We dove in today and started our first fundraiser for bringing our son home. It is so exciting and scary and exciting. It has been very difficult for me to ask for financial support for this, for a variety of reasons discussed on this blog previously, but know that the Lord works through others’ blessings. We chose an adoption fundraiser called Just Love Coffee for many reasons. First, it was one of the only fundraisers we could find that would help us in this early stage of the process. Second, I like coffee. Third, the Free Trade coffee benefits not only us, but the local farmers in countries where it is truly needed. The website for those interested is:
Our intention is to also provide other opportunities for fundraising/contributions. We have added a link to donate if you are not interested in coffee :). It is placed in the right hand corner of this blog. Also, look for updates on the blog!
BUT more important than people’s financial support, we would ask for your prayer support. This will be a long journey. This is our first effort to really make this adoption adventure public. We are excited to let others know. Our prayer requests are for the Lord’s will to be done; for our son; for the family of our son and the many events that may surround his early life; and for this process to strengthen our faith and commitment to the Lord.
I had a fantastic conversation with the agency director today, and I’m so excited about what is in store for us.
