We are good to go

2 more nights -well, 1 1/2 since we have to be up at 4:30 a.m. Thursday morning. YEA!!! Today we picked up the Visa for Carlos. He said Visa now United States and see Angie and Judi, Tia Jeralyn, Abuela, Abuelo, Tias, Tios, Cousins, Amigos, and Amigas. Love our spanglish language! The other night Carlos asked for jugo in the chicken. What he was saying was juice in the kitchen. Chicken-Kitchen- sounds similar!!
Tonight we talked to a caseworker who brought us some information on a 13 year old girl who she is trying to place in the U.S. She has been working on placing this sibling group and has had to split the children up to get them into homes. She thinks that she has 2 homes for the younger siblings, but for Laura - the 13 year old - she is struggling to find a home. This is of course heavy on our hearts, as Carlos is also 13 years old. We can see that Carlos simply desires the love of a family. What a simple desire - to be loved. Laura has been placed on our hearts. We pray that someone will open their home to her and that she too will receive the love of a family. The process to adopt is not quick or easy, but it is one of the most rewarding, life changing things we have ever done. Carlos has brought us so much joy and laughter!! Our process all started when someone mentioned that a 13 year old boy needed a home.....Praying for another home for Laura.
