Inquirying Minds

Some of you have asked questions about the adoption, Jimmy's background, etc.  I will try to answer a few of those questions.

Here is what we know about Jimmy.  He was born to a young, single mother.  When he was almost six, his mother passed away.  We do not know what the cause was.  He came to CHCH sometime after that, not sure of the exact date.  He has been living there ever since. 

The adoption will cost between $15,000 and $20,000.  We hope to raise money by doing fundraisers, working extra jobs, selling some homemade things, garage sales, and donations. 

The process takes a while.  For those of you who have been to Haiti, you know that things don't exactly work on a time table.  So, it is very hard to give an exact time frame.  Chances for Children gave us an approximation of 12-18 months.  We are hopeful in that wait time but realistically it could be much longer.  In Jimmy's words, "we are praying the long time goes quickly."

Thank you all for your encouraging words and prayers.  We are following God's path and know He will show the way.  We just pray for our hearts to remain open and our minds focused.
