Yard Sale Success!

Hello Everyone!

We held our yard sale last Saturday (June 4th) and raised about $300 for the adoption! It was a LOT of work, but it filled two purposes: (1) raising money to bring Jessica and Sam home, and (2) getting rid of a lot of stuff so we don't have to move it to Chino! We sold about 3/4 of the stuff, and took the rest down to church for them to sell in the fall Harvest Festival. Hallelujah!

We received word that our home study is completed and approved. As soon as IGAA gets it and approves it, we should be able to apply for some grants for the adoption. We still have a LONG way to go before we have enough money to complete the adoption! Please keep praying that God will provide what we need to finish.

While we were in Texas visiting the Clark family and their three new daughters (adopted from Russia), we were witness to the first throws of adjustment problems related to orphans joining a family. So we have written a letter to Jessica and Sam opening the subject a bit with them to help prepare them for the changes they will experience when they come home. Please pray that God will prepare them, and us, for all of the HUGE changes that are before us. I will post the letter I wrote to them on our website (www.haworthfamily.net) soon.

Things are getting hectic as we prepare to move! We'll keep you posted.

Thanks for all your prayers, thoughts, support and expressions of love. We appreciate ALL of you!

Blessings,

Glen and Cyndy
