How You Can Help!

"I would love to adopt, but we could never afford it."

This is one of the statements we've heard many times, and we've even said it ourselves. In reality, very few people have a spare $30,000+ just sitting in a bank account. We sure don't. But we began this process in faith that the Lord would provide what was needed to bring one of his 'fatherless' children home. In the last couple of months, we've had some of you inquire about ways you can help, and that is what this post is about.

The girls and I have been sewing over these last few weeks and are finally ready to begin our first fundraiser! These hooded towels are great for babies and younger children since they are much larger than the baby towels you find in the stores. You can find more colors, dimensions, personalization information, and ordering instructions by clicking on our "Fundraiser" tab at the top of this page.

For those of you who have no need for the towels, but would still like to help, we are partnering with adopttogether.org to accept tax-deductible donations. You'll find a donate button at the top right of our blog. If you follow this link, you'll be able to see our story, a list of fees we have been or will be charged, as well as where we are in reaching our goal.

We know there are some who cannot afford to help financially. That's ok. You can still be a part of bringing our daughter home by praying with us on a daily basis that God will provide what is needed. Pray that government officials, both from the American and Chinese government, will be motivated to keep our paperwork moving. We pray every day for our little girl's safety and for the Lord to bring her comfort, though she may not know anything about Him yet. Join us in these prayers.

You can also help get the word out about our adoption by sharing these links and posts with friends on social media. We want to encourage others that adoption is possible!

Finally, we have decided to have some fun as we hit certain financial milestones. Our first milestone is $5,000 in donations, and when we reach this milestone, the girls will do their best to make Jason as pretty as possible. This will include the use of any makeup and accessories that they think are necessary, AND of course there will be a video of this posted online for your enjoyment.
