Blessings From Adoption

What other blessing can you get from adoption besides a baby?

We have been blessed to meet so many other people on our journey to adoption. Two of those people are Michael & Paula-Beth Toller.

Today we were blessed to have them in Dallas. We met them for a lunch date. It was so great to meet with another couple that is on the same journey.

They adopted their son Gabriel in June 2012 (Picture of Maegan, Paula-Beth and Gabriel Below).

We met them through our adoption agency: www.christianhomes.com

Look at Gabriel's awesome cheeks! ;)

October 28, 2012: Which Wich Lunch Date

Tuttle Talk 1190 AM

This past week on August 2, 2012 we had an awesome opportunity to be on a radio show.  The host, Andy Tuttle, is a personal friend and invited us on to share a little about our adoption story among other things.  We were nervous to say the least!  But Andy did a great job asking us questions and getting us comfortable talking.  Our case worker, Amy Munoz, was also present in the studio and she spoke about Christian Homes and Family Services.  We are so excited  to get the word out about adoption and we are very thankful for the opportunity that God provided us.  

Didn't catch the show? Well you can listen a couple of different ways:

Our Little Lemonade Selling Friend

It isn't very often that someone goes out of their way to sell something for you.  It is ESPECIALLY not very often that a precious young child decides to donate the proceeds of her lemonade stand to you.  Well today we are humbled and blessed by Avery Stubblefield (with the help of her wonderful parents I'm sure) who not only withstood the 100 degree Dallas heat but also managed to charm her way into making some money for our future son or daughter.  

We first met Avery and her parents several years ago while we were working in our church's child care ministry.  It has been wonderful to get to know Brian, Andi, and of course dear Avery.  This family has encouraged us towards adoption and the Lord used Andi to lead us to Christian Homes.  We are incredibly grateful for the love and support that you have offered to us!

Thank you so much!!

Support Letter

Dear Friends and Family,

We are very excited to be writing this letter to you! As many of you already know, God has placed it on our hearts to expand our family. In 2010 we started the journey to become parents and we have been unable to have children naturally. In 2011 we felt God leading us towards adoption. Through prayer and the guidance of the Lord we have now chosen to start this exciting process.

Through a friend’s suggestion the Lord led us to Christian Homes in Abilene, TX. In January 2012 we attended a two day orientation which allowed us to meet the staff, adoptive parents, birthmothers, and adoptees. We left this orientation with a better understanding of the adoption process and we felt encouraged by the Lord to choose Christian Homes as our adoption agency. Please visit their website (www.christianhomes.com) to learn more about who they are.

We are asking for your support in the following ways.

1. Prayer! Prayer in the areas of finances, navigating through the legal process, prayer for the birth-family, and all those who have been affected by infertility. Also we ask for prayer for patience because we are anxious to bring home our baby!!
2. Adoption is an expensive and we are asking for your financial support. Our cost will be between $25,000 and $35,000. We are committing to create as little debt as possible as we go through the process. If you would like to donate you can do so through the paypal button on our blog. If you would rather send you donation you can call us or mail it to us. Our contact information is listed below.

To follow our journey please go to our blog at http://ormesherfamilyexpansion.blogspot.com/

Thank you for your love, support and prayers,
We love you!
