More Good News and Answered prayers

Jason    Keegan    Me    Abby     Izzy
Plummer's doing the happy dance!



Answered Prayers!
Court date has moved up to October 20th, we have our flight booked for October 15th!

The judge has given grace to some documents, this is good news.
She has asked for a psychological exam done by a psychiatrist which was not good news but by God's grace we found a psychiatrist who will get it done in one week and it will only cost $200 a piece.
Not so good new, it means that is extra cost to us. We are out of ideas and time for fundraising. We need to be fully funded by November 5th. That is five weeks from now. We have no more saving to put toward the cost, no credit cards, no loans and we have no more grandiose fundraisers with fancy prizes.  I have no more time to make bracelets. I am down right begging for help!
Please share our story, on FB, on your blog or anywhere else, consider a small donation. Its crunch time, we are at the end and although we have near $52,000 for our process we still need approx. $2000.
Tax deduction donations can be made on the right hand side of our blog. If you don't care about the deduction then you can make a monetary donation through our paypal account, also at the top on the right hand side.



So for all you critics who keep sending me nasty comments.....
Your right I am begging and pleading for help.
The one thing you are not right about is the fact that these children
are not mine. Your wrong, you have no idea
about the journey we have been on.
These are our children and I will do what ever it takes to get my
babies here.
Please do not waste your time with comments. I am not looking for judgement or even the thought of those whom don't agree with what we are doing. We have been blessed, we have been called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. But if you would like to make a comment you are more than welcome to email me annieplummer@yahoo.com . I would love to talk with you about our journey if you feel as though maybe the Holy Spirit has lead you here. Who knows maybe you are being called to walk this journey. But I warn you, your faith will be stretched your trust in the Lord must be strong and one more thing you will need....
A heart for the unloved, a heart for those who are discarded like trash.
You will need to believe in our God, or Lord and the Holy Spirit.
I just don't see how you can get through it with out that.
Be prepared this will Rock your world.

Birthday Wishes

Birthday wishes to: Varya
From: mommy


Dear Varya, I have many birthday wishes for you. I wish you were here. I wish you really knew we didn't just walk away and forget about you. I wish you knew we are working hard on documents, fundraising and planning for our return. I wish you knew on this day that we should be celebrating your day but instead your mommy has a heavy heart. I am sad that you are not hear in my arms. I wish you knew on your birthday mommy lets you buy any box of sugar cereal for your birthday breakfast and that there is always a balloon and small gift for the morning. I wish you knew that I would be making your special birthday cake which is themed around your favorite thing. I wish you knew family and friends would be planning a visit today to share this special day with us. I wish you knew that we are waiting for you. Instead I sit in front of my computer looking at photos, and watching videos of you and praying for you to come home. Instead on this day I am gathering more paper work and printing more documents in order to satisfy the judge that we will care for you and love you like our very own children we have at home. It's not long now baby girl just a few more weeks until we bring you to your forever home
I Love you Sweet Baby girl. We will be there soon. Love Mommy

The Good News



Hey, Have you heard the good news?
Scroll down and read!






October 27th is our Court Date!!!
OK it isn't exactly "The" Good News
from our Lord Jesus Christ but it is good news.
Prayer request needs:
Please pray for our paper work and for the judge to give grace where need be. We still have to submit
our final paper work. This must be done in a timely
manner so we can keep our date. 
Please pray for finances, we have had to pay
extra fees in order to get the 34 extra documents the
the judge ask for. :(
Pray that cost will be cut short in other areas. 
Pray we will have all the funds needed.
We still need approx. $1200
Thank you everyone for all your love and support
we truly could not do this without all of you.

In Christ, Ann

Someones Birthday This Month

This is a busy month with school starting, fundraising, birthdays and anniversaries.  This school year two of our three kiddos at home started school. Abigail is still at home to be home schooled. Isabella and Keegan are attending a local Charter school which they are really enjoying. The best part though I am enjoying it too and Abigail can not wait for there to be an opening for her grade so she can attend too. I have learned that not all Charter schools are run like Chatfield, some are for those students who can not make it in public school due to behavior but Chatfield is not like that it is a super school. It's funny how God plans things out because before we decided to home school my husband and I wanted the kids to attend Chatfield but then chose homeschooling.
As for fundraisers we are getting ready to have one through Almighty Tattoo.  For each tattoo given on September 21 they will donate $25 to our adoption fund. As of two days ago when we talked with them they said they have never had their appointment book so filled. Wow I am so excited that so many people are getting inked for a good cause. As for my tattoo here is what I plan to get.

It is the symbol for Down Syndrome
awareness
  
Anniversaries? Jason and I will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary on September 28th. I can hardly believe it has been that long. He is my very best friend and the love of my life. I can honestly say we are sole mates.  I am more in love with him now than I was on the day we were married. He is one of the sweetest people I know and He adores me. There isn't  a day that goes by that I question his love for me.  We married one week apart from our best friends Becky and Ron. Becky and I have been best friends since the 7th grade (26 years) and Ron and Jason have been best buddies since 1st grade many more than 26 years. Becky and I planned our weddings together and married one week apart from each other. Happy to say they will celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary this year also.



Ron and Becky, love these guys :)


So now we are at Birthday, many of those this month. Jason's is on the 21st. and my Nephew Dru's is on the 23rd. Here are the Birthday boys


My Nephew Dru, he will be 7 this year.


My hubby he will be 41 this year shhhhh.....



Oh and there is one more Birthday this month.........

Our littlest daughter Varvara
She will be turning 4 on September 24th
This will be her last birthday alone in an
orphanage. Her last birthday with no cake,
No presents and no family to sing
happy birthday.
Please pray for her on this day.
I don't want this day to pass and no one think of
our sweet girl she has had one to many birthday
alone.

Have you ever asked??

I've asked. I have asked more than once, more than I can count. I have asked God "Why am I here? What do you have planned for my life?" I could feel it, I knew there was something I just could figure out what it was. I remember reading books you know the ones. The books that say they can show you what God has planned; the ones that say they can show you how to hear God in your life. I think that is where I went wrong, I thought books and authors could tell me what God had planned. I thought they could tell me what path to take. Don't get me wrong I am not bashing the book your small group is doing or the book sitting on your night stand ;) You know you have them. I am just saying without God you will never figure it out. Have I told you four years ago my sister brought my niece home from Ethiopia. In fact it was four years ago this month; the time in my life when i was so desperately searching for why God placed me her at this time. You see I know some of the verses in the bible; I know it says in Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." OK I didn't actually remember the exact verse off the top of my head but I knew it was said by God somewhere. So, four years ago I asked Jason if he would consider adopting. He said no, He said he could never do it. He did say he would read the information if I ordered it from an agency. I was crushed..... he never read a single word from the welcome folder. It sat on the table for weeks and eventually collected dust and was thrown away. Four years ago on September 24 when my husband said no to an Ethiopian Princess our daughter was born.  Our daughter was born across the oceans in another land. Now if that is not a perfect plan I don't know what is.
Not only have I been on the most amazing journey of adoption the past year I have joined many other adoption stories. I have witnessed miracle after miracle and I am so blessed, honored and humbled to be part of His big plan. 
So I've been asking and looking for a long time to see the plans He has from me. The one place I kept missing was James 1:27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.  But then again the Holy Spirit will only reveal what you are ready to see and hear.
We are all part of His big plan. So are you ready? Are you ready to hear the answer to the question.... go ahead I dare you to ask. I did and look who He showed me March 2010






Now look and see who we are bringing home, they are very first babies I saw on Reece's Rainbow




God is good. Soooooo Good!! Little did I know this journey would build my faith sky high; my trust deeper than any ocean. I am blessed; We are blessed!
Have you seen the meter at the top? All of you have done that! God has moved you to do that!!
Now that is a miracle in itself!


Just want to leave you with this song.

Would you make that TWO?

Speaking to my Reece's Rainbow family, would you make it two if God asked you to? I write this post today with a heavy heart for my friend Taryn Seybold. Today is the day she withdrew from her adoption of Little Vika.  The reasons are out of her control and to be honest it makes me so sad to think of the pain she must be feeling. Taryn and I have become very good friends over the past year and I know her heart; it is HUGE! I know that the love she has for Vika is huge and she wants nothing more then bring her home but God has different plans. I truly believe all of Taryn's love for Vika is not in vain. I believe her love has helped clear the path for her family to get her. Headed to region 14? Headed to Russia to save a little one already? Have room in your mini van for one more little 6 year old? Have room in your heart for the love of this Little girl?  Her grant is huge her burden is little, please consider bringing her home too!
Maybe when you woke up this morning you weren't planning on adoption. Maybe it has never crossed your mind. I ask you now to help me find her family. Help my friend Taryn; help ease the pain of letting go. Vika's family is out there somewhere. She just turned 6 in May and she won't have much time left before she will be transferred. Please help me spread the word. Cross post this on your blog. She has little time.  Here is what the orphanage says about Vika
"In the highest Volochek live girl – Vicky. The girl's alive, radiant blue eyes, a mischievous "tail", winning smile and open face. It is well built, childishly naive and coquettish – a child wants to love, embrace, lisping with him. Âèêóëÿ and she is always glad to new people, smiles all around, laughing loudly and zalivisto, fins and happy sitting on their hands. Wick – a lovely little girl, clockwork, energetic, affectionate and sociable, and in general, little girl, whose place at home, at the table with mom and dad, where you can happily talk down, sitting on a high chair, twist and tuck into cakes with apples …



In May 2005, in Tver maternity mom did not know that her daughter will be a bright and good, she thought that this child with Down syndrome becomes a burden and an object of ridicule, and therefore given it up …
Vike almost 3 years, her illness with proper care, attention and care can be greatly adjusted. And now it is not very different from their peers. Vikusya already said a few words, knows the names of animals and birds can show them the picture. Of course, it is not very assiduously in the classroom, her mood quickly changed. But she already knows itself to assemble and disassemble pyramids, cups-liners, understands the differences in the sizes of objects can draw straight lines and closed lines. Likes to play with the doll, feeding her, shakes and washes. Girl with easily imitate adults, able to dress with a little help, eating – not a bit careful, but herself, asking for a pot, washes her hands … She loves affection. Vika – a normal child.
SINGLE MOMS WELCOME! HIS


THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST YOU HERE ABOUT LITTLE VIKA. I WILL ASK AND ASK AND ASK UNTIL SHE HAS A FAMILY.
