Specifically for:
*Us- guidance, wisdom, patience, perseverance, peace, finances, and favor.
*G & K (our 2 1/2 & 4 year olds)- understanding and patience during this transition
* #3 & #4- for God's hand to be on them wherever they are, for protection, for their circumstances, their birth families, to prepare them to be in our family
(2) Finances (This adoption is set to cost roughly $35,000+!)
UPDATE: We have raised about $13,000 of the $35,000 needed!
- We know that some of you may choose to donate generously to our 'cause'- to help bring our babies home. We are so blessed that you would even consider. And no amount is too small...every little bit helps! You can use the Pay Pal link on the side of the blog. Or, for those of you that we know, cash or check would work just as well. We will never be able to thank you enough for your help in this!
- Other ways to help financially are with our upcoming fundraisers. We will keep this blog updated with fundraisers as they come about.
** First fundraiser has begun! "Sippys 4 Siblings" Here's how you can help: (1) Contact me to let me know you would like a sippy cup. (2) Fill it with your spare change. (3) When it's full, send it back to us (I can pick it up if local), or send the change and (4) keep the sippy to fill up again! If we get several people to do this, it can really add up! (*Consider keeping it in one of the cupholders in your car.) Also, if you know of another family, organization, small group, etc. that would like a sippy, let me know and we'll send one for them too! Thank you for your help, everyone!
** We custom designed Adoption T-shirts to sell. All profits, again, go to our adoption fees & expenses. We're selling them for $20 each. ($15 for child sizes!) Get one for you, your spouse, mom, friend, or kids!
