an update on the homefront {blessings upon blessings!}
/
After closing on our old house on Friday and having a debt-free weekend, we closed on the new house yesterday. For a few weeks, we are both renters (of the old house) and owners (of the new one)! The big move will happen this weekend, though we don't have to completely clear out of the old house until the end of the month.
If that wasn't exciting enough, consider this: the proceeds from the sale of our old house cover the remaining adoption expenses. Yep, that's right. That pesky $23,000 we needed to cover the full cost of her adoption? We have it, with the final bit provided upon closing on Friday.
"Thank you" will never be enough to express our gratitude each of you who prayed over our adoption finances and who gave sacrificially so that Zoe Amanda could be added to our family!
Now we keep praying as we wait for the final decree, which could come any day now and which finalizes the adoption in Taiwan. Then the US needs to review everything - which also means all the court documents have to be translated to English - and Zoe will have an immigration physical. And then? We travel! Best guesses put the trip in June, hopefully at the beginning of the month.
Can't wait until the family pictures on the blog include all FIVE of us!
