YAY!

In exactly one month I will be in Atlanta to pick up Katerina and Mariana for the summer.  We are soooooooooo excited to have them here with us for about 5 weeks.  It will be our first official meeting, as we have only skyped and emailed up to this point.  Our intent in hosting them is to give them a great summer and more importantly, allow them to get to know this crazy Wells family from across the world.

Hosting is a great way to reach out to the fatherless.  There are many organizations that have hosting programs during the summer and at Christmas time.  You are required to pay for the child/children to fly over and for passports and insurance.  But the experience for your family could be life changing.

We are currently working on all the paperwork that is required for an international adoption... which is separate from hosting.  At times it feels like "eating an elephant one bite at a time"  but we are plugging along.
For those of you who are familiar with the process we have completed our home study and we are about to file our I600A form with the US... which is our official petition to adopt.  I say "about" to file because we have to wait for the funds to come in.  Every step in the right direction seems to require a new fee.  Our faith continues to grow as we exercise our "trust muscles" waiting on God's timing.
