GUARDIANSHIP!!!

I received a call this morning and found out from one of the most precious voices around that WE HAVE GUARDIANSHIP!!!! Tami, from Dillon called this morning and had quite a time getting through our phone line. It seemed like our phone rang off the hook for various reasons this morning. She said she'd been trying for a while and then finally got through:) I think it is so special that she called and I got to scream in her ear ... I'm sure it made her day! HA!! SOOOOO..... you may be thinking, what does that mean exactly. WELLLL, that means that we are Joseph's legal guardians. Now, we need travel Visas, a passport for our little man and we are on the plane!!!!! We are planning the VERY end of April or beginning of May!! There is a good possibility that we will miss his first birthday (April 30th), but not by much!

Now... I'm glad you are wondering what you can do!! PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY! Pray for trip preparation, the paperwork, safety, heart preparation for what we are sure to experience and see, Joseph's well-being during this tough transition, packing, hooking up with the right travel agent, and our two homegrown boys while we are doing all of this!!! I know that is a lot to ask, but we know our God is great and listens to His children when we call. Oh...and rejoice with us today!!
