Adopting Yoseph! WE NEED YOU!

As mentioned in the previous post, we have received our referral! We are so excited and so in love with our little guy! But there is a bit of a harsh reality--adoption is expensive. We received our referral quickly and have a large chunk of money due NEXT WEEK! Our plan has always been to apply for a matching grant and to send out support letters so that others can share in the joy of our journey. Thankfully, we were just approved for a matching grant! And thankfully, we have our letter written! BUT, snail mail won't get us the turnaround we need by NEXT WEEK! So, we are using the resources of social media to get the word out! Below is a copy of our letter and the letter from Lifesong, our grant provider. Please prayerfully consider joining us in our journey to bring our little one home! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us! Thank you in advance for your love and support!

*Online giving is available and fast! See the bottom of our letter for details!

**I can email you the letter (with pictures of Yoseph!) if you are interested. It's a little easier to read that way!






Although we can't show his picture on here, if you contact me, I will GLADLY send you his cute face!

And We Are Back!

As you can imagine, our lives have changed a bit in the past year. To say the least. Hosanna just turned a year old last month! She is so much fun and keeps me very busy (as you can tell from the lack of blogging)! I treasure every moment with her and am so thankful to be her mommy! We could also say that our lives have changed a bit in the past three days! On Wednesday we got 'The Call' we had been waiting for! We received our referral for the most adorable little 3ish/4ish year old boy! He is just a doll! Chunky cheeks just like Hosanna! We are praising God for this precious little one and praying for him as we continue with the process to bring him home!
