We believe that adoption is apart of God's plan for our family...we believe God is in control of this whole process...we believe He has a child already in mind for us...we believe it will take an act of God to get thru this....
We are also human...and so that means, we are scared--there are A LOT of unknowns that can easily become overwhelming if we lose our focus.
Not only do we believe God has called us to adopt...but we feel like He is leading us to South Korea. Just a little info on S. Korea...they are
the only program we've heard of that requires we show we have the funding up front to pay for the adoption--as of today our bank account only reflects a fraction of the estimated $25k that is needed to fund an adoption, they have strict weight rules (if you know me...you know this is not one of my strong points--lucky for James he won't have to worry about the BMI numbers-don't get me started).
But yet, with all of this that makes it seem impossible...God has still placed South Korea on our hearts.
Let me disclose that although we are feeling led in this direction, we have not made a concrete decision regarding country. We are very open because more than anything we want to provide a family for a child that does not have one...that's the bottom line. But since we are pursuing South Korea...we are starting fund raising now...yep, I'm selling jewelry and I will be for over the next several months to raise the funds needed to bring a child home.
Currently, I have 16 scrabble pendant necklaces already made--I'm selling them for $15 each (see picture below). Once I sell out of these I will make a new batch and I'm hoping to have to continue restocking each month.
We will also be having additional fundraisers and will pass along that information once it becomes available. For now, check out the necklaces and if you'd like to purchase one-let me know thru email, facebook, phone, mail...whatever it takes--we have lots of necklaces to sell!
