and SIL, the two they adopted from Guatemala have blessed their family in so many ways....
 
 I'll keep this in my daily prayers!

 We go tomorrow to be fingerprinted for our international adoption. This 11/6 will be six years since the knock on the hotel door in Guatemala which we opened to such love it stole my breath. God truly blesses adoptive families.
 
 I am so happy for you!!!
 
 Love and prayers,
 
 Marybeth and family
