Exciting news!!!

I'm sorry I have not been great about frequent updating! But here's an exciting update...

We have accepted a referral for an adorable 2 year old boy from Democratic Republic of Congo!!!!!!

For those of you new to International Adoption...most people wait a LOT longer for a referral so we are thrilled. Also--a lot can happen before this child is officially ours. We have paid an acceptance fee and from here, he will have a medical exam and his birth certificate will be obtained. From there it's a little complicated...ask me in person and I can give more details:)
We would love prayer that everything goes smoothly!

Also--we were expecting to have more time to save money and fundraise. We have opened an account on adopttogether.org --if you want to be a part of our adoption by giving, it's tax-deductible. Super awkward asking for money...and we don't expect it! But we are asking God to provide the money we need! Some people want to be part of adoption not by adopting themselves but giving to others so here is a chance for that. We plan on doing some fundraising too so stay tuned!

Also if you go to the site, type in our last name and our site will pop up...cute pic of the kids...but yes, Violets eyes are closed :) I will be updating that picture soon!

We are still deciding on a name for the cutie. His given name is Constant.

Thanks for your support as we enter this next stage of life!
