Change of Plans

We have babies!!! We received information last Thursday about 2 little babies that need a family and we have been praying and seeking wise counsel since then. And two days ago, Thursday, July 19 at 10:30pm we decided to take them! So, here comes the change of plans part...they are Ugandan babies, not Honduran babies. They are siblings. The little girl is 22 months old and the little boy is 11 months old. And they need a mommy and daddy (and four older siblings!!)
We never thought we would veer off the Honduran path, but our ways aren't always the same as God's ways. We believe He got us to the crossroads just how He wanted to, so that we would be ready when this information surfaced. After praying and seeking God for a week, we feel at peace with this new path and are thrilled!
We don't know all the details of the change yet, but we have an estimated travel month: December. I am hoping and praying that our trip to Africa will come sooner, though.
But this news definitely brings a new urgency to life. We have rooms to prepare, cultures to learn about, and money to raise. In order to get the ball rolling on Monday we need to write our new agency (Adoptions Plus in Albuquerque) a check for $11,250. Will you prayfully consider making a donation so we can accomplish this goal? I don't want these beauties to stay in the orphanage a day longer than they have to. And if we can send our agency a check on Monday, then the workers in Uganda can start on our paperwork this week! Help us bring our babies home.
