Many of you dont know the wonder of this adoption. So before we leave we have a few things we find important to share.
On 12/03/06 we left to adopt Sasha & Nhikko.
We arrived in Estonia 12/04/06
We leave with Alina 12/04/08 to come home. The time difference will put us home on 12/04/08
2 years to the date we will of adopted 4 children from Estonia. Never been done. This adoption was done on grants, garage sale money, gifts from others. To total it up is 10,500.00 :>) We will have to pay for her exit fees and food. $1500.00 I would say!!!! I stress to you not to let money be your reason not to adopt. Get creative and pray. I told everyone I knew that if this adoption was what we were called to do God would provide. And as you see he did, in every way. We as a family have lost and been through so much, yes!!!! But we have not let this be an end to what we think is important. The gift of life, love & a family. How can you argue with that. She knows we are coming, she is excited to say the least, and blowing up my email. I'm just sorry it has taken 12 years for her to have a family.
So I ask all of you, have you prepared you hearts for your adoption, have you hit your knees and ask God to provide for your adoption, are you saving and cutting costs. Did your tithing get payed first this week. Be humble in your asking and don't give up. He is an on time God!!!
May all of your dreams of adoption come true.
Hugs, Melonie

Amen to that Mel, we also had very little time to raise our funds for Amanda's adoption, but we managed to accomplish it with the help of many folks. If it is Hi swill, there will be a way.
