This morning I woke up knowing very well it was Thursday. Thursdays are the days that families get submitted to the SDA. I figured maybe as they were submitting families they may just give our facilitator some hint of information about us. Well, I waited to hear from Nancy (our state side coordinator), I peaked over to our FSP to see if it still had $25...I think we all do this once in a while. I love seeing the 25 it is so much better than the zero. It means so much. Anyways, that is when I saw THE DATE. What did I do?? Scream of course! Yelling my husband's name and some of the oldest kids names. When they came into the den I was jumping up and down and they joined in. I didn't know what to do so I called my mother :)) Anyways, It has been a combination of making travel/flight plans, making sure to switch doctor appointments for the kids and a lot of walking back and forth kissing all the kids and thanking the Lord many many times. At one point I was crying just feeling blessed that God has given us so many beautiful gifts and here he was blessing us again. I felt as if we didn't deserve it. Thank you God.
We have 10 days to get ready.
Fantastic!!!!

I am James McDermott. My wife Cindy and I have been blessed by God with 13 children. We also homeschool and above all, we are Christians. We recently started a website called Christian family meeting place (www.christianfamilymeetingplace.com). Many who hold our views are isolated and are looking for online fellowship, personal fellowship, churches, and even spouses. I am inviting you to register. It is free. If you're not interested, that is perfectly fine. May God bless you in all you do for Him. - In the Vine, Jim for Cindy and the rest

Hi Jenny! My husband (Jeff) and I will be in country at the same time as you. In fact, I believe Benjamin is in the same orphanage as our Sasha! :) We hope to be able to meet up with you, if you're interested and if we can make it happen! Interestingly enough, Jeff is also a nurse and loved his time working in pediatrics! You can e-mail me if you'd like: twt1234@msn.com.
