...and then we wait some more

Thank you to everyone who joined in fasting with me. Thank you to those who sent prayers up in my honor. Thank you to friends who sent good vibes my way. Now we wait for these to work in our favor.  There really isn't anymore we can do at this point.

I continue to work on making sure I am financially ready to proceed with the finalization of  the adoption, fly to Haiti and go through the courts, then bring him home.  Fund raisers still in affect with me until this is complete. Just so you know, I haven't stopped talking about those, so here is your fair warning of what is to come.  I may have another yard sale this year, I still have the bead bracelets I am selling (see previous post for pictures and explanation) and I have some items for a silent auction that I will be doing on facebook (once I figure out how).  Please share this message with folks and spread the word that Kayleen's Kid Quest moves forward and can always use help. :-)

I guess I hoped that once my fast ended I would just have an answer pop into my head with a date that this would happen. (The only "pop" in my head was the Pepsi I chugged afterwards.) When the answer didn't magically appear, I had to stop to think about what my fasting did to help me progress in my adoption and/or my attitude towards it.  It renewed my faith that what I am doing is what The Lord intended for me to do. It was Him who guided me to this path, and it is Him I need to let continue to guide me in it. I think I lost sight of that with different things that have happened in my life lately. I need to put my trust back in Him, while still doing everything I can do - physically, mentally and spiritually.

For those of you on Facebook, there is a page titled Chances for Children. This is the creche where my little guy is living. I get some of my information of the progress from this page. If you get a chance, check it out and maybe like it, so you get the "updates" as well. That being said, on June 10th, they posted the following:  "We have our first two adoption files out of IBESR under the new system! Things keep inching along..." This indicates that maybe my file hasn't been put on hold. It sounds as if they, maybe, hired some new employees and are trying to put a system in place to keep things moving forward, for everyone. Please keep them in your prayers.

I will continue to try and get into mommy mode as I continue to get some of my paperwork updated for them. We continue to try and get the house ready for him as well. We are currently stumped in figuring out a new railing for the living room. We know what we want, it's how to make it a reality that is getting us.  I still hesitate to buy clothes, toys and such for his room as I know there are many who would beat me alive for taking the fun away from them. His room just looks so lonely.

To all the many fans of my quest, thank you. We stay positive, we move forward. I have hope because of you.

Kayleen's Kid Quest continues....
