God will finish what He's started in you--it just may not be what or when you expected. <BR/><BR/>As for the van...as soon as we can find the 15 passenger Chevy Express that it looks like we're getting, I'll post it...or I'll post the picture of my family painting a used school bus in a host of psychedelic paints.

I know that even within specific country programs the costs vary wildly from agency to agency. Unfortunately, I do not know the specific reasons for this, but as you stated it does give the *impression* that the child is more *valuable* simply because of the cost.

One is so high to the sky while the other is down to earth which is acceptable to cover the necessary costs? Is it depends on the baby and for what ground or the distance of the country? <BR/><BR/>Guatemala, which is close to US, must be the country demands less amount of money because of the distance Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
