We received a letter from our agency case worker Melodie in Liberia today filled with GOOD NEWS about our case! Our decree is very near to being done, written, signed, sealed and delivered! YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We have discussed making travel plans for the first time in a very long time! Andthe PHOTOS! OH our sweet baby looks so good!!! One friend said "his eyes are captivating" and she is right...for a baby who used to look very "Sunset sign", very nearrly blind and not very "checked-in" this observation is HUGE! (and correct!) See for yourselves.
His nanny was changing him and singing to him when Daniel burst out laughing and making sounds.
What answers to prayer are apparent in these newest photos!
Yesterday was a Daniel news day too, but in a different sort of way. Our local CHILI'S Restaurant does what they call "Give Back Days" when they arrange with a non -profit fund raiser to donate 10% of all sales for a given day to that fund raiser. Gideon told his manager about our adoption and we were told to come in and talk to him yesterday. The manager, Kevin, was SO supportive and helpful! We are having a fund raiser on May 26 (Wednesday) for Daniel's final adoption expenses:his plane ticket costs! I will be making up a flier to send out, hand out, share around telling people about Daniel's adoption, his needs and our plans to bring him home. Anyone who comes to CHILI'S on "our night" with a flier will be donating 10% of their food sales to our adoption fund through The Shepherd's Crook, the non-profit organization which has a fund for us already and through which we have raised almost all of Daniel's other expenses! We are praying for a great turn out that night so that when Daniel does getto come home, we will be nearly debt free and with adoption reimbursement funds from Charlie's job can repay ABBA FUND and PATHWAYS FOR LITTLE FEET for the loans they blessed us with last year. We are repaying nwow at a small monthly rate, but want to be completely paid up when we start the surgeries and doctor visits related to Daniel's hydrocephaly.
REJOICING and dancing a WILD DANCE in thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father!
