Chris and I have finally set a date for our adoption fundraiser! The date will be Saturday, October 29th.
We are asking for any donations of items you no longer need or want. The costs for adoptions are high, so we are shamelessly asking for any help. We are willing to meet you or come pick up items. Every little thing helps, so please don't feel that your items are "junk.'' Message me on facebook or send me a text if you have any items.
I can not say enough how grateful our family is for all the help offered on our journey! I love all the words of encouragement and excitement. Even if you aren't able to donate items, please pray for us. Pray that we will have the strength to carry on throughout this process. Pray that we have the stamina to make it through all this paperwork. Currently, we are working on getting our background checks completed, and this may take a few months. During that time, we will be doing our home studies. (Our first meeing with our social worker is tomorrow!) Pray that we will be able to find ways to save money or make extra money. Pray that we can add to our family quickly! Above all, pray for God's will to be done.
We are very excited but also a little apprehensive about paying for our adoption. Both of us completely believe that God will provide, but it is not always easy to feel what we believe. I know that God is going to bless us in ways that we can't even imagine right now.
This is an extremely emotional journey. I am learning new things each and every day about my emotions and my beliefs. I have learned so much about myself and my relationship to God and to my husband. And the best part, is I know that there's so much more to come. Thank you for being a part of that journey!
