Will You Join Us?

I have added a Paypal donation button to our blog wall for those who feel led to join us in being His hands and feet in this adoption journey. This adoption will most likely cost $25,000-$30,000 to complete. We already have all the Stateside approvals and necessary documents to send to our child(ren)'s country covered and a few hundred more. According to my nerd spreadsheet :) there is an estimated $26,000 more that we will need to complete this adoption for TWO boys.

We are only submitting ONE dossier, which means the boys will need to be in the same orphanage or else we will only be adopting one this time. At least one of the boys will have special needs. If they are brothers, one may not have a special need. If they are currently unrelated, they will likely BOTH have special needs. Again, my heart is burdened for a little guy with Cerebral Palsy. We will also be requesting to look at profiles of children with other medical conditions and special needs such as, but not exclusively, HIV+, AIDS, hearing impairment, and congenital heart malformation.

Each time we have stepped out in faith, God has used MANY people from many different backgrounds and belief systems to join us in making this vision a reality. Without the help of others we could not do it. God has provided well for us in order to feed, clothe, and care for each one of our children including their therapies, schooling, and medical care. I know I have sometimes heard others claim if you cannot afford the adoption you cannot afford to raise the child, and that's just silliness. God gets so much glory when we step out in faith WHERE HE CALLS US (in this case, it is for our family to adopt again), and trust Him to provide, though it seems impossible. He is glorified as others come together to care for orphans and family's in Christ to do His will. He is glorified as He multiplies each dollar that is given until all that is needed is provided. He doesn't call us all to ADOPT but He does call us all to care for orphans; here is ONE way you can help make a real difference...be a part of reducing the number of orphans with just a few dollars, just one kid or one family at a time!

Would you prayerfully consider joining us in this journey?
