I can do everything through him who gives me strength. - Philippians 4:13

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after oprhans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. - James 1:27

T-shirt fundraiser

We have an exciting opportunity for you to join in our journey. We are looking for help in raising funds for the travel cost of our journey. We have joined in with Adoption Bug to make t-shirts available to spread the word of our adoption. You can be a part just by purchasing a t-shirt direct from them and a percentage of the sales go straight into our adoption fund account. It is a blessing to see the different ways many people join together in helping everyone out.

There is a link on the side of our blog page. You can click right on the picture and it will take you to their site. We have 6 different shirt options that we receive fund from. Take a look and let me know what you think. You are more than welcome to share the link with any of your friends and family. Just pass on this link www.adoptionbug.com/smitfamilyadoption and it will go direct to our family fundraising page.

You can also follow along on our jewelry items on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Jewels2journey/216410108408854

Thank you for being a special part of our journey.

Starting the waiting game......

The game of "hurry up and wait" has began. Today we sent a paperwork package off to get an immigration approval. Having never done this before I am really not sure of what to expect. I have read that it can be weeks before we get an answer back, then more weeks before we can get a fingerprint appointment. Other places I have read said to make sure you have every "i" dotted and "t" crossed, or be prepared to wait some more. Fingers are crossed that when it gets there everything will be good to go. Now the wait will begin.....
