Today I just wanted to cry (this is a good cry). We found a translator. We have been getting quotes to translate our dossier to french and the cost was between $1,000 and $1500. We couldn't afford this right now. I got a name of a person from a friend on our group and called and she charged $340. What a miracle. I was so happy. So now we are waiting on the translation and then we will mail our docs to the Congo for court. Our translator knows we need the docs ASAP so she is working on them as a priority. SOmetimes I wish I had more money because some of these people helping us in our adoption I would pay them so much more. Like this person in the COngo Danielle that led us to our little boy. She charged pennies compared to others. Maybe when I win the lottery some day (yeah right, how can I win when I don't play) I will pay these people that have helped us so much. Thank you!


I can't say how things are working out in our favor. It is a blessing to have so much support. I can't sleep at nights thinking of all of our supporters that we have had through this process


I also can't sleep at night worring what will come next and how much time will it take. My head is spinning and always on the computer working on our adoption or trying to support others going through the same process. I have met some wonderful ladies that I feel I have such a connection with because of our adoption. I wish we lived closer.


All I know is that our little boy is waiting for us and he doesn't even know it. Time will come when he will meet us for the first time and I get butterflies in my stomach thinking about it. I will never want to let him go (sorry Dan he is mine for the first couple of weeks). I want him to know we will always be there for him and love him unconditionaly. Ok enough about this but I am so excited.


Tomorrow is another day. I can't wait to wake up in the morning to read any new emails from the Congo. That is the first thing I do in the morning is run to the computer and look at my emails and usually I have emails waitng for me about my adoption.


We are also waiting on a grant for our adoption and praying that we get this grant because if we don't we are unsure what we will do. It seems promising but you never know. We should hear from them this week or next. The grant is from $3,000 to $7,000 so this will help us so much.
Have a good night
