Ways to help if you are so inclined...

One of the most common things I hear people say about adoption is that they would consider adopting if it wasn't for the cost. I know it is a lot of money, but I am so thankful for the numerous organizations that will give grants and interest free loans to adoptive couples. As soon as our home study is finished ( please Lord, let it be this week!!) We can apply for adoption grants. Most of them are anywhere from $1000-$3,000 .There are many many other ways to raise money to cover an adoption. Here are a few opportunities you have to partner with us to bring Isaac home, if you feel the Lord leading you to help:

1. Premier Jewelry Show

I am having a Premier party at my house next Monday February 22 at 7:00. IF you live in the Kernersville/W-S/Greensboro area and would like to come, you are MORE than welcome to join us. My sweet consultant, Amanda is donating 40% of all sales to our adoption.

2. Tee Shirts

We have about 35 more tee shirts to sell. They are $15 and you can email me and send a check, come by( if you live close) and pick one up or use paypal.

3. Just Love Coffee

If you click on the button to the right it will take you to our virtual coffee shop. There you can choose your choice of coffee( I recommend the Ethiopian ones) and we receive $5 for each bag sold.

4. Eternal Family Fund

Our agency, America World has a program where you can donate money directly to our adoption account and you can count it as a tax deduction. We have a form we can email you to fill out and you send it in with your donation and AWAA will send you a receipt.

5. Frequent Flyer Miles

If you have miles saved up, we have heard, that we can use them on our plane trip to Ethiopia. I have no idea really how this works, but if you have miles to donate...I can find out!!

5. Garage Sale

Late May/early June we are planning to have the mother of all garage sales! If you have any items to donate (especially bigger items like furniture) We will gladly take them off your hands come spring.

We also take cash, check or charge.... :)

So far the Lord has met the need when we have needed money to pay for a fee, we are trusting He will continue to do so throughout. Thanks so much to all of you who have already given and continue to support us with prayer as well.

Micah 6:8 (New International Version)

⁸ He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
