Our Journey to Africa: A new mom blog and some giveaways!

Hop on over and check out this new mom blog and see what they are giving away!

How you can help:

1. Most importantly, pray!

Pray for us, our agency, and our little boy that will soon join our family.

2. You can donate.

Our adoption is going to cost between $25,000-$38,000. Our God is BIG and we know HE will provide! You can see the complete cost break-down here. You can safely donate thru the button below. Thanks for all your support!

3. Do you have a great fundraiser idea to share with us? We are all ears, please share, share, share!

4. Are you the very organized type, do you love to plan events? Maybe you could do more than just participate in a fundraiser, we will accept any and ALL help ;)
