We finally had our fingerprints done today for immigrations! So exciting to be taking another step towards our daughter......:-)
Earlier today when I was getting ready, I thought about how many people adopting (and others too, I have just read more from adopting parents these days) feel Satan tries to stop them from following God's commands and plans He has for us. I honestly was thinking what if we were to get into an accident to prevent us from having our fingerprints done today.......
Well we arrived safely at the immigration office and successfully "walked" in (our appointment wasn't until the 16th). Everyone was so nice and had no problem with us being there 2 weeks early. We left there and I then went to a local community pool to meet up with my sister-in-law and my mom, who had the kids. We let the kids play a couple of hours and then left, well not even a mile down the road, I had looked down at the radio and when I looked back up a car was stopped and I couldn't stop fast enough. I swerved to the right to miss the car, skimmed his bumper and then hit the guardrail....... The van is still driveable but needs a lot of work done on the front end.......
The kids were with me, Mike was at church and my sister in law wasn't far ahead of me, so she came and got the kids and Mike came and we waited for the police. I felt, still feel horrible. The guy driving was only 19, very nice, actually in school to be a nurse, but his car really only had a scratch on it. I just can't believe I did that to the van.
All I can say is Thank You GOD for keeping us safe! Thank you for that guardrail keeping us from going down the hill into some one's home.
GOD will prevail, we will follow His plan He has made for us!
However there is another issue we are having tonight......
Last Saturday someonedumped left a dog on our driveway with a crate, food bowls, and even a toy. How nice of them.......
However we don't want another dog. We already have 2. 2 is plenty!!! After taking it to the vet, to be evaluated and $120 later I found out he was 7-8 weeks old, a mix of chihuahua and something else. Well tonight he has disappeared. Literally DISAPPEARED!
We can't find him ANYWHERE.........
I let him out after we got home, then got food out of the garage and fed him, he ate. But for 3 hours now, he has been missing. We have searched EVERYWHERE. Mike came home about 10:30 and immediately shut the door and was greeted by the other 2 dogs, but no puppy. I have no idea where he could be. He loves to bury himself under pillows or blankets, so I'm worried he has burried himself and cannot get out....I don't know what to do.

Oh Katie, I'm so glad you and your children were not hurt! As you get closer, Satan will try harder to discourage you. As long as we know that, we can handle it! So glad you are one step closer to finding/getting your little girl!
