God is Awesome!

God is faithful and I am amazed at the mighty move of His hand of provision! Today we received an anonymous donation of $3100!! This is the exact amount we need to pay our first agency fee and the remainder of our homestudy fee! May the Lord who sees what is done in secret reward your generosity abundantly! Thank you to everyone who has prayed, donated and spread the word.

Incentives for Isabella

We are officially on the adoption track toward adopting Isabella! The CCAA (Chinese Center of Adoption Affairs) has deemed us eligible to adopt and the agency has approved us as adoptive parents. Now we have to come up with the first agency fee ($2500) and the homestudy fee ($1000) within the next two weeks. After our homestudy has been approved, we will be eligible to apply for various adoption grants and no-interest loans, so we really need help meeting these upfront costs to get us to that point. As an incentive to our donors, our oldest daughter, Avery, has offered to make a custom duct tape purse with matching checkbook cover for anyone who contributes $250 and our youngest daughter, Kendall, will make a duct tape wallet for anyone who donates $100. Thank you for your help!

Please Help Us Bring Isabella Home!

Our family takes the biblical mandate to provide for the orphan quite literally. We have adopted 2 children and are trying to adopt a 3rd. Isabella is a 10 month old little girl from China who has special medical needs. She suffers from a type of Spina Bifida and needs an operation to help her grow and function normally. The cost of her adoption will be well over $20,000. We are planning several different fundraisers and coupled with the generosity of you, our family and friends, we hope to be able to raise enough money to cover the costs of bringing Isabella home. Please consider contributing any amount, but keep in mind that 150 people giving only $100, helps us reach our goal. Thank you for doing your part in helping "birth" Isabella into our family.
