And then there were four.....

Dear Friends and Family, 

As you all know, God blessed us with wonderful son through adoption in 2013 and it has been an amazing two years! We can't believe his 2nd birthday is at the end of this month. Thank you again to all who helped us financially as well as through prayer and support.  

Drumroll please......  God has called us to adopt again! We can't wait to see what this journey will hold for us.  More than that, we know that God is working on our hearts and growing us as parents along the way, which we are very grateful for.  

We are asking for your support in the following ways.

Prayer

• Prayer in the area of finances.  We plan to raise the funds for this adoption and need guidance and direction from the Lord on what fundraising for this adoption looks like.
• Prayer for the birth family as they go through this process. 

• Prayer for the Lord to guard our hearts throughout the process because adopting is a BIG deal and can be very stressful. 
• Prayer for Knox as he will become a brother. 

Financial

As we mentioned the first time around, adoption is an expensive process. We plan to adopt through the same agency again and our cost will be between $25,000 and $35,000.  Like last time, we are committing to create as little debt as possible as we go through the process. We sold our home in 2014 and used the money we made off of the sale to pay off debt and replace two of our vehicles. Because of this we will be able to put more of our own money into this adoption but we will still need your help! 

• Our first fundraiser will be a silent auction. We are in the beginning stages of planning the auction to raise funds for the adoption. If you would like to be on the planning team please contact us, we can definitely use your help.  A venue to host the auction and items to be sold will be needed.  
• We will also have Adoption t-shirts  for sale in the near future.  
• For our last adoption we held 5 garage sales.  Since we don't have a house anymore, garage sales are not option. I can hear the sigh of relief from all of you that helped us with those!  
• Monetary donations are also welcome.
