February 27th Update

Todays cutie pie is from EE. What a DOLL!!! You can learn more about her by emailing Stephanie@untilallhavehomes.org. The 2 sweeties below still need a home. The boy in the wheelchair has 2 HUGE grants that will cover his international and agency fee. I know his family is out there!!!! The other little princess has PKU. My daugther is on the same diet as PKU. I would be happy to talk to any families that have questions! And the little LD boy still needs a home too!

We have soooooo many children on the site. We have several downs children we just added!! We have babies from Haiti too and of course all the Asian kids!! There is a little boy whose file goes back this week! You can see more on our site under Asia, you do not need a password to view his info.

We are caught up with the passwords AGAIN unless you just registered this week. Fami moved all the matched kids to a new slide show you can view that by clicking on Kids Coming Home. I love to look at all the kids who have families!! You need to watch it!

I want to take time to say thanks to all my volunteers, they are a true inspiration to me by their dedication and support they show to one another. Couldn't have handpicked a better group myself and they all were led to volunteer, so I did not even have to do that!! To all our prayer partners who pray everyday for the kids and our ministry!! Thanks for doing something so powerful. WE know you are not in the spotlight but you are our front line!!

One last thing, we do have a family in Serbia right now in Belgrade! They are fine but tomorrow is Visa day and well, the Embassy burned last week due to the unrest. They do not feel threatened but are ready to come home. Our incredible group of families who have adopted from there have been an unending source of info on helping her come up with multiple plans just in case!! All's I can say is WOW!!! So please be praying that the family gets the visa's in Belgrade and gets out and home safely. They have been way more brave in the midst of the storm (the riots) then I would have been!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Until All Have Homes,
Ann

FEB 15TH UPDATE AND URGENT REQUEST

First, please scroll down to the last post. The little boy in the wheelchair with a FULL grant for both agency and international fees is still available. Have you seen how cute he is???!!! Please cross post and help us find his family. His time is running out, we are already a week past our deadline!! Email stephanie@untilallhavehomes.org for more info.

Okay, I need to post 2 pictures today! The little boy is missing both of his legs and is from EE. He is in a region that has no agency fees and you only pay actual fees in the country. Families with 2 parents traveling are saying it costs around $12,000 with travel, INS, HS etc (everything). We just got his info! Don't you want to hug him, he looks so sad!! The other picture is of a girl who is OMG, beautiful!! She is from EE and has been diagnosed with PKU. PKU is a simple thing as you can control it by diet. Our daughter is on a similar diet and I would be happy to personally talk to any interested families because if she does not find a home, I may need to adopt her :)

Not too much news! We had a wonderful BLESSED match this week!! (one of several but this one sticks out). A family contacted us because they wanted to adopt a girl from China that was on a list and couldn't. Our China coordinator contacted the agency and asked if we could help. This little princess was the LAST one on their list!! But you know what God says, those who go first will go last, last/first :) And just this week I rec'd a wonderful email about how the family saw her on our site and has committed to her!! I just love stories like that!! So please take a look at all the kids, could your incredible story be the next one we post here?

We are pretty caught up on our passwords. I know I say this everytime, but it seems not everyone is understanding. ONLY FILL OUT ONE application. It may take several weeks before you get a confirmation email. This info if not automatically generated when you hit submit. We personally look up and verify your info. If your info is incomplete or not valid we cannot process your application. You will not rec any correspondence from us if you do not fill out your application. If you think that there is a problem or mistake or it has been several weeks and you still cannot get in, there is a place on our homepage where you can email Fami and she will try to help you. NONE OF OUR COORDINATORS can give you a password or do anything magical to help you get on the site, so pls, if you have a question email Fami. I know it is hard to wait but we want to protect the kids and we are all moms and we get a BUNCH of applications each week. There are THREE of us working on them and are processing them as fast as we can. I appreciate your understanding!

Sooooooo, did all the ppl who sponsored kids get their info?? Wasn't it exciting!! We are busy working on our projects which includes an orphanage in Africa. We will be doing adoptions once everything is set in place. Fields of Grace has it's own website which you can access from this blog or our UAHH homepage. And also it's own blog where we will be doing updates as things progress and it's own yahoo group. You can visit and read more at: http://www.untilallhavehomes.org/FOG/foghome.html, links to all mentioned are accessable on that site. Or click any logo on any of our sites!! We want to try to keep this seperate as we want to devote UAHH to the kids waiting.

Ok, here is a stat I could not believe when I read it!! Could if really be TRUE??!! That less then ONE PERCENT of orphans worldwide get adopted??!! Isn't that sad!! I wonder what the percent is for the special needs kids?? Proverbs 29:18 says "Where there is no vision, the people perish." People!!! I know you are standing with us or you wouldn't be reading this!! WE have a vision! Let's all work together to make a difference. No matter how small or slow you move! Do something!! If it betters someone else's life it can't be wrong!! Aren't we already blessed beyond measure?? No matter where you are today in your life, I promise you it is 1000 times better then what these kids are living in!!! If you think you want to do something and don't know what, I can hook you up with ppl who can give you direction!! Be praying, God is going to use you!!

Have a wonderful weekend. See you soon!!
Until All Have Homes,

BOYS NEEDS A HOME THIS WEEK!!

We have posted this boy before but his info has changed. He has almost aged out of the orphanage and we need to find him a home this week. Here is the great news!! He has 2 grants totally $13,000. One is $8,000 and non conditional . The other is $5,000and is income based but you can make a pretty good income and still qualify for this grant. That means a family would only have their paperwork and travel to bring this darling boy home!! I have been told he can do anything and is very smart and pleasant! Unfort this region does not accept large families so 6 kids or under at home. Please email Stephanie@untilallhavehomes.org

Well, I am wearing many hats right now!! We are busy working on orphanage things! There is a lot more then you think doing this project!!! But we have been blessed. We have moved the Fields of Grace Project to their own blog and website. You can access them from UAHH homepage. We hope to have the orphanage filled with furniture and kids by March 1. Please flip to the other blog, I will be updating it later tonite!!

Hey you school sponsorhip families!!! Guess what I got!! Yep, Saturday I finally rec'd all the paperwork we have been waiting for. They will be headed to the post office tomorrow AM. So be watching your mail. And OMG, I was truly bless reading some of the thank you's, you will be too!!

Not too many other updates. WE have some new babies coming into EE under 1yo. The China program like always is the fasting moving program we have. We have some darling babies under Haiti too. New kids under Asia 2. We have a beautiful 10yo from Africa that needs a special home. You need to peek at her and she her beautiful smile!!

We have lots of little surprises so make sure you read the other blog too!! Thanks for checking in. Oh, we were having issues with our server recognizing passwords but that should be fixed by now. If you are still having problems there is a link on the HP that you can use to report problems. I can't process info with the word NULL typed in or incomplete information. So make sure you put TRUTHFUL COMPLETE information on the forms and only fill out one. We are caught up except for the ppl who filled one out this week. PlS do not ask our coordinators or volunteers for passwords or approval of your form. That has to come thru our main email to be processed. They cannot help you!!:)

Ok, feel free to crosspost the info about the boy above! You have done it in the past, I know you can do it again. We have until Friday to find him a home!! Let's do it!!

Until All Have Homes,
