What's Up?!?

Adopting a baby is hard work so it helps to have as many supports as possible along the way to keep you going.

I had the following blog shared with me on facebook and I wanted to share it on here. It describes perfectly how I feel. It is helpful to know there are other people out there going through the same ups and downs of the adoption process.  If you have time check it out, http://wondermentetc.com/2013/08/02/dear-friends-of-waiting-adoptive-moms-some-things-to-know-also-were-sorry/    

The waiting game is so hard, I find myself thinking about our child everyday. I see little kids and wonder about ours...Are they even born yet? Is it a boy or a girl? Are they hungry? Thirsty? Lonely? Scared?
All we can do is Pray and Trust that God is taking care of them and has perfect timing in when we can bring them home.

God has placed several families in our lives that are in the process or have gone through the process of adoption. It is a great opportunity to be able to work together to bring home our babies! It opens the door to a lot of prayer opportunities to pray for these families and their children too.

God continues to bless us with different fundraiser opportunities and we are excited to see what HE is up to!!

 Here is a list of the following fundraisers that are currently going on or coming up. :) Please pray about these opportunities and please feel free to share these with your family and friends.
