Wow! Sometimes God just totally blows me away. Most of those times He uses people to do it...the glorious Body of Christ!When we set out to adopt Hailee, we knew that it would be next to impossible to get any grant money for this adoption. Unlike our previous two adoptions, this time there is no agency involved...which pretty much cancels us out from applying for financial aid. … [Read more...]

We only have about $5900 left to raise. That's it! When we started this adoption journey we needed $25, 000 00. It sounded like such a huge amount of money. Now we're almost there. … [Read more...]
