our summer is gone!

Our little summer is gone, she was our first foster child, and today we dropped her off, and she will not be returning!! It was very hard to say good bye, she cried and screamed and cried for us. Her arms in the air, begging for us to take her. It was very rough!! I pray to God that he will keep her safe!! We love her!

waiting for our visas

We sent our paper work out on tuesday to apply for our visas. We should get them back this coming week... we are so so close. We are still waiting to get our travel announcement (TA)... just a few more weeks!
