4 Bees Liberian Style

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all staying cool in this HOT "Liberianlike" weather :)

Just wanted to let you all know that Odesco and Mercy are officially our children!!!..the adoption is complete on the Liberian side of things...now we wait for the passports to be issued, then we file some paperwork with immigration here, send it all back to Liberia and wait for the flights to be booked. We still don't know which airport they will be flying into so there are lots of uncertainties right now...one way or another , we know the children will be home in His perfect timing. It looks like Jenkins K. will be travelling with our kids :)

I am in official "nesting" mode right now as B3 has officially moved into her purple room and we are reorganizing and getting rid of the excess stuff! My Husband did a great job getting both rooms all done.. they really look welcoming and cozy! I am also busy planning out our school and home schedule for the Fall...it will be a year of great transition and I think "flexibility" will need to be my mantra.

A few days ago in the mail we rec'd 6 Liberian outfits that we had purchased with the help of another adoptive parent at a festival held by Acres of Hope in Wisconsin. Of course, the kids had to try them on and being the shutterbug that I am, I couldn't resist the Kodak moment! We can't wait until the other 2 outfits sitting in the closet will be worn by Mercy and Odesco for an official homecoming picture!

Well, that's all the news for now. Lord willing, our next update will actually contain the specifics of the childrens' arrival home. Thanks for sharing in our joy...we so appreciate how you have upheld us in this!!

Thanks also for the many donations you made to our fundraising yardsale, outfitting the new rooms and outfitting our children! As I organized B4 and B3's closets and saw the matching outfits, I was reminded of your lavish kindness to us at the surprise adoption shower...my heart overflowed once again in gratitude to all of you ...your care and love for us has been a tangible expression of God's abundant care for us!!

Thankyou, thankyou :) With a grateful heart, Mama B
