Miss Maribel's Mommy

Yay! We finally know who sweet Maribel's mommy will be.

Her name is Ashley. She is married to Seth. They have three adorable little girls. Love it that Maribel will have three sisters!!

We also know where she will be moving to - western Pa.

OK... I admit that I'm a bit disappointed, because I was so hoping her family would live in sunny Florida. But hey, they're in the same time zone. And yea, that's being selfish. {don't judge people  - that little sweetie has stolen my heart} Truly, though I'm just so thankful that Maribel will have a wonderful family to love her forever.

Ashley has started a blog titled "The Right Kinda Crazy" to keep us updated about their progress on getting Maribel home.

If you're interested you can follow their adoption journey at: http://therightkindacrazy.blogspot.com/

Please be in prayer for them as they seek God's timing, wade through the stacks of paper work and raise the money needed to bring Maribel home.

I'll keep you updated on any fundraisers they may have. And you can always go to Maribel's page on Reece's Rainbow if you'd like to donate to her adoption grant. 

I'm hoping that Ashely will allow me the privilege of making Maribel a quilt. Oh that would be such a joy!

And We're Waiting.....

And we're still waiting. Bummer!
I really thought by now we'd know.

Nope. Not yet.

Nothing new has been posted about who Miss Maribel's family will be.

I have to admit I check the Reece's Rainbow site a few many times a day.

It's great to see all the new commitments that have been made to so many of these precious ones. I rejoice with each of these families. But, so far, nothing has been posted about who has committed to Maribel. She is still on the My Family Found Me page.

That is good, I guess.

Hopefully, it will not be too much longer.

In the mean time I'm praying for them, for the process they have to go through on their adoption journey and of course for sweet Maribel.

Hope you'll join me in praying for them, too.
