Not to...

Well, like I said in the beginning, to Blog or not to Blog. Thinking the answer is not.

No comments, little response, very few reasons to let this be where I put my time. I need to put it to better use; getting my little one here. If you want to stay updated, you know where I am.
God Bless each and every one of you. Thanks for reading.

I LOVE my Dad and Mom.

Real Time

I can't express in any words my feelings right now. I have tried every avenue I know to secure funds to adopt. Credit union loans, home refinancing, etc. all to no avail. Loans and grants from reputal agencies are limited in various ways that make them unacessable to me either at this time or at all because I am a single parent. (That hurts. There are a lot of single parents out there...seems a little discriminatory.) Asking friends and family to reach out and share my plans with their extended families has met with minimal success. To each of you have have offered help and prayers, thank you so much! It means the world to a little guy in Russia! And to me.

I am anxious, hurt, lonely, scared, depressed and confused. I have moved forward with each step of the process, however. I am confident that this is a road God want's me on, whatever the outcome.

But it's Real Time. This is the real story. If I am unable to secure funds in a REALLY short time, I will have no options or means left to go forward and continue trying to adopt this little one. With that in mind, here is my plea...

Do you know of an avenue that I can contact about borrowing from.
Can you or do you know of anyone who is in a position to make a private loan...
Can you or do you know anyone who can loan $1000, or offer it for barter or trade...
Do you have any ideas to offer that I can persue quickly...
Will you pray for God's desires for our family to come to pass...
I will explore any option!

Please leave me a message. I would be my pleasure to talk to each of you that has been following this story. Thank you for helping it unfold.

God Bless...

News From Russia

I heard from my coordinator today. Because the little one that I have fallen in love with is going to be 4 soon, they will be moving him to another home. She said it is more remote...makes it much harder to process adoptions. I need to prove that I am moving forward with my plans for them to delay this move, so I am busy with paperwork from the Home Study and Dossier in hopes that he will stay put long enough for me to get it all together!

Please pray for my family as we work through this. It's hard to wait and want, but God is in control. Oh, I have been meaning to tell you were he is now! The city is Arkhangelsk. Look closely...Yes that is Arch Angel! I just so love that. I know there is an angel watching over him until I can.

My sincerest thanks to KC and JC and my mom. You know my heart and I love you.
