CHRISTMAS in July!!!

Not only were we recently put on our waiting list in July---we just recieved a big gift today. We have been *trying* to wait patiently to hear whether or not we recieved an adoption assistance grant and Praise the Lord we did! The grant covers half of our next big fee---which is the referral fee. The referral fee needs to be in place so that when we are matched with our daughter....we are able to immediately pay that fee (I think technically we have a week or so---to beg, steal, and borrow). To be completely honest, we need $8,235 (for the next step alone) and we have $4,890---so we are more than half way there. (Some of this is from my awesome brother & friends who have graciously given to close the distance between Chloe and her soon to be new home.) [Thanks Brother Greg for running the distance]. Anyways, PLEASE if you haven't already, go "like" Show Hope on facebook so that they can continue to help others on their adoption journeys. For every "like" donors are donating funds to further their work.

Our next thing to bridge the gap will be our Labor of Love Adoption Auction, where YOU get to fight (out bid) for fun stuff and yet all proceeds goes towards the adoption. This will be in late Aug. thru Labor Day (hence Labor of Love)---If you don't know me---I am a sucker for alliteration. And besides a possible crop (which would just be fun anyways)--I think we are nearing the end of our fundraising efforts---Still check out Sweet Madelynne or our Current Fundraisers Tab. God has been so good! Thank you for following our sentiments. We are so grateful for all the support of friends and family.
