you just might get it...
From Amanda....
We are sorry that we have not posted any specific information about the adoption lately. In reality, we have just been waiting for something to happen. It is a very helpless feeling. Anyway, we are reluctant to post any specific information on the blog as of now. We do want everyone to know that we have had a very good past few days.... All of the prayers have worked, more than you will ever know.... Jerry and I have some travel ahead of us the beginning of next week and we are optimistic.... At this moment, we are very happy and overwhelmed. We hope that you will continue to pray that God's hand will guide as we make some decisions. Please pray that we have the strength to follow the plan laid before us.
We will let you know more when things move forward and are more definitive. Thank you again to everyone who is following our story. Your support and prayers have definitely made this journey easier....
From Jerry::::

It was wonderful to talk to the both of you this morning. Dad always feels better after talking to you on the phone. It seems to calm him. Great news about the travel plans. Never did gt to my closet yesterday so I guess I might wait for you to return to helpme.Ha Ha. Have a wonderful weekend. I'll talk to ya'll soon.
Check your emails.

What wonderful news! I believe that God reveals himself in His perfect time, and His plan far surpasses anything we could wish for ourselves. God promises us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we will "Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and unreachable things you do not know."
Take care and know that your Spain Park family is "praying without ceasing." :)
Best,
Mandy Beason
My family and I continue to follow your blog and keep you in our prayers. May God bless you wherever your journey leads you next week. Safe travel and best wishes.

Like I said before - Ain't God Cool?
We will keep praying specific prayers and we know that He will answer.
I talked to Steve today and he was telling me about how people would tell him when he was sick that a part of them were there with him and he didn't really understand it.
We do feel like a part of us are there with you and we think about you and pray for you continually.
One of these days my schedule will mesh with yours and hopefully I will be able to talk to you.
We love you both!
Ron, Jan and Savannah
Hey,
I just came in from work and the first thing I do is check the blog (and the last thing I do). I am shedding tears of joy. I know God is right there beside you and will make your way safe and secure. You two will never know what your journey has meant to a lot of us. Our hearts are there, although we've never been to Ukraine. You've made it real to us. I can't wait to hear more news next week. May God go two steps before you and make everything perfect.
Much Love,
Shirley
It is so wonderful to share your journey. God is good!
Love you - Cheryl Thomas
Willy Wonka said, "The suspense is killing me!I hope it will last!" Well I am a female, and I can't stand it!!! I cannot wait to hear who our new SP and OM little one/ones is/are!!! You know, we thought my third child was going to be a girl for a month due to a misreading of the sonar. When we found out that "she" was a he, we were shocked! My daughter "ran away" to the neighbors for just long enough to find out that having another brother would be better than having to share all of her girl things like dolls and clothes with a sister. (She spent an hour with our neighbors' 3 little girls who fought the entire time over all of their things)She decided, after having lunch with them, it was better at her house so the dad brought her back home. I guess everything works out for the best in the long run. Plus, if I had 2 Victoria's, I do not know what I would do!!! :) Enjoy every second with each other and yes Jerry, I am loving and kissing my babies, who are not really babies anymore all of the time. Sometimes I think that I am going to kiss their faces off! Have a great time you 2 and we are thrilled that you are sharing this awesome experience with us!

I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about all the good news; then the realization began to set in. If everything goes well, I will be spending the entire Christmas season at Toys R us. Who said to me one day that she would never drive a "mini" van? ( See you should never say never ! Ha Ha) I'm heading to Selma today for Abby's party but have errands to run in T-town before I go.
Don't let the impending visit overwhelm you; just trust in each other and think things through carefully. I know your minds are racing because mine is doing the same thing but take a deep breath and make a plan ( that's Jerry's Job). You know you have a HUGE support system all over the state( as well as the U S A) just waitng to step in when needed.
Gotta go,
Bushka Honey ( Is that how you spell it?)
It is SO exciting to follow your journey. Each day, something new, something fresh, something real answered by God. Every little flicker of light and stillness of
the night only pours more powerful love into your "bucket" of this awesome journey. Jerry, all of us at OMHS love and miss you. I pray that as God continues to give you His overflowing signs of hope, continuing to build your faith in Him , that you'll continue to ask for His guidance in the shaping, the moulding, and assistance in making those necessary preparations in your life as a new father. May a peace come into your heart offering you the strength, patience, and direction you'll need as the head of your household. And Amanda, oh my goodness, what fun you're going to have bringing these children home into our world in Alabama. May God continue to wrap his arms around the both of you, protecting and keeping you and the children safe and out of harms way. Just recently, (August) I became a grandmother to a beautiful little girl only coming to us through artificial ensemination. And how this experience has changed my world, in only superlative ways. I'm having a blast even 700 miles away from her. The world of technology has given me a long-distance closeness to her by using digital photography. I have more pictures of her than I took when both of my girls were growing up. I thank God every day for that love, protection, and direction he's going to provide for her in her world. I know the new Hood grandparents and extended families of your children will love them just as much as I love mine. Children are a special gift from God. May God Bless you and continue to give you strengh.
