The time is now...for T-shirts!

One thing we have known from the beginning of this adoption process is that we cannot do it alone. First, we know that we will make it through this journey only by God's power. Not meaning to be trite, but this is truly a God-sized task in our lives. Second, we are depending on our friends and family to walk beside us through this process. We have already received encouraging words, wise counsel, and diligent prayers from those who know us best. With that support in mind, we knew that at some point we would have to make a request of you all to help us reach the financial goal to make this adoption happen--that time is now!!

Switching to international adoption means that our agency payments come sooner--we wrote the 1st check yesterday!! Our agency has provided us with a pretty good estimate of what this adoption will cost us--so, our goal is $25,000. Fortunately, we have already received a couple of donations to get the fund started. Also, we are personally saving and adjusting our famly budget to reach our goal quicker.

So, here's how YOU can help us. You can donate to the cause and/or purchase one (or more) of our new Empty Chair T-shirts:The suggested donation for each shirt is $20. You can go to our Empty Chair T-shirt page to get more details. We will be placing our first order on April 12. We are excited to see how God will provide. Please pray for us through this entire process and check back often.
