Last night, we met Karen out at TGI Friday for our third home study visit. Only one more left to go!!!
After research and prayer, the Korea situation that was laid in our laps last week will not work out. Once we got all the details, there were many missing pieces and to be honest...the whole thing was a little shaddy. It seemed like we were being used as a ticket for someone getting to the states. Carol, with the agency in Chicago I talked with about this situation was wonderful...they are not shaddy and my friend was so kind to have told me about this possible situation....thank you Fran. It was the mother and father information and details that sent the red flag. Another door closed...praise God for that protection and discernment.
So here we are...what agency do we go with? We have narrowed down our decision to BAAS in California and New Beginnings here in TN. We have a week...or two to decide. Where is our little Melanie? There is no absolute peace about going with one over the other. Both are great...great reputations...nothing negative! God please give us direction... I feel like we are on a time clock!!!
Another prayer request...finances! Once we make the decision on an agency, we have a large amount of money to pay. We have the money to pay for the remainder of our home study. The amount we need would be the large amount to the agency. We have faith that God will provide!!!
Good news...we did receive a very nice donation of $225 this week from a very sweet friend and received $283.50 from selling items at my consignment sale under the consignor number ADOPT last week. Our total of donations are now up to $4356. Praise God!!!
For all those prayer warriors...please pray for two things:
1. Wisdom on which agency to go with (within two weeks)
2. Finances to pay that agency once we decide
