We have officially hit a new phase in our adoption journey! We have submitted many initial forms and as we prepare for our home study, it is time to start fundraising. We would love to be able to simply fund it all ourselves, but we know that God has placed us in community and calls us to rely on others to walk this journey with us. He is teaching us humility and dependence through this process. When God calls any of His children to something big, He never intends for us to walk it alone. He has shown us many things in Scripture about how to live this life for Christ, but this one is continually before us in this season:
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27
We want to ask you to be a part of our community of support in bringing our little boy home. In doing this, you are caring for the orphan in distress.
Tomorrow we will launch our online fundraiser for this first phase of fees with onemission.fund. This is a wonderful organization that helps many people fundraise for different causes. It will allow you to donate directly to us, purchase one of our custom t-shirts, or buy other awesome products while 40% of your purchase goes to our fund!
I will update here as we fundraise, but watch Facebook starting tomorrow for more details!
We can't do this without you, so we hope that you know how grateful our hearts are for each one who supports us in this and is used by God to build our family!
