Adoption Update--Very Exciting!!!

It is with much excitement and great pleasure to bring you more good news on our adoption!!! It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Young home because we have been told that barring any tragedies we will have Maria and Susannah home with us for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!! Following is an email we received yesterday afternoon:

Hi David and Suzanne, Just wanted to let you know that Maria’s birth mother went to the Embassy on Tuesday and was interviewed, and cleared. But the consular did not have time to interview the second birth mother. That will hopefully take place this coming Tuesday. Once it does, and if this one clears as well, these girls will be ready to go. As soon as I have word, then I will notify you to go ahead and plan travel. Please pray that we get good news. Take care, Judy
Early this evening Judy called us and told us to go ahead and apply for our Visas and to make tentative flight arrangements to arrive in Monrovia, Liberia on Sunday, December 2 returning the following Friday or Saturday!!!!!! Are you jumping up and down yet?!?! Aren't tears of joy the best?!?! Our song is on full volume now!!! Aubrey and I (Suzanne) don't know if we will be able to ever fall asleep!!!

Please pray that everything will go smoothly on Tuesday with Susannah's birth mother and that she will pass the interview, also. Pray that God will provide all the necessary funding to bring the girls home. We know this travel date is no surprise to Him and that He will provide!

We also want to take a moment and thank all of you that donated items to our garage sale and helped us with it. A huge and special thank you goes to Angela Frye, AKA Garage Sale Guru!!! We earned right over $1,000 that weekend!!! God is so good!!!!

We thank you once again for your prayers, support, and encouragement throughout this journey. We love you all!!!
