I am sitting her praying and praying today. It's David's physical and I'm praying that the Dr. will give him a clean bill of health for our adoption. My DH is overweight but otherwise healthy and this is the final hurdle for me. I sent a pictur of Rani for him along with the paperwork and I hope he is able to feel in his heart that adopting her is what we are supposed to do and that he will do all he can to help us. Pray with me please! :-) Much appreciation.
