The Kindness of Friends and Families

As Rob and I are preparing for the trip to the cities tomorrow to meet the social worker I am again reminded of how blessed we are to have such wonderful support from friends and families.

Late last week a friend of both Rob and I was awarded a Hometown Hero Award, with that came a check to his charity of choice. What a true surprise, and honor, it was to see that he had asked that the donation be made towards our adoption.

Already this week we have raised over $100.00 in the coffee fundraiser! What an amazing gift this has been, and I am so grateful to all of those who have bought coffee or passed along our information. And a very special thanks to an "old" friend who is designing business cards for me to share with people in the future.

Even Uncle Josh has offered up his traveling expertise....that is if we do have to make the 2 trips, he has offered to go along with me on one of those.

So as I do what I do best......worry about the things I can't control, and become a little bit anxious, and excited, to meet our social worker tomorrow. I know that it won't just be Rob with me, as I have been reminded this week that so many others are following along on this journey.


You don`t choose your family. They are God`s gift to you, as you are to them. Desmond Tutu
