Donna, from our agency Acres of Hope, called today! She let me know that they received our dossier (big file of all our important info)! One thing that might be a problem is our income. Because Blu is in the ministry, he qualifies for a lot of tax exemptions. So our ACTUAL income is not reflected on our IRS form and W-2s. Donna said she is hoping that the Embassy will go by the church's employment letter that states exactly what we are paid for the year. If not, though, we just have to have a co-sponsor, which is basically like a cosigner on a loan. But we are praying for grace and understanding from the Embassy and that they will be able to figure all that financial mess out!
Things seem to be happening this week--I like it when things happen!!

YEAH!!! One more thing to check off the list! Unfortunately, now comes the real waiting. . .aaagh! So hard, but what a great time to lean on our Jesus!
Love,
Brandi
We're praying for the perfect match for your family. We are rejoicing with you for each step.
BTW I think you might want to check with Donna about donors making donation checks to AoH. I believe for tax exemption receipts checks need to be made to AoH. We, however, make our own checks that we send in to AoH-Liberia.
Love,
Katy
Hey Blu and Darbi and babies!! I went to visit my parents this weekend and mom showed me your letter and I checked out your blog! I am so excited for you guys and fully support your call to adopt! John and I feel the same way and will be adopting from China in the future. I will keep praying for your guys and keep checking out your blog. We just got back from a mission trip to China. I am late about posting it on our blog, but check it out at http://www.etextofareast.blogspot.com/
We love you guys and hope to see you soon!
Your cousin,
