Leaving In 3 Days!!!


Hello all...Its official...we leave in 3 days to pick up Lila Grace! We got a "surprise" phone call yesterday that literally brought me to my knees that we can pick up our daughter Dec. 3rd! We are frantically getting things in order to leave for Africa this Sunday! Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes! It’s truly a "Thanksgiving Miracle!" I have so many things to be Thankful For! I will post one more time before we leave. Also, an update on our non-profit organization Lila's Hope, we did collect enough money to purchase the refrigerator! Yippee! All extra funds collected this month will go to stocking the pantry at El Olam orphanage! Thank you for all of your generous donations!

Love and Hugs~Holley

  1. Hi Holley;

    Wow, that is wonderful exciting news. Congratulations. May this piece of your journey be full of God's goodness and may it play over and over in your hearts and minds for the rest of your lives.

    I love adoption!

    God bless you!
    *we are a CCI family too. We are adopting a waiting child from Ethiopia, a 9-12 year old beautiful girl.

  2. Hi, I am a former CCI client who was trying to adopt Schewaye and ran into some problems. Maybe you heard about me. Just wanted to let you know I've been watching your blog hoping to see an update and hoping to see Schewaye in some of your photos. I'd love to hear how everything went and whether you were able to see her. She'll always hold a special place in my heart. :) We are so sad it didn't work out for us. Please email me if you have a chance. charissaurban@yahoo.com
