As I wrote the check for our third home study and watched the market drop yet again, I questioned just how we were going to financially do all of this. Paperwork, plane tickets, mandatory donations, etc. are still to come after spending much of our savings on infertility treatments and our adoption paperwork thus far. As the CCAA moves closer to us, I have been filled with excitement and fear. So Dan and I prayed that God would show us a sign that we were still making the right decision and that we should continue to move forward. After writing the check I went to view our finances online and saw an unexpected scholarship was given to me and $1,200 was deposited into my account. Well, needless to say, we got our reply and we continue to step out in faith!
God is Good!!
By the way the CCAA has now matched up to 2/15/06...we are soo close!(Our LID is 3/7/06) Lauren is most likely born and waiting for us. I pray for her everyday and love her so much! We're coming Lauren!

I know and understand.... and I am so happy that you got your reply. Your Lauren is so close now.
Good for you! How awesome is that?! I understand about your fears mixed with excitement. I'm right there with you. We just need to keep moving forward...our girls aren't far off!!!
As the economy becomes scary for so many of us and each dollar begins to matter more than ever and make us question, your post pulled my perception away from the minute and I saw an example of the bigger picture.
Your daughter is so close. Can you imagine her in your arms? Of course, you can. I pray that these doubts are answered for each family pursuing their adoption and in a way that their heart can really find peace like yours has. Thanks for sharing,

That is so exciting, and soooo how God works. I know you can't wait, but I feel like I've known you as a cyber friend through most of this journey, that I can't wait to see baby Lauren in her mommy and daddy's arms. This is so exciting.
