The countdown is on.....3 weeks until I am holding our baby girl!! I can't believe it. This has all happened so quickly; I feel like I am in a dream. I am SO THANKFUL for this opportunity. I have had some people e-mail me to see what our needs are....so I thought I would post our info. again.
We are trying to come up with the money to finish the adoption and pay for my rent/living in Antigua (I am sharing a house with 3 other girls and their kiddos). If you would like to help us....we would REALLY appreciate it. Thank you so much to the people who have already been SO GENEROUS to us!!

Stepping out on FAITH....an awesome place to be. Enjoy your packing and planning....FUN TIMES! Cheri
Oh my goodness...I am just getting caught up on your blog! I guess my disaster in Tulsa is nothing compared to what you and your family have been through and are going through! Wonderful news on the fostering! Hopefully you will be able to get that beauty home SOON!! If the BM interview went well, which it sounds like it did, maybe it will be very soon. I will be praying for that!!!
And I am so sorry to hear about Kali. But also so glad you were able to be with the Chapman's. What tragedy there too.
Praying blessings on you and your family!

That is just awesome you are able to go foster! Hope you don't have to be there too long.
I can't imagine how you must long even more now to be with her since you know she is just around the corner. That is awesome! What a blessing.
I am so happy for you! You will love Emily (I love her dearly) and LeeAnne (another absolutely wonderful lady). I pray that your time away from Chris will be short and that you will have your little one home soon. I pray (with all of my heart) that all of the children will be home soon. :)
May God bless and keep you during your Guatemalan stay. Felicia
So will you get there right at her first birthday???!!! What a gift! Her mommy for her first birthday!

Lindsey - I will be there from the 23rd until the 30th. When are you leaving? I would love to see you :)
Love and hugs,
Julia:)
That is AMAZING!!! So, so wonderful!!! Now you know why the Lord has blessed you with so many trips to Guatemala...you will be able to slide right into a great routine right away. We'll pray for the transition to be a beautifully blessed one!! We're praying!!!
Hugs!

Thank yo for sharing your wonderful news. We had the option to foster but chose not too (could not afford it and we had a daughter at home). Our case was one that went through right before all the hang ups in PGN. The last two weeks it was all I could do to stay in NW Arkansas. I thought that my heart would bust waiting for his case to process through. Hoping for a speedy trip trough PGN so that you Chris, and sweet girl can be together forever.
Remember God is closer than a brother, I think that means a hubby too!! :) God will give you peace and joy and comfort when you are missing Chris. You will enjoy so much being with your baby girl! Since she just turned 11 months you will be there for her
1st birthday right?!?! How cool is that!!
God bless!
Debbie
YOu will miss Chris, but Eliana will fill your days until you are all together again. The sacrifice without him will be so worth it for the extra time with her.
Let's hope you are only there a short time.
WOW! What an incredible journey. We're praying for you, Chris, and Eliana. Do you know how long you'll be there? Praying praying praying.
this is a huge step ... I will be praying for many things for you, Chris and sweet baby girl !!!
I am so excited for you!!! I will be praying that you have a good adjustment!
This is wonderful Lindsey! We will pray the adoption process goes quickly so you can bring that sweet girl home and you all can be TOGETHER! I know it will be difficult to be away from your husband... praying the Lord's grace is sufficient!
I am so excited to read of your news! Fostering your sweet baby girl will be so incredible for the both of you!
I didn't know you lived so close to us... we are just in KY! I hope you are able to meet up with Julia while she is in Guat!
Hi Lindsey! I found you through Leanne Snider Deason's blog...long time my old college friend. I see you are adopting a precious girl from Guatemala...I am not surprised at all! I have had fun going back and reading your journey. Prayers for you!
