Well we are plugging away with the adoption and moving forward. We have walked through a few doors that God has opened. With God’s timing and direction we will be the “pilot family” for Lifeline Children's Services’ new Colombia Program. This is a wonderful ministry and we are honored to be their first family in this program. God is continuing to bless us! A few weeks ago, Lifeline informed us that because we are willing to be the pilot family for this program, they wanted to award us with a $2500 grant towards our agency fees. This was a huge blessing, obviously. Well as everyone told us it would be, this great news was followed by the worst week! Which included, but was not limited to, Julia splitting her lip when her train car came unhitched at the pumpkin patch and rammed into a tree, our car exploding and my personal favorite…..Jacob lying to the administrator of Homelink and almost having his first suspension in Kindergarten!!! So, I guess we have our first battle scars for this process. They were biggies.
So the chain mail….. last night while updating myself on Facebook, I was included in a chain mail message that read like this:
Ok Ladies, Young and “mature”… it’s that time again…Breast Cancer Awareness!

So if anyone is wondering….. “I am going to live in Colombia for 1 month!”
Those breast cancer posts are insanely stupid, but... I love the answer yours gave! I must be moving there, I will live in Columbia for 26 months. Ok by me. :)
