I wanted to share another piece of wonderful news with you.  Adopting Shaoey has been a life changing experience.  It has made me rethink all I knew.  As a result of all that I have learned about myself, adoption, orphans, and God, Troy and I have decided that I would become an AWAA Associate.  My main jobs are to organize and put on 2 seminars a year and to commit myself to praying for AWAA, orphans, and adoption.  I am excited to be embarking on this new adventure.  My first seminar is scheduled for April 21st.  Please pray for me as I prepare for this seminar.  Pray that God will use this/me to reach others to become aware of the needs of these children.

How exciting, I was so nervous!  I think it went well.  There were 6 familes represented.  Many of them came so prepared, you can tell they had been scouring the internet for information on adoption (same thing I did when we started!).  Several of them seemed sincerely ready to move forward.  Please help me in praying for them as they make this decision and move ahead.
