We are adopting! AND we are MATCHED! We can hardly believe it. In January (only 3 short months away) we look forward to the addition of a new baby to our family. We are so excited! We are busy picking up extra hours at work, homeschooling the kids and filling out the never-ending mountains of paperwork. Even our dog is doing her part going to obedience classes as required by our adoption agency! Now we are at the point where the rubber meets the road and we are in need of your help. Adoption is such a wonderful thing and we are so grateful for the way it brings families together. We are asking if you would please prayerfully consider supporting us in one of the following ways First, pray for us! Seriously. We need it and love to know that God answers prayer. Second, we could really use your financial support. And there are options! Isabelle has come up with her own fundraiser. Honestly, all by herself. She is making rainbow loom bracelets like crazy and has decided to sell them for $1 each. They are awesome, and she is REALLY excited to sell them. Leave a comment that you would like a bracelet and we will be sure to send you one! Ben, Sarah and Joshua have chosen to do a puzzle fundraiser. Each puzzle piece is $20 and when you donate (whatever amount you feel led to give - we really aren&'t sticklers) we write your name on the back of the puzzle pieces. As people donate, the puzzle comes together, and we end up with a beautiful reminder of how blessed, loved and cared for this precious baby is by all of our friends and family. (And if you want a bracelet too, just let us know!) THANK YOU SO MUCH. From the bottom of our hearts, Ben, Sarah, Izzy & Joshua
