It is great to feel like we are finally making some progress with a dream that I have had on my heart since I was a teenager. It has been a whole year since we lost our little person and it has been hard. But, God has been faithful and He is on the road to completing our family with a very special, very wanted little daughter (we'll nickname her "Sunshine", thanks to Mom-Mom). I have a lot of paperwork to do and it seems daunting (we're done with the fingerprinting!!, step 1 of 200). The wait time for her once we have completed everything is very, very long, too, too long but I will be patient (or at least try....maybe). We are drawn to Albania for some reason (Mother Theresa's home country...one of my favorite people ever) but we're still looking at Russia and the Ukraine. We will watch the different countries' stability and continue to pray as we go through our home study. I feel at peace to wherever He leads us.
So, my love, wherever you are...we wait for you to come to us. We're finally on the path to you. Godspeed... mommy

Hi Guys,
I’m so excited for your adventure on finding “Sunshine”. It sounds like you have a long journey, but I have all the faith that you will find your daughter soon. If you find that you’re loosing hope, you can always read Bono’s speech - On the Move for inspiration.
I think of your passion for finding your daughter, when I read this passage from his speech, “Get involved in what God is doing—because it’s already blessed. Well, God, as I said, is with the poor. That, I believe, is what God is doing. And that is what He’s calling us to do”. You have inspired me to find my calling in life.
I’ll keep you in thoughts and prayers. Can’t wait read more about your journey =)
