ALMOST HOME

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 the Donate with AdoptTogether button? If you don’t see it, click here. You’ll be taken right to our fundraising page and you can donate anytime, anywhere.

GIVE 5 SHARE 5
Please prayerfully consider giving just $5
Here’s the big request: Please share our AdoptTogether link to 5 of your friends or family
Please also consider sharing this blog, our video, or our giving page on your social networks




We’d like to see our profile go viral! We have a goal of $20,000 to raise, BY NEXT MONTH! Please help us to achieve our goal by sharing with anyone 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?
