Stick, fold, stuff! That is what William and I did this morning at Java (our local coffee shop). We are sending out letters to family and friends to ask for help, because we recently received a matching grant through LifeSong for Orphans. We are so grateful and excited for this additional help in raising the money needed to bring our baby home!
We estimate it will cost about $23,000 to complete our adoption. We do not have that much money just tucked away somewhere, so we have to push back our pride and ask for help. Please pray with us that God will provide all that we need for the adoption. We recognize God is the giver and that we are dependent upon Him for all our resources. Pray with us!
William actually enjoyed spending time together, drinking coffee, stuffing envelopes, and talking about what we can do to raise support! We so enjoy involving our family and friends in this beautiful family-building process. Thank you for being a part of this next step in the adoption process.
