Saturday's Fundraising Yard sale

Well, my yard sale ended up raising about $100. It rained off and on so the sale was held in my garage.There wasn't much room to display items well and the weather kept most people away. Since most of the hard work is already done, I have decided to have another sale in a few weeks. I will pray for sunny skies and lots of customers! I will keep you all posted on when it will be.

As always, pray for this process to move quickly so Meena can come home.......

Article 5 received today!!!!

This morning I received great news! I received my Article 5 Letter. This letter states "Meena, born 11 Jan 2009, Hyderabad, India, the legal custody of whom to be granted to Colleen Fink". Now I wait for my court date and that is when I will make my first trip. Thank you for your continued prayers that the court date will be assigned quickly.

With gratitude,

31 Fundraiser Total and One Step Closer!

Thanks again to all my friends and family that supported me through the 31 fundraiser. The grand total raised was $314.50!
I also received provisional approval from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services stating that Meena qualifies as a Convention adoptee. This means that the US side of the adoption is moving along. I have been told to look for an email from India stating that they have accepted the paperwork and are applying for a court date. We are still at least 2-4 months out, but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting becoming brighter!!!!
