Nothing new...

Hi all. Not much news to report. We're still waiting to hear on our China adoption and don't know when we'll get the call. We have finished all of our training and last week, we sent off for Lily's passport just in case we decide to bring her with us. Now we just continue to wait!

Our contract w/our realtor expires in 9 days and we're trying to decide if we'll try and press through the summer or just quit. People have gone into this feeding frenzy and seem to want everything for nothing. We're just not willing to give our house away & we can't compete w/foreclosure prices so we're looking into other alternatives. Please pray for us as we try and make a wise decision. We're starting to conclude that if God wanted this to happened, He would have intervened and helped this house sell a while ago. We clearly felt led to do this so it's all very confusing. He's not bound by the economy or anything for that matter. All of this amounts to alot of confusion as to how to proceed and where to go from here. We greatly appreciate your prayers for us in this. This was to be our way of paying for our adoption expenses, along w/grants, and with both of these not working out so far, we're going to have to come up with some extremely creative fundraising ideas. If anyone out there has any great ideas or things that have worked for them, please let us know! We are open to just about anything! ;-)

Business-wise, we're still in the process of re-working our website and currently have most of our products listed on Amazon.com. Business has slowed down considerably, which is also probably due to the economy, so we're hoping that things will turn around soon. We're still committed to putting together a quality site where families can come and get information and explore if adoption is for them as well as offer resources for families in the process of adopting. We will let you know when we think we'll be back up and running!
