We are nearing the end of our adoption, and nearing the end of the fees! We are still short about $10,000 to finalize the adoption and be able to purchase airfare to get our family together for good. This time we have a way that you can get involved, and get something yummy for yourself!
We are doing fundraising with Just Love Coffee, where a percentage of your purchase from our website with them will help us with our funds. We would love for you to spread the word about this amazing company with all your friends. It's important that you purchase from our link and not just from the company's general website, in order for us to get our portion.
Please visit and shop at www.justlovecoffee.com/bringooleyhome and let us know about your experience with their products! (You can click the title of this blog "Drink Coffee and Help Bring Ooley Home" and it will direct to the website to shop)
Thanks again for your continued prayers and support. We are eagerly awaiting the news that we can book a flight to go make the final arrangements & will keep you posted with everything as we know it.

More Progress....Finally!!!
Since our file enter Haiti in September 2011, we have been waiting for any word of progress. On Friday, March 2nd, 2012, we were informed that our file had exited the IBESR in Haiti and entered the Haitian President's office.
If we were 35 years old, we would be headed to Haiti right now for family court and to file for Ooley's Visa. Which would put the bring home date 8-10 weeks out. But we aren't 35, so we have to get the Haitian President to sign off on our adoption. The great news is that it is now to that last step. The other news is that there is no given timeline of how long our file will sit before being signed. Other countries don't have set times or urgency like we do here in the U.S., so patience is definitely something that has had to grow in us....or something we've been made aware we haven't had much of.... or both :)
We are nearing the end of the financial needs! We are roughly $10,000 away from what is needed to settle with our adoption agency. We will also be traveling back one time for files and then again to bring Ooley home. If you have any ideas of how to help us raise funds, please contact us at amber@salonendeavor.com. If you'd like to help by donating, click the PayPal link, or go to Communication Federal Credit Union (the one on SW 89th & Walker knows us & our process very well) and donate to the Amber & Daniel Johnson adoption fund.
Please pray that our file will move quickly and that the President Michel Martelly will have favor and urgency, not only for our adoption, but for the many that are waiting as well. Thank you so much for your continued prayer and support!
