Our Successful Week

Just a quick update from last weekend's fundraisers.

We had another great turn out from the garage sale. We were able to sell almost everything, and there was A LOT. We still had quite a bit of clothes, kids toys, and home goods left. We were able to donate everything that remained to the Kaufman County Children's Shelter.

The karaoke night and silent auction was also a great turn out. Thanks to everyone that donated all of the silent auction items and came to show your support. We would also like to thank TimeOut for hosting and providing the DJ.

At the end of both days we were able to raise $3,000!!! It seems like every time we turn around, our goal is getting closer and closer.

We are only $3,400 away from being able to send out our profile book to birth moms, and only $10,225 left total.

It is nearly everyday that someone approaches us with questions about our adoption journey. You would think that we would be getting exhausted telling our story over and over again, but that's not the case for us. We love explaining in every detail how we got here (more than what anyone really wanted to know). All of you are the reason we get those questions. We never wanted everyone to share our story to get donations. We wanted to open as many people's eyes and hearts to the beauty and possibilities that is adoption. And all the intricate details of God's unfolding plan. With every step closer we get, the bigger the audience we will attract. And the bigger the audience, the louder the message. We started at what seemed like an unreachable goal, but will soon end with an innocent child in our home and all of our lives.
