We need you

It looks like Angel Dance is wanting to work with us just as much as we are wanting to work with them!! I'm very excited and extremely freaked out to start this process!! For me it is simply a money thing.  $25,000 to $28,000 is a lot to take in...but I'm just going to focus on our first big check we need to send it which is $2,450. 

How you can help us:

I would love to clean or help organize your home. My husband is quite the handy guy and really enjoys creating organizational space in garages. He also has put in several wood floors. 

I am doing some creative things: hair bands, upcycled t-shirt dresses and baby onesies.

Our lovely and wonderful friends Mark and Becky Kyle have generously given us the rest of their reusable shopping bags (which are very cute by the way) and we will be selling those for $10.  Becky is an amazing photographer and is giving us a portion of her earning towards our adoption. We just love them and their sweet boy they just brought home from Ethiopia!!
The kids also want to have a part in this and will be making homemade blueberry muffins and chocolate chip cookies.

We are so thankful for the wonderful people God has placed in our lives and feel very blessed to have such a wonderful support system around us!! Thank you so much for your love, support, and prayers!!

creating with a cause

Say hello to the Upcycled t-shirt dress.  I made 3 different versions in hopes of selling them in an upcoming craft fair. I'm also making the cute little hair bands and some sweet little baby onesies.  Jada was sweet enough to play model for me..pretty sure she loved it! All proceeds will be going into the adoption fund! :)

baby steps

Application complete and our first check of $200 written.  It honesty feels like such a relief to have made this first step... even though it is just a baby step in the whole aspect of the adoption process. Now we just wait and pray that this agency, which I really like, wants to work with us too!!

first things first

So...I don't know WHY I keep writing Dominican when it's Democratic!! sheesh, there is a difference!! That is just so me and what keeps my husband laughing at me for the past 12 years! So with that addressed I can move on to much more exciting things! We think we many have our home study agency! What a relief.  They are the only ones who called me immediately after I emailed them & they put me at ease right away! I need a lot of hand holding at this point! So without freaking out too much we are going to sign that $200 check and see where God provides the rest of the 25,000! I'm a tad scared!!
