Adoption Fundrasing Journey

Hi everyone! Well, the journey to adopting is a wonderful roller coaster.  Navigating through Agencies, birth-moms, the selection process, creating the "perfect profile", and the hardest and most difficult part (at least for us) the financials.  We struggled jumping into the waters of adoption because of this very thing.  Asking for monetary donations, describing needs, laying out income details and being upfront about what is needed is very hard for us.  We know it can be a sin issue for us, the pride aspect.  Justin and I have had to lean on the Lord for all of this and know that He is the great provider and sustainer.  He will provide, and we trust that.  The process and the strength to be bold and speak up is where we struggle. 
So, with that said, we have been approved for a tax deductible donation site to help us with this process and allow any of our family or friends a way to help with monetary, tax deductible gifts.  We feel this would be an easy, non pressured way to let everyone know our needs and allow them to give if they feel led to do so. Please consider helping us if the Lord leads you to do so.  We have a long way to go and have been in contact with a couple potential opportunities that could be sooner rather than later.  Thank you all once again for all the support you've given us thus-far and we thank you in advance for the support we know you'll continue to provide. We love you all!  God is good, all the time. :)
