It has been a tough couple of weeks. I'll spare you the details, but can tell you that I've been trying to figure out what it is that God wants me to learn through this. And I'm not sure yet. But one thing that has been made abundantly clear to me is that we are blessed with some amazing friends. My friend, Erin H., showed up at my house last night to give me a CD that had been an encouragement to her. BTW, I played it at full blast and drove the boys crazy, Erin! It was awesome. And then our friends Todd and Jill called and invited us to go out of town with them tomorrow. We plan on going and we look forward to that fellowship!

On the adoption front, Jeff and I have decided to switch to Vietnam. Vietnam had been closed to American adoptions for several years but opened back up last week. It is a very third world country and in desperate need of adoptive families. This may speed things up a bit for us, but whatever happens, we're now praying for our baby girl in Vietnam. She may be born already!!!
Also, we are having our big adoption fundraiser on July 17. I've been working on a CD that is finally finished. Jeff and I have been copying it ourselves and will be selling them for $10. All proceeds will go towards the adoption.

Erin,
Sorry to hear things are rough right now. I'll be praying for you. And I also want to get one of your fund raising cds. Should I just mail you some money and you can mail me a cd? Let me know.
Remember that I love you!
Erin,
Exciting news wherever your baby girl will come from--God knows!
Just have to send you this poem.
Weep a little if you wish!
Once there were two women
Who never knew each other
one you do not remember
The other you call mother
Two different lives shaped to make yours one
One became your guiding star
The other became your sun
The first gave you life
And the second taught you to live
The first gave you a need for love
And the second was there to give it
One gave you a nationality
The other gave you a name
One gave you the seed of talent
The other gave you an aim
One gave you emotions
The other calmed your fears
One saw your first sweet smile
The other dried your tears
One gave you up-it was all that she could do
The other prayed for a child
And God led her straight to you
And now you ask me through your tears
The age old questions through the years;
Heredity or environment-which are you the product of:
Neither my sweet daughter-neither
Just two different kinds of love
anonymous writer
Love and tears,
Sherry
