Happy Post-Merry Christmas! We hope everyone had a great Christmas celebrating the birth of our King with your families. We are excited to announce the completion of another important step in our adoption.

On Christmas Eve we received an awesome present in the form of an e-mail letting us know that the Embassy had completed our PAIR investigation and we would be receiving our PAIR letter in 7-10 days! This is the last major hurdle before we get a court date and are able to travel to see our Little Lion Man. We are hoping to travel in January for our first trip. Please pray for our family as we near this trip, as there are still many things that must happen before we travel. Pray for our planning and preparation, protection and to calm anxiety within the girls as we are away, and for LLM's heart as I know the next few months will be challenging for him.

We are completely amazed at God's plan for our family. When we submit to His plan, and abandon our own plan, it is amazing to see just how many things happen beyond our control and belief. As we struggle daily to live our lives according to His Word, it is reassuring to know that we have a loving and saving King, full of grace and mercy.

We cannot express our appreciation enough for the love and support shown by our family and friends and cannot wait to LLM of all the people who helped bring him home!

Also, before I forget our adoption t-shirts are in and ready for delivery or pick-up. Please get with us and we will ensure you get your shirt. If you have not paid, they are $15 for all sizes up to extra-large and $16 for double extra-large and up. Again, we are so thankful for those who have participation in this fundraiser.
