There really are no words to describe what an amazing community we live in. They opened their hearts (and their wallets) when we brought Haven home last year. And this time with Hailee, well, they are going above and beyond.
This morning’s newspaper has a little story on our family-and our mission to bring Hailee home. You can read it here.
There is no picture in the online article-but this is the one in the newspaper.
(I had to laugh-fancy picture for the newspaper and my dear children are, as usual, without shoes. So very posh we are!)
We feel so blessed. Not just that we are getting some much-needed publicity for our yard sale and silent auction this Saturday-but that the heart of adoption is spreading in our community. That, to us, is worth far more than any money can buy. More and more people are hearing that adoption IS possible. That though the financial barrier is huge-it IS possible. They are seeing that God can use ordinary, plain old people [who never put shoes on their beloved children], just like us, to rescue these children from desperate situations.
Yes, God uses every adoption and journey a family takes to bring their child home as seed to stir the hearts of another family to do the same.
That excites me!
More, more and more children coming home.
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah indeed! What a great article! :o) Prayers for God’s blessings to overflow!!!
WOW Adeye…this is wonderful! I love the family picture also!

Really…who wears shoes in the summer time? We forever have dirty feet! Praying that this article touches hearts, and helps your fundraiser reach an amount beyond your dreams!!
Amen! The favor of God is on this sweet waiting daughter of yours!!!
What an awesome article! I love the family picture. We are a no shoe family too! God is moving on behalf of Hailee and your family. He is good! Amen!
What an awesome way to spread the word about adoption. They did an awesome job on your story.
Beautiful article. I’m in tears.
Fantastic A, we’ll be praying for Saturday, can’t wait to hear what God does. LOV
Woohoo….Go God!!! That is so awesome to see your community come together to help bring Hailee home! That is so very rare and makes me believe that God must be doing some big things in hearts there. What a BLESSING!! So glad that you kept on in faith to bring sweet Hailee home!!
So God is already at great work through the life of Hailee. There is no telling what wonders He has in store through her adoption. Awesome!

Yipeee no shoes…… No wondering where I come from… I would rather have no shoes then go through the amount I am because Reece has to wear them at school and he HATES it!!!

Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! - We serve a great and mighty God.
How serious is our Father about Orphans & Widows? I found a radical scripture which shows us How passionate He is about them.
Exodus 22:22-24(MSG) “Don’t mistreat widows or orphans. If you do and they cry out to me, you can be sure I’ll take them most seriously; I’ll show my anger and come raging among you with the sword, and your wives will end up widows and your children orphans.
God is faithful, so very faithful. I am so proud of you and your community rallying around you to bring Hailee home. God sees theirs and your hearts and your faithfulness. Looking forward to news about how well the garage sale went my friend. Wish we could be there with you xxx M
What a great article! I love the pic… that would be my children without shoes as well… hmmm…. 2 weeks ago we drove all the way to the big city to discover the oldest was totally without shoes! Then there is SUnday morning at church… yep, those are my kids without shoes, again!
Pray for your sweet girl and encouraged to see how God is providing to bring her home!
Blessings,
