We are counting down the days to our next potential adoption. We have
been matched with a birth momma who is due in March with a baby boy. Maybe our
baby boy.
Psalm
28:7 Now I’m jumping for joy, and shouting and singing my thanks to Him.
We have been praying for the health of this momma and baby, as well as
for her preparation of planning an adoption plan for this little one. We are so
excited, reserved excitement! I am praying for protection of our hearts, that
if this adoption falls through we know that God is sovereign and will get us
through another heartache. We’ve had one failed match this past November and
you can read about it here.
Proverbs
3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own
understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your
paths.
Typically we wouldn’t make an announcement so early in the process because
there are so many unpredictable things that could happen that wouldn’t allow us
to bring baby home. BUT, we need your
help. The adoption is out of state and we need to bring $30,000 with us
for this placement. It is due in full; as there are no payment plans in most
adoptions. We do not have this amount of money, we have no way of saving to reach this
amount, but we’ve started. So far we have saved and raised over $11,000 towards
this goal. We’ve created a campaign to help us raise the remaining money needed
to bring our baby home.
You don’t have to get out of your pajamas, drive your car, or mail a
check. Look to the right of this page, just above our Goal Tracker. Do you see

We’d like to see our profile go viral! We have a goal of $20,000 to

you know. We need this to reach 4000 people if everyone gives just $5! That’s a
big number, but I know with all of your help, we can do this.
DID
I MENTION: Your donation is tax-deductible!
It is very humbling to ask so many of you for money to help us bring a
baby home. We are very grateful for what everyone has already given. We are
excited to see God provide through all of you making a small donation.
If you are not able to give at this time, we ask that you keep us in
your prayers. We are thankful for these, as we can see the blessings from God
from your prayers.
For all of you that are facebook friends or followers on twitter, you
may see this blog post or our giving page linked on my facebook or twitter
account many, many times in the next month. I know not everyone checks facebook
hourly, daily, weekly, monthly…. whatever it may be. Since we need to get the
word out, I want this to hit as many homepage feeds as possible, so I’m not
trying to harass you into giving; I’m just trying to reach those who may have
not seen it posted before.
We’re very excited for this part of our journey, won’t you join us?
