Hello!!!
Michael and I wanted to share some specific prayer request updates for those of you who are prayer warriors! Thank you for praying!!!
1. My (Maggie) Passport. We would love it if my passport would come ASAP. There was an issue because they needed another piece of documentation, which set us back a few weeks. A copy of our passports needs to be included on our dossier, so we are praying it comes soon! We would hate to have to delay sending in our first chunk of dossier paperwork just because of my late passport!
2. Fundraising. First of all, thank you to everyone who has donated! We couldn't be more humbled and blown away by the generosity of our friends and family. As of now, we still need to raise a little under $19,000. We fully trust that God will provide! If you are interested in donating towards our adoption, the specifics are on our previous post :) Also, our neighborhood is having a community garage sale on May 15-16. We are taking donations for our garage sale, and all proceeds with go directly towards the adoption. Please pray for a successful garage sale, too! (If you are interested in donating items for the garage sale, please e-mail me mmperry611@gmail.com)
3. Travel. Our first travel date is dependent upon several factors such as timing with paperwork, country holidays, etc. We are praying that things would move FAST and that our first trip can be during the end of July/beginning of August. We would LOVE nothing more than to celebrate our son's second birthday with him :) We trust in God's perfect timing with all of this!
Thank you for praying! Michael and I have been able to make a lot of progress with our paperwork, which is very exciting. While we are in this waiting period, we have been watching the videos that we received of him. Since it is all we have of Royce right now, we literally just study and soak in as much as we can of our son. We are so in love with him :) Some day we will get to share updated pictures/videos!
Thanks again for walking through this journey with us!
