Progress...

Hello friends!

It's been a few days...We have been really busy around here and PRODUCTIVE!!!! We have got things done around the house that needed to be done a long time ago! It feels good!

We are currently waiting to hear when the next information meeting is through the agency we are adopting through. I keep checking my email waiting to hear! I'm so excited! While I am waiting I have been working on some fundraising ideas. One of the ideas I am working on is a Spaghetti Dinner/Auction. My dad is an auctioneer and has offered his services to do an auction for us. I am going to be asking people to donate baked goods, any unwanted furniture or garage sale items, handmade goods, etc. I will also be going around to businesses as well to ask for donations. Let me know if you have anything you would like to donate. I don't have a date set yet. I will let you know as soon as I do. Also, if you have any fundraising ideas let me know. I would appreciate ANY input. :)
                                           

A New Beginning

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

This year is going to be a GREAT year for our family! We are beginning the fundraising process for the adoption of a baby girl. :) WOOHOO!!!! We have been praying for God's timing and it seems that now is the time (see previous post from Dec. 3). This is obviously not my first post, but I wanted to wait to share this page at the right time. I couldn't think of any better day than January 1 to share the announcement of our new journey.

I hope that all of you will follow our page and join us on this journey of adoption. I will be posting about the progress towards finding our baby girl and also about any fundraisers that we will be doing. There is also a "Donate" button on this page that may be used to donate any amount at any time to the adoption. It is linked directly to our "Adoption Fund".

It is so exciting that this time has finally come! My heart is overjoyed that we now have an adoption account opened and the process is on it's way! :) Please keep our family and the birth parent, whoever she may be, in your prayers. I know that God already knows who she is and has our baby girl picked out.

We have a couple of names in mind, but we aren't sharing them yet. I posted previously about Andrew's name choice (Penelope). He loves to aggravate me about it. My mom texted me this morning and said that on the TODAY show they said one of the top girl names for 2014 is Penelope. Shhh! Don't tell Andrew. :)

May God richly bless you and your family this year!
