About Us!

My photo
We are Elizabeth and Allan Pack and have been married 8 years. In November 2011 we took that leap of faith and applied to adopt a child from Ethiopia. This blog is all about our journey from start to finish. We patiently waited for 5 years to bring our child home and as of April 2016 we felt God was leading us to withdraw from the program and help another family bring home their child.

Fundraiser Pictures!

Yesterday we had our envelope stuffing for Both Hands and a Zumba/Bootcamp Fundraiser! Everything went well and we appreciate everyone who came out to support us! We are grateful for those who took time out of their day to come get the letters ready to ask for sponsorship for our event on May 18th. Both Hands is a two step process and will only work if people are willing to ask their family & friends for sponsorship and then show up on May 18th to work on Mary's home. So, those who couldn't make it, we still need your help! We have plenty of envelopes and papers for you to send out!

Zumba for the ladies was a lot of fun! The guys had a boot camp (like crossfit) outside and had to improvise cause it was raining but it was still good. Here are some pictures from yesterday's events!

*Also, that sticker we put on Allan's car, probably won't last long. It is already coming up on the edges and blocks all view out the back window. It was a great idea, but will probably have to be taken down soon. Hope it reaches a few people before that happens. *
These are the letters we are sending out for Both Hands Project

Car Sign

 So, We have a friend who saw this idea on Pinterest and with the help of someone she knows made it happen. We now have an awesome sign on Allan's car to let everyone know we are Adopting! We hope to attract people to our blog and share our testimony of how great our God is and what he is doing in our lives through this Adoption.
