It's been a while since I've posted so here is everything to catch you all up!
Our casino night was fantastic. Aaron and I cannot ever thank everyone enough who
contributed. We sure felt loved
and supported by so many wonderful friends and family. Kathleen did an incredible job putting
on this amazing event. After an
evening of laughter, food, games, cheers, and a few tears, the tally was
totaled and it blew us away… $7,500 given that night. We couldn’t believe it. We thought it would take some time to process it, but the
truth is we still can’t wrap our heads around the fact that we have been given
to so generously. It is truly
humbling, you guys. To everyone
who gave, who helped with, who prayed over this night – We love you. You are a part of Rose’s story now and
forever.
Our home study is complete and we’ve been working on our
dossier. More fun legal paperwork
to fill out and all types of appointments to go to. I can’t believe all that goes into adopting a child! It’s a lot but it’s all worth it. To take a child out of an orphanage, an
institution where no child belongs.
And to bring her into a home with a mom and a dad, two little sisters,
and a future bright with possibilities. The work is nothing compared to the benefit.
We are now at just over $14,000 raised toward the total cost
of $25,000. More than half way
there! It is amazing to watch how
God is providing. I recently
received a surprise that an anonymous donor has offered to do a matching grant,
dollar for dollar, up to $500! Thank
you tons, whoever you are! If you
would like to donate toward giving a really sweet girl a loving home with a
forever family, we would be so grateful.
And know that anything you give will be doubled, yay!! How great is
that?!
