MATCHED!!

Many of you know our exciting news, but we wanted to update on here as well that...

WE'VE BEEN MATCHED!!!

On June 26th, we received the best phone call, letting us know that an amazing, selfless woman had chosen us to raise her child!  What an honor!  We are so incredibly excited and can not wait to bring home baby L!  We do not know the gender yet, but the due date will be in January!

We covet your prayers as we will have roughly $15,000 to raise before January!  The Lord is so faithful and we know without a doubt that He will provide!

If you are interested in donating, we currently have two fundraisers going on:

 Puzzle Fundraiser:

We have a customized 252 piece puzzle and are selling each piece for $20. We will write the name of whoever buys a piece on the back of the puzzle. Once our puzzle has been completed we will put it in a double sided picture frame to hang in the nursery. If you are interested, you can be represented on multiple pieces of our puzzle! To purchase puzzle pieces, you can donate through our Paypal account.  

 

 

 

 T-Shirt Fundraiser:

We have launched our Adoption T-Shirt Fundraiser through Bonfire Funds.  We have a goal to sell 100 shirts! We know that's a lot, but we are hopeful that we can do it!  Our fundraiser will only last 12 more days!  At the end of the 12 days, Bonfire Funds will create and ship your shirts to you.  You can purchase them here. A portion of the proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to our adoption fund! The shirts come in multiple colors and styles including a Youth size!

Ways to Pray:

• Continue to pray for the health of Mama C and Baby L
• Pray for our relationship with Mama C as we get to know each other  
• Pray as we continue to trust in the Lord's provision as we apply for grants and fundraising
• Pray for Curtis and I as we wait and prepare for Baby L!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true. But the time is coming quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed. Habakkuk 2:3

The Lord is so faithful friends!  He continually reminds us that He is writing our story and is in complete control. We recently shared with you all that we had signed on to work with a consulting group that we felt the Lord led us to called Christian Adoption Consultants.  We believe that He has recently revealed to us one of the reasons that He led us to them.  A couple of weeks ago, we found out that the adoption agency we had signed on with two years ago, Chosen Child, will be closing their doors and will no longer be an active adoption agency.  Although this was very tough to hear, we are so thankful that we are now clients with CAC.  His timing is perfect and His plans are so so good.  We are working with Chosen Child to see how this will affect our family. 

 Puzzle Fundraiser!

In more exciting news, we are starting a new fundraiser!  Anyone who donates to #bringinghomebabyL through our puzzle fundraiser will forever be a part of our adoption journey.
