Our Journey to Africa: Coffee, get your coffee!!

Coffee, get your coffee!!

So, we have BIG news! We can officially re-enter into the Ethiopia program! Yippie!!!!!

To say that I'm over the moon is an understatement :-)

In honor of finishing my application.... again..... we are featuring our Just Love Coffee sale!

From now until July 5th, if we sell $75 in coffee, we will get 8 bags free that we can go ahead and sell at full price for our fundraiser! So, hop on over to our coffee store and get some yummy African Skies coffee or try the NEW Costa Rica coffee!

I'm honestly still a little in shock and not completely moving at full speed on paperwork. The baby slows me down...just a tad ;-) but, I have already called my homestudy agency to see what we need to gather and I will be printing doctor forms for hubby since he already has a doctor appointment for Wednesday....don't you just love how God works that out?! Plus, praise God, we are on break from homeschool everything, so I can focus on paperwork for a bit.

So, buy some coffee, pass the word, the Cote's are adopting...again....officially!!!!!

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 ;)
