As I was opening my email this morning, I noticed something from our adoption agency....... It was a forward of our approval of adoption from the Philippines!!!! The Inter-Country Adoption Board has approved our adoption request....... and now, social workers in the Philippines are looking at our Dossier so they can match us with the two sweet, cute, cuddly little kids that God has already chosen for us!!
This is an incredible day for us! Basically, we now know that we will be parents.... say it again! WE WILL BE PARENTS!!! I'm 35 years old and about to know what it's like to hug and love young children....... and it's just a matter of time before we get matched with two little Carlsons that are already in the Philippines. Two cute, little kids are waiting in their orphanage, waiting to be matched with their parents (Matt and Heather) and they don't even know their last name!!! Soon, they will bless me and Heather with their presence and we will get to know who they are. God is soooo good, and he's watching over them right now, protecting them, holding them, giving them a temporary home until they can find a permanent home in Heather's and my arms....
We need your help. Today's letter sort of "smacked us" in the face, a quick thrill, but a immediate realization that we need to raise $15,ooo!!! Your $25, $100, 0r $1000 will help us realize our dream. Please think about being a part of our life.
Thank you and God Bless!
Matt & Heather
