Adoption day at the West home

Ok now that I have your attention- haha, the next 2 weeks my company will be in shutdown so I will be off work. Lisa and I plan to have an "adoption day" where we will be running all over Gods creation taking care of all sorts of paperwork needed for the dossier stage we are in. We recently received an email from Holt stating they are in need of dossier approved families as they are running short right now and have kids for families that will have to wait. We hope to be able to get this done in a month or so. We have $1700 left of adoption funds we raised, the fee is $2700 but we sold our swimming pool and should be able to pay this fee in a month or so. Pray we get through all of the detailed paperwork without any problems. Once we are through this stage all we have left is the final stage which is $9000 or so.

Its been a while

Sorry that it has been so long since I posted, we have been very busy with softball, home fixes and we went on vacation to Savannah GA 2 weeks ago and had a great time. We swapped homes with a great family who had a wedding near our home the same week. It was a very cool way to go and it allowed us to have a very inexpensive getaway.

Please pray for us as we should be hearing soon if we will receive a grant from Shaohannas Hope. Also please pray for my 2 older sons, they are on a missions trip this week here in Ohio on a local missions outreach.
