Wow
4:36 PM
Thank you thank you thank you for all of the wonderful prayers and comments I've gotten today. Although I can't get on blogs at work, each of your comments came through my email and the few times I was able to check email today they made me smile and gave me renewed hope. :)
Tonight I came home to find an email in my inbox from my adoption agency. In it was my official Hong Kong adoption application acceptance letter and the documents needed to begin paperwork to file my I800a. Wow! (Of course along with that comes my next chunk of change that's due - $4,000 plus the money needed for the I800a when I send that in - which I think is $670?) And while I have ALMOST all of this money (SO blessed!!!) I am still a bit short. I'm awaiting a check from my recent etsy fundraiser and once that comes in, I will still need approximately $1400. I have big hopes that this will come in SOON! God has been SO very good!
Remember, you can purchase coffee from the link on the left, a handmade necklace from the link above, under the header, or get a great blog design! Also, I still have three sets of a tshirt and the book "Red Letters" up for auction below!!!
Again, thanks so very very much for your prayers and support!

About Me
I am a single mom to four amazing kids; each of whom just happen to have been adopted. The first three were adopted through foster care, and we just completed an international adoption from Haiti. Our family has grown through adoption and I am all the more blessed to know each of my children. I worship a mighty God, teach Special Ed, love bargains, and am inspired by Pinterest... come along with us for the ride!

What you should know about HIV
-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles).
- HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives.
- People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do.
Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong
Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow
Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom
But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky

God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
