Good Things Come in Two

Today we were excited to receive news regarding the adoption from Wyoming Children's Society. Micah had a phone call around 7:00 informing us that they had received our 10 page questionnaire and have officially assigned us to our Laramie Case Worker.  She wanted to let us know that our case worker would also be out of town for the next week, so it would be some time before we hear from her.  We were very excited because again, this feels like it is one step closer. That is how we are viewing a lot of this process; just taking the necessary steps to move us through this journey.  

We were also very blessed to receive wonderful news and encouragement from our friends, Mike and Melissa.  They had ventured on a walk and while on their walk stopped downtown at a local gallery.  The gallery features a lot of Fair Trade/Organic/Recycled products for retail.  They visited with the owner about the possibility of selling some of the journals they have been making with their friend Mark.  The owner was interested in having them sell the journals at her store.  They then shared with us how they have decided to sell the journals for the purpose of providing some financial support for our adoption process. We were again shocked and awed by the generosity of people.  They had also shared this information with the owner of the store and she is willing to return all of the money earned from the journals and even post our story alongside the journals at the store.  The kindness given has been overwhelming and echoes for many days to come.  Words again cannot express our gratitude for this kindness. Thank you for blessing us!
