Plane Tickets

We will need three round trip tickets for our first trip to Latvia (Daniel, Heather, and Vita).  We will then need 2 round trip tickets for our second trip (Daniel and Vita) and 2 for our third and final trip (Daniel and Vita).  If anyone has Delta sky miles and would like to use them to purchase a ticket, the tickets are selling for 75,000 sky miles each right now.  Please let us know if you have enough miles and would be willing to donate them to bringing V home!!

Village to Village

We are now being hosted through Village to Village International Ministries. We need approximately $6,000 in order to send our paperwork to Latvia.  If you could spare any 'change' each week, please go over to Village to Village and make your tax deductible donation to help us bring Vita home. Giving up a soda or coffee every day would equal about $7-$10. Every little bit helps. Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!!
We also have puzzle pieces left if you'd like to purchase one for $10.

Happy Mother's Day

Today I feel so blessed!! So thankful for my 4 angels who made me a mommy!! Thankful for angel #5 -14 years old - who will make me a mommy again - hopefully soon! We have been gone the last few days - visiting with family! So happy to see my brother, Richie and his family. They are relocating to NC from MI - and we are so thankful! As a result of this move, I got to kiss on and love on my new nephew, Drake, who is such an angel as is his big sister, Madelyn. So, after not getting the mail the last few days, I checked it today when we got home after church. The best Mothers Day 'card' EVER was in the mail - our immigration approval!! HALLELUJAH! Thank you Jesus!! Now, to move forward - - maybe a few fundraisers, hopefully some grant approvals, and maybe a few donations. We are so anxious to get this paperwork sent off. One special girl is waiting on us, and we don't want to miss anymore time loving on her than we have to! So pray with us that God will provide! Thanks for your support and prayers through this process.

Cattle on a Thousand Hills

We are in the process of applying for several grants that we pray God will use to help fund the next leg of our journey to bring our girl home. Please pray that God will provide. We have a couple of very large expenses due before we can move to the next step. Once we are approved by immigration, we can send our dossier to Latvia, but we have to have paid all of our adoption agency fees first (in the neighborhood of $7,000). We also need to be prepared to leave for our first trip to Latvia when they approve us and tell us when our court date is ($8,000 + plane tickets). So, we need God to sell one of His cattle on a thousand hills! We trust that He will do this through one or more of these grants, and through special donors like you!! It has been amazing to watch God work through this journey. It is one thing to talk about faith and watching God do the impossible, it is quite another to be in the midst of it. God is so good!
