HERE IT COMES!!!!

Ok, this is MAJOR folks! This is a HUGE step, and it needs MASSIVE PRAYERS!!! THIS is why my stomach was in knots the other night, only I didn't know why until now!

Today I got an email from the other side of the world.

Later this week, our family profile will be submitted to the officials of Ianna's country. This is the profile I labored over, to get every word just right. It is the one I sent back in July to have translated into their language. It is this profile that describes our family, tells our story, and why we....us....Dean, Angela and I, would be a family worthy of adopting a child from their country, between the ages of 9 and 11 years old, who just happens to have Apert syndrome.

Our family is a complicated one; difficult to explain to someone who doesn't speak your language and lives by different laws.  Did I say the right things? Did I say enough? Too much? Will they find us worthy? Please Lord, YOU told us we are worthy, let them see that too.
