A few minutes ago, I was explaining to our Laura about "N" having to go back home to Eastern Europe on Friday (7/29).  Laura says to me, "Can I come?".  Oh how I wish we could all go and stay until she can come home with us!  We are still unable to post pictures of her.  We will do so when we are given the all clear from the agency!  We LOVE "N"!!!!  Y'all would too.  During our wait to adoption, we will be continuing to look for ways to fundraise the money for her.  If you own a business and would like to put her story up and a picture, we could provide you with this and a can for donations or maybe just a day where you give 10% of your sales that day!  I know she would be more than grateful to hear of all these stories just for her.  

"N" continues to learn English and very fast, we think.  Playing UNO cards with us really helps her with numbers and colors.  American kids' movies and also Francesca Batestelli (Christian contemporary music artist) are fast becoming her favorites.  Ice cream, chocolate milk, cheeseburgers, fries and Texas BBQ are some of her yummy favorites.  Oh and she loves Cinnamon raisin bagels.  She told me, "What a pity we don't have these in my country!".  HA!  

Prayers for "N" and for us.  Our hearts will be fractured until we meet again.  She is truly a blessing and a joy in our lives now.  Pray that the Fish family has other opportunities in the form of foster care, as our home study will be finished in the next 1 1/2 months.  We must attend CORE adoption training with the agency on the 12th & 13th of August and then a final home visit.  Our desire is to serve the least of these as God commanded us.  Will you help us?  We still need a few hundred dollars for the home study fee, $375 for the CORE training fee and $800 for "N's" travel costs that we need to pay.  Thank you all for continuing to pray and support us!  We are so grateful for your love towards us and "N".
