Almost Time!

We are just about down to it! PAPERWORK!!! In two short months, we will finally take steps into the direction of bringing home our son! We have been preparing ourselves the best we can through prayer, getting advise from people who have adopted, and researching, researching, researching, so that we make well informed decisions along the way. But no matter what bumps come along the road, we are in good hands! And the Lord directs us, and gives us the wisdom that we need!

The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps!

Proverbs 16:9

 

 

The LORD makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him!

Psalm 37:23

 

 



 

We have some wonderful fundraisers up and running. Just Love Coffees is one of them. What an amazing company full of integrity! They were founded by a family that truly has a heart for the fatherless! https://justlovecoffee.com/about/beneficiary/faithlikecoffeebeans/

 

Another fundraiser was put on by my lovely friend Britany, whom sells Scentsy! https://britanyroberts.scentsy.us/?partyId=262515919. We are so grateful for the help and support!

 

I am also going to start selling children's aprons, that I make myself! Once I get those going, I will post a link to my etsy store!

 

PLUS! Natanya is planning a bake sale! (HER IDEA!!!) Im so proud of her for wanting to work hard to help bring her new brother home! She is so sweet! And she is a wonderful little baker!

 

Now I know some people wonder about fundraising for an adoption. I have heard a lot of comments. Both positive and negative. I personally think it is AWESOME! If we can raise funds for cancer treatments, funds for school athletics, funds for animal shelters, funds for camp, and funds for missionaries...why not adoption fees too? On average, an adoption costs $34,000.... That's a huge number to come up with, and Im sure most people don't have that much money in a savings account! Many families WON'T consider adopting because of that one reason. Meanwhile, approximately 150 million children live without the love of a family.

 

Jeremy and I have a couple of requests. PLEASE keep our family in your prayers. And please keep our new son in your prayers. I don't want him to lose hope of a family to love him, I want him to be safe, and taken care of while he waits. (Thank God for caretakers in the orphanages! They have such big hearts for the kids!) And please keep Africa in your prayers. Ebola is an awful reality there. And many children will be orphaned because of this disease. The Lord heals, and so many are in need of healing!

 

 

Thanks everyone, for the love, prayer, and support!
