"I was born with a bronze skin and I like it. Some of my friends were born white or black or yellow. They were not consulted. But that's all right. There are yellow roses, white roses, and red roses and the fragrance of one is about as nice as another." ~Chief Walking Buffalo

Gratitude

First of all I would like to say a gigantic THANK YOU to everyone who showed your support at the garage sale.

We live in the best community in the world!! The show of love and support was outstanding. It makes me all emotional to realize what a solid support system we have here - great neighbors, great friends and great people. We are truly overwhelmed by the generosity and caring. Full of gratitude!!

The sale was a great success!! I believe the last count we were at about $1500,and we haven't even added up the recyclables money yet! Fantastic!! We are all wonderful :)

On another note, I had a dream last night that our referral came in. For some reason, it was a little baby boy. I got to meet his mother. I was crying and bouncing off the walls I was so happy. So since I woke up and realized that I was dreaming I have been feeling a little down this morning. I hope that one day I will be able to cry those tears of joy and scream with excitement. I pray for that day every day. I will keep at it until we bring our children home. Thank you all again for helping us take another step in that direction.

Good News!

I got to go on Global Edmonton tonight to talk about the restructuring plan!
Yahoo!

All is looking good. What a difference from almost 2 months ago when our world shattered. This is totally an answer to our prayers, and a resounding echo to our mantra from the very beginning "Yes We Can!"

Late Friday night we received a restructuring plan from BDO Dunwoody that outlines a very viable plan to allow our adoptions to be processed. Each family has been asked to contribute a $4000 renewal fee which will allow the agency to resume operations and complete our adoptions.

Another huge blessing is that many of the creditor's who were not families have agreed to reduce their claims, which have kept the restructuring costs lower.
There will be a new board of directors, and the new agency will be closely monitored by both the Trustee as well as the Government.

I am trying to remain cautious, as this plan hinges on the approval of the majority of creditors at the creditor's meeting on Sept.21st. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we wait to exhale.

If you want to check out the news clip from this evening, go to the following link and click on Sept.7th evening news - it is about 8-9 mins in.

Thank you all who have maintained your love and support through these past 2 months.
