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.

Texas Roadhouse Fundraiser

     We had our Texas Roadhouse fundraiser on Thursday and it went really well. We are so thankful to everyone who continues to support us through this adoption process. It means a lot for people to take time out of their busy schedules to help us. Texas Roadhouse is in Asheville, so for most of our friends it is a long commute from Brevard to Asheville and yet they are still willing to do it! :) Also, we are so grateful for Biltmore Baptist Church and their heart for adoption. They had a group of 40 people come out to support us and the Lewis family! That is so amazing! We also had the privilege of meeting a family who has adopted an older boy from Ethiopia and got to hear a little of their story. We are so thankful for all that God is doing in our lives!
     We are still in the process of trying to buy land and get moved into a bigger place before our homestudy next year. But, we know God is in control, He has perfect timing and He will work it all out for His glory! Until then we just pray and wait... We are still looking into doing a spaghetti dinner fundraiser or some other kind of fundraiser sometime soon.
      Here are a few pictures from Texas Roadhouse. Thanks again to everyone who came out to support us!

Plans

We received our updated I 171-H so we are good on paperwork until next year when we will have to update it again. We are so thankful that God continues to move us forward in the adoption process. It might be small steps but it is progress and gets us one step closer to bringing home Baby Pack.

We are joining with another couple who are in the process of adopting for a fundraiser at Texas Roadhouse on July 10th from 4-10pm where we will get 10% if you bring in a flyer. Here is the flyer that you will need to bring with you for us to get a percentage for our adoption.





We are also looking into doing a Spaghetti dinner fundraiser sometime soon. We haven't been able to do as many fundraisers this year as we would have liked but we trust that God has great plans. We are still in the process of trying to find a bigger place for our growing family and truly feel like God blessed us so much last year because He knew this year would be busy with other life changes.

Waiting for Baby Pack is hard but we know God's timing is perfect! :) We just continue to pray and look forward to the day we can bring our little one home.

Go Fund Me

One of our friends told us about this fundraiser called Go Fund Me, so we have signed up and look forward to see what comes from it. The link is: http://www.gofundme.com/8x58sg, please feel free to share it!! :) We are in the process of looking into new fundraisers to try. Any suggestions would be great! We continue to trust in God and know that He will provide the way.

We were approved for Concurrent Family Building which is exciting and now we are waiting on our updated home study, so we can send it in to get our updated I 171-H.

We are so grateful for all the God is doing in our lives!! We continue to pray for our little one in Ethiopia and can't wait to bring them home!
