Now that we've announced our adoption plans, we have to secure the funds to continue on to the next step, sending in our agreement to the adoption agency along with the agency fee. I am praying that we can send the agreement in by the 1st of February!
We have several fundraisers planned over the course of this journey, if needed, but fully trust God to provide the needed funds at the appropriate time and are not relying on our own abilities or pleas for help. We do not want at any time to make anyone feel awkward or pressured. We only want you to give money if you feel that is what you are supposed to be giving of the money God has entrusted to you. We know He may choose to use some of you to help support us financially, but others to be prayer warriors on our behalf or both.
He has spoken a peace into my heart that "He alone is sufficient. He not only possesses all the riches of this world, but is rich in love, rich in wisdom, rich in Grace and we can trust Him to provide completely in this process."
Our God is awesome. Our God is rich. He is our provider. We will trust in Him.
Our agency agreement paperwork is signed and ready. When the funds arrive, we will continue on to the next phase of this journey towards our little girl.
So, in our first fundraiser, Just One Piece, you can sponsor a puzzle piece (or several) for $5 (each). We have purchased a 1,000 piece puzzle of Old Port, Gdansk, Poland made by a Polish puzzle company, Castorland. On the back of the puzzle we will write the name of each puzzle piece sponsor. When we bring our little girl home, the completed puzzle will hang in her room as a reminder to us that we did not travel this road alone, that we were carried through with your love and prayerful as well as financial support. It will hang in her room as proof to her that countless people cared enough to give so that she could come home, to live here, with her forever family.
We are using a secure and completely free fundraising site to facilitate this project. Please visit www.youcaring.com/justonepiece to check it out!
