It's a good day when we get news that Paul is healthy and wants to be adopted! In several pictures and in a video Paul is seen with his friend, Pipa. She has clubbed feet and we see that Paul holds her hand and assists her to stand. In the video while the kids are singing and dancing, Paul bumps into her and she fusses at him like a sister might. These recent pictures are from the family who brought Pipa home to America. While I am excited that she has a home and will get medical attention, it hurts my momma heart to think of Paul without his friend and how lonely he must be. He expressed to Pipa's family that he wishes to be adopted, too. John and I spent many hours this weekend in and international adoption clinic at Lifeline called Crossings. We feel equipped with knowledge and filled with God's Spirit as we prepare our dossier to be sent to China. Another family from Alabama will be traveling soon and has offered to take Paul some prizes from his family. We have a special Georgia Bulldog from his Gim all ready to go! We'll also be sending some pictures of us and our pets. Maybe some photo exposure to the furry side of his family will lessen the shock upon his arrival home!
Our family wishes to thank you for your continued prayers and support throughout the adoption process. We have learned patience and experienced mercy as we struggled through a few "hiccups" with our immigration application. We rest firmly in God's timing and know that Paul is in His hands, in China and even here in America. If you feel lead to donate, you can do so through PayPal using my email, jdobbs123@bellsouth.net. May God bless you as richly as He has the Dobbs family!
