Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!


Several months ago we were approached by many people in our congregation about how they could help with our adoption process. After lots of thought and feeling uneasy about asking for financial help they took it upon themselves and started planning fundraiser's for us. We have had lunches, an Auction and a bake sale. These fundraisers have brought in close to $6,000.00.....WOW!!!!! We have been truly humbled and so very grateful for all of you who have joined us on this journey. We feel a huge burden lifted as the financial fears no longer loom as heavy.

We know how very blessed we are. We know that we are not doing this alone. We are so excited to share with our new little one what an important role our church family played in making it possible to bring her home. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Those words fall so shamefully short to expressing our hearts. Yet we don't know how else to say it. So, thank you.

What a wonderful blessing. I love thinking about how beautifully loved this child is by you and the church before you've even met!

I am SO looking forward to meeting this precious bundle!!! :) We love you guys and are proud of you and the faith journey you are taking to get her. Thank YOU for allowing us to be a part of your journey.

And the auction was awesome. So much fun... you guys should adopt from Africa more often. :) ha
