I am so happy to hear your story. We have just heard that a girl we hosted last summer and at Christmas is not registerd. Everyone said to find another child. I don't think so. I would appreciate it if I could talk to you for advise. You can email me at mtcpa@swbell.net or call 8306259717.
Praying for the best flight home for you guys!
Congrats! Can't wait till your home! We too are in the process to adopt an older child this time! You are an inspiration!
God is so good! Safe travels & Congrats from the Wests!
Michael,
We would be happy to talk with you. Give me a day or so to catch up and I'll get back to you.

I am so happy for all of you! We are on a journey also -- for two, maybe three girls. Many naysayers have been along the way, but we just have to keep listening to God. Congrats on your family victory. Praise the Lord!
