T-shirts!

We finally have a terrific t-shirt fundraiser!  We have partnered with AdoptionBug.com to offer a t-shirt fundraiser.  This is one we really like because we got to choose the t-shirts we most loved.  There is such a vareity in what we chose and we made sure to offer a variety of colors (black, light blue, and even grey) to give maximum choices.  Some of them are even "Bulgarianized" with special touches to demonstrate a love for Bulgarian adoption.  Others are just terrific to wear, whether you want to support orphans or simply show your love for faith, hope, love, and family.

Please follow the link below to connect with our family's fundraiser, or use the button on the left:

We receive a percentage of the sales of these t-shirts.  Although we do not earn as much as others who offer t-shirts, we definitely wanted to choose ones that we really liked and would even wear ourselves! (I purchased the Bulgarian 'adoption rocks' t shirt from another family myself - I love it!)

We have heard good news about the USCIS; the 'scuttlebut' is that USCIS has been moving pretty quickly these days.  It's our hope that God continues to move the mountains that stand in the way of meeting our future son.  We have watched with gratefulness and awe as God has moved the hearts of some to consider adoption from The Bad Place.  Others have been led to offer generously to their causes.  Others are really praying.  It is all so needed!

You can help financially by purchasing a bracelet for $3 (website on the right side), considering purchasing from Barefoot Books (website on the left side), downloading the beautiful song my husband created (button on the left - it's only $1!), giving directly to our family's Reece's Rainbow account (any amount helps) or wearing a t-shirt. We're trying to give everyone who wants to lots of ways to help and support us, through big ways and small ways.

How can you help most of all?

2 Corinthians 1:11:
"You must also help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many."

Pray for our family.  Pray for our Little Dude.  Pray for The Bad Place.  If you don't pray, think of us.  Think of our future son.  We are real people, doing a really big thing, and sometimes we are really scared. 

I take time at the end of nearly every writing to thank you.  Thank you for reading this blog, for sharing our story, for helping us and for caring about us.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.  "And let the peace of God be in your hearts, to which you were called in one body, and be thankful."  (Col 3:15).
