BIG News ... HUGE Change...


Well, this is how things go in Africa!

Friends, are you ready for some BIG, HUGE news?

We got a call this morning saying our judge wants to see us on April 2nd now... we were originally scheduled for the 14th...

Guys, we now leave one week from today! We fly out March 25th!

This is just crazy.

We went from being a little under 3 weeks away to being 1 week away in the time it took to answer the phone.

I cannot believe it.

We still have much to do, but thankfully we did a lot on the front end.

Pray for me. Seriously.

I am thrilled out of my mind to meet Samuel earlier than planned, but I am stressed about all the packing and prep work we have left to do!

Keep us in your prayers as we do some 'mad packing'; we don't want to forget anything, since we won't be able to get most things in Uganda, (and if we can get them, they're over-priced).

...

Ahhhh! We meet Sam in 8 or 9 days! Wow! Exciting! It's happening! We're so close now!

...

Ok.

Take a deep breath before I get to this next part, 'cause I know some of you may be tired of it, but here goes:

We need to pay our agency immediately...

With the change of dates, they will need us to pay ASAP so they can get our attorney in Uganda, (and other people we will work with there), paid!

If you were thinking about donating to bring Sam home, now's the time!

We leave in exactly 7 days, and we need to pay today.

If you want to be a part of his homecoming story, here's how:

Online
  • Go to our agency's website
  • Click the 'Donate Now' button
  • Click 'Donate' button
  • Fill in the amount you wish to donate
  • Click the 'Continue' button
  • Fill in the 'Description:' line with the following "Donation for the Cormican adoption" (this is very important)
  • Fill in the rest of the form with your information and click 'Pay Now' when you are ready to submit your payment
Check 
  • Email me or Facebook message me for my address and I will provide it, (we will still need money in Uganda to pay our translator and transportation to and from court and Embassy appointments
  • My parents will be checking our mail for any checks that they can deposit for us, so it will get deposited into the adoption account and wired to us when needed.
(Feel free to share this post with others! Every bit helps!)

Thank you so much for your support. We wouldn't be at this point without you! Your encouraging words, prayers, hugs, and donations have kept us going and mean more than you could ever know!

Here's one more picture of Sam to remind you what this is all about, (iand in case you needed just a little bit more reason to get involved)!
