EXCITING NEWS!!

We are so excited to share that I just found out today that our Dossier went to China last week. This is such awesome news!!! I'm waiting to find out the exact day it went...but I do know it went out last week!! :) Soon we will find out what our LID (Log in Date) is.  Once all that takes place...China will match our paperwork with the little boy our agency matched us with.  Once China gives us PA (Pre-approval) for us to be matched to him...we get to share his precious face here with you all!!! We cannot WAIT!!! AHHH...our paperwork is finally in China!!!

FUNDRAISERS:

After 7 months, 80 families, OVER 240 hours of editing around 6000 photos - We have "officially" ended our $50 Family Photo Fundraiser!! WOW!! What an AMAZING 7 months it has been!! Because of God's provision of those wonderful 80 families we raised close to $7000 to go toward our adoption expenses!! This is AWESOME!! There are so many people who have helped us make this happen....but we'd especially like to thank Dawn Miller Eaves , Tara Hall, andMarissa Hooven for helping us with locations for our photo shoots and Jennifer Daugherty for camera equipment. The photos would DEFINITELY not have been as good without you ladies helping us out!!! Thank you ALL for so much support and encouragement!! We are praying about how to continue with Family photos in 2013. We'll keep you posted!! Can't wait to see what God is going to do next!!! Please continue to pray for provision for our journey!!!

A NEW BOOK:

I am excited to share with everyone a new book that my husband has written titled, "GRAFTED: Preparing the Way for Adoption." 

If you or someone you know are considering adoption....I believe it would be an encouragement to you! Our hope is that 

it will help families prepare spiritually to bring a new child into their family through adoption. Adoption is God's heart!!  If you know of anyone in the adoption process, please forward this to them... I believe it could be a great encouragement to them. You can purchase the paperback or Kindle version on Amazon. Details below!

If you have an Amazon Prime account, you can borrow the ebook for FREE for a limited time!!

ONE MORE THING:

Mark and I have been working on a project to help some of our friends The Bohlingers raise money for their adoption.  We've created a 2013 Calendar highlighting children from all over the world who have been adopted.  Its an awesome calendar!! All the proceeds will go to their adoption expenses!! Thanks for taking a look at it on  Amazon here:

THATS IT!!!

That's all we have to share for now!! Let us know if you have questions!! PLEASE continue to pray for our process and God's provision.  He has provided SO MUCH already!! We are almost half way to our goal!!! It's going to be exciting to see how He is going to provide!!!

We appreciate you all so much!! Blessings!
