Puzzle Fundraiser

Are you able to donate $5.00 to our adoption? Then you can take part in  our very fun fundraiser! We have purchased this 100 piece puzzle, "An African Afternoon," and we are "selling" puzzle pieces for $5.00 each. For every $5 you are able to donate, we will write your name on the back of the puzzle piece and begin assembling the puzzle. As soon as the 100 pieces are sold, we will glue the puzzle together and be able to frame it and hang it in our new kids' room and have a beautiful, permanent record of some of the people who helped bring our new children home from Ethiopia. We will take pictures and post them with the progress along the way. Would you consider sponsoring one or more puzzle pieces in order to raise the final funds we need to finance our adoption? Thank you for your support and encouragement!

We received a referral today!

What an amazingly exciting day! We would like to request prayer from all of you as we consider the referral we just received for a young sibling set! Please pray for wisdom as we look through their files and make this big decision!

Mom and Dad had just left to go shopping  when the phone rang  - it was our America World social worker. She said she would call Mom and Dad on their cell phones, which left the four of us girls at home, waiting in excruciating turmoil and curiosity while we waited to see if the call had been our referral! Lucky for us it was only about four minutes before Mom and Dad came screeching back into our driveway with the big news that the call had been for our referral! We all screamed and rejoiced and screamed some more, and then poured over the email pictures and information.

Please continue to pray for us as we make this big decision! More to come soon....




Jumping for joy!!! This was Ashlyn's reaction to the exciting news- we were lucky to have our camera handy!

Samuel, another little boy from Ethiopia, was very excited to see the picture of the younger sibling, and promptly said "Boy-boy, friend!" and kissed the picture! How cute is that?!
