A few weeks ago, our case worker from our agency emailed us and asked us about an ideal age for our child (a more narrowed age between 0-4). The NEXT day, I got an email with a sweet little baby face! My heart melted from the moment I saw his face. He has the most beautiful eyes! This. was. our. son. I could not stop looking at his precious face. A few days later, we received his official report. Our little guy has been through so much sorrow in his few years of life. I am so excited to be his mommy, but filled with an aching heart for what he has been through. I am so thankful that we serve a God who brings hope to the broken and holds the orphan in His arms. Needless, to say, these past few weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions! Excitement, nervousness, trust, etc., etc.
The courts in Uganda open back up after being closed for a month on August 15th. We should be receiving our court date soon! It is looking like Johnny will be getting off the plane from deployment to his son! What a beautiful day that will be! With the court date potentially being very soon, we are still in need of finances to pay the remaining agency fees and travel expenses. We have applied for some grants and loans, but may not hear back from grants until I am already in country. Would you prayerfully consider helping us bring our baby home? Here's how you can help: Homemade Cheesecakes for $25, Ugandan necklaces for $15, and any "junk" you don't want can be put in our yard sale! Also, you can make a tax deductible donation directly to our agency. When you do this you will receive a tax letter to write it off on this year's taxes. If you feel led to give, make your check out to Across the World Adoptions and put "The Campbell adoption" in the memo line. You can mail it to:
395 Taylor Boulevard, Suite 116
Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
We are so thankful for your prayers and your support! We can not wait until our baby is with us and gets to meet the amazing community of people God has placed in our lives!
