450 pieces down, and 24 days left!

We are so thankful and blessed for what the Lord has done in our lives. We only have 50 pieces left of the puzzle! Thank you to everyone who has donated to get our precious Benjamin Tyshawn home! The birth mom, Dana, has been in contact with me and so far Benjamin is healthy and the c-section is still on for May 1st at 2pm. She seems upbeat and happy that we are adopting him. We also had good news from our lawyer - the birth father was located and said he will come to the hospital the day Benjamin is born and sign away his parental rights. Please pray that he shows up and that everything goes smoothly. We also need prayer that the lawyers will not run out of our retainer money... we are pretty tapped out and would not be sure how to pay them again ($7,500.00 total for the retainers). Prayers would be appreciated!! 

Another praise is that we spoke with St. Andre's about our pregnancy and they were excited for us! We were worried they would halt the adoption because of what the agency in Illinois had said, but nothing happened and everything is going smoothly with them! Praise the Lord! In case some people have not heard, we are expecting a girl on August 3rd... which is exciting! We will have a boy and a girl :) 

Kelly finishes teaching in a week (April 13th) and will have 2 weeks to get things ready before we leave for VA! Please pray for this transition... we are excited but its a huge change!
Thanks for your prayers and support... if you would like to donate for more puzzle pieces, see our address on the fundraiser letter tab. 

Here is the puzzle so far:
