We are making great strides toward our goal.  With each passing day, the reality sinks deeper and deeper that we will soon share in the greatest blessing of being parents! (I know you parents of toddlers or teenagers out there are laughing at us right now.  That's okay, we can be naive and live in our perfect little bubble for now.)  Family and friends, you are truly a part of our adventure and we are grateful to have you along for the ride.

We are now in the "So, where are we staying when we get to Florida?" phase of our journey.  This is the hardest part for me, being the planner I am.  We will have to be in Florida for possibly 6-8 weeks. We know God will be faithful and provide for the time we need to be there.  We would appreciate your continued prayers that we will receive the funds we need to finalize the adoption, that we will have a place to stay while in Florida and of course for the health of our baby boy!
  
With much love and gratitude,
Joe and Debbie
