Rachel of Children Concerned is going over to the orphanage on Jan. 8th.  We're going to try really hard to have our dossier to her.  She has said she would be happy to hand deliver it.  If we can do that, she'll also take over a letter from our family to give the children where they will find out about us for the first time and she'll also try to videotape them reading the letter.  If she can't do that, she'll at least photograph them reading it.  I'm walking around smiling and crying today!  It's all coming together so beautifully!  Please pray that our dossier is ready in time.

A few of you have asked about Susanna.  She was just in for her 1 year well baby check yesterday at our regular family doctor's office and is doing great!  She even crossed over 20lb.    Her next appointment with the NeuroFibromatosis clinic is in 2 more months.  Thank you to all who continue to pray for God's mercy for her.

Love, Dawn
