Waiting

Yes, more waiting. But I am hopeful that any day (perhaps this week?) I will hear news that both stages of court have been completed and that the girls are tentatively mine. Tentatively, because after the second stage of court there is that 30 day appeal period before the adoption deed and final legal documents can be issued.

In the meantime, I do have some good news! A wonderful organization, called Lifesong for Orphans has approved me for an adoption fundraising account through their organization. I am still in need of about $18,000 (including travel expenses) in order to be able to bring A.S. and M.J. home. If you would like to be a part of bringing these precious girls home, you can make a tax-deductible donation through Lifesong for Orphans. To do so, you would simply write "Preference: Heller #2900 adoption" in the memo line of your check and mail it to:

Lifesong for Orphans

PO Box 40 / 202 N. Ford St

Gridley, IL 61744

*Note: In following IRS guidelines, your donation is to the named non-profit organization, Lifesong for Orphans. This organization retains full discretion over its use, but intends to honor the donor’s suggested use.

100% of all funds received by Lifesong go directly to cover adoption costs. Nothing is taken out for administrative purposes. 

If you choose to use the Paypal button on the ride side of the screen, those donations will go directly to my own Paypal account, not to Lifesong, and would not be tax deductible. Any donations through Paypal will also go directly to adoption costs.

Aside from all of this, please do continue to pray for the health and safety of both of the girls, and for the paperwork and legal process to be completed quickly. I am still asking the Lord to bring them home before the end of this year. I can hardly wait to hold them in my arms!
