My Favorite places to go · February 20, 2009

Hi all!! I thought that I would share with all of you some of my favorite blogs! Some are links to organizations that are AWESOME at providing help to orphans---others are family blogs that are inspiring and just plain fun to read!

On the adoption front....no real news!! We have been waiting about 5 weeks- so I guess that I should not expect anything yet--but there always is that anticipation when we wake up that there will be a message in my in-box announcing our approval!! I also am waiting for an update on Samuel--hopefully with pictures!  We did find out that we are in the "review room" which is great--but whether our documents are atually being reviewed--I have NO idea!!!

 

As always--prayers/good thoughts are so appreciated!!! We will let you know when we have any news!!

Enjoy our links!!

Love--

Darrin, Amy & gang!
