Winding down from Christmas, ramping up on adoption

We got word yesterday that our homestudy copies should be to us VERY soon...they are complete, and just awaiting signatures and notarization. I am hoping that by the beginning of next week, we can file with USCIS.

I filled out the I800A last night and this morning. Boy, it is much more in depth than the I600A!

Let's get these boys home by the late summer/early fall!

That'd be SO exciting to get them home by summer/fall! We sent off our I800A a few weeks ago and it's somewhat startling to think that there's a chance that we'd have kids home by summer or fall! I'm preparing my heart for fall or winter and hope I don't go overdue. ;-)

Words to live by

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

Each one of them is Jesus in disguise.

If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

-Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

"I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much."

"Live simply so others may simply live."

"At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in."

"Never travel faster than your guardian angel can fly."

"God doesn't require us to succeed, he only requires that you try"

"I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things."

"Spread the love of God through your life but only use words when necessary."

"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."

"How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers."

“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
