We had a cake sent to her last week for her birthday.

Looks like she enjoyed it!!  :)

A little update on our timeline....we are getting close to traveling to pick her up.

We received our article 5, which is the document you need before travel approval is given.

We should be getting our travel approval soooooooon.

Big "E" loves his FAMILY!!

(I love this boy!!) 

3rd Mommy

Angelina said to me a few days ago , "Mommy,  you are going to be Melody's 3rd mommy!" Her comment was so innocent-But oh how it pierced me.   My heart is aching.... 3rd mommy!!!....Thoughts are swirling in my mind and heart: "3rd times the charm?" " 3's a crowd?"  But I am choosing the voice of TRUTH: 3 is God's number:  Rising on the 3rd day....3 in 1 God.... Complete!  This is mommy is going to be the last one.  Her search for a family is complete!

Happy 2012

Happy New Year!

Double Happiness

We are celebrating a double happiness around here!!
After an 83 day wait we finally received our LOA from China!
What made that great news even better is that we got it on Elijah's birthday!!
Yay!  Thank you Lord!

Online Scentsy Party

My friend, Annette has a big heart for adoption.  Her family just adopted a sweet little boy from China this past summer.   Because adoption is near and dear to her heart, she wanted to help us in raising funds for our adoption. 

She is a Scentsy Representative and  is hosting an Online Scentsy Party called "Melody's Adoption Fundraiser".

She is generously donating 20% of her sales towards our adoption!

Scentsy is so neat. It's like a candle WITHOUT the fire.  

Here's a little description of these amazing products:

 Scentsy has wonderful warmers that use a low-watt bulb

to slowly melt specially formulated wax.

With no flame, smoke, or soot, 

the Scentsy wickless candle system 

is a safe way to enjoy more than 80 Scentsy fragrances.

If you are interested in purchasing any Scensty product, please click: https://annettecox.scentsy.us/Home . Once you are on her website, on the left hand side there will be a place that says "My Open Parties". Look for "Melody's Adoption Fundraiser" & then click on "buy from party" or you can contact her at ourfivetreasures@yahoo.com and she can place your order.  

Thank you Annette for helping us to bring Melody home!! Thanks also in advance to everyone who purchases any Scentsy product and for helping to spread the word about our fundraiser!
