Super Super Super Excited

We are going to be hosting a sweet girl from Ukraine for the month of August.  I am so thrilled as to WHO it is!  We surprised Peyton with the news on her birthday because this girl is from her orphanage.  Peyton is sooo excited. 

We got to know A while we were visiting Peyton at the orphanage and we became a little attached. She was so shy and sweet and standoffish at first.  By the time we were ready to leave with the kids she had pretty much attached to us as well and the river of tears were flowing the day we left.

It has been almost 3 years now and I thought I would never see her again.  But God lead me to follow a Facebook post about a hosting program needing families for kids from Ukraine.  So I looked out of curiosity and there she was.  I have never seen kids from this orphanage on a hosting sight before and I took a double take just to make sure. My heart took a leap just considering the what ifs! 

I have been in touch with one of the coordinators and we are working on the paperwork now.  The agency that did our home study last time is not Hague accredited and so we are looking for an agency that is.  If anyone has any suggestions of agencies that are accredited please let us know.  We live in Missouri. 

We would appreciate prayers for the financial part of this as I just left my job on June 1 to be home with my kids.  It has been one of the best decisions of my life!  My kids are now getting the best of me and not what was left of me at the end of the day. We also need prayers for the stirring that God has put in my heart to go and adopt A.  I am willing but again finances are a factor.  Anyone have any suggestions on fundraisers?   I have seen t-shirts and jewelry but who are the best businesses to use?  I want it to be a fundraiser where people can get something for their money as we don't feel right asking for donations. : )

So that is our exciting news.  I hope to post an update soon on the kids.
