Results!!

I don't even have words.

We have been so blessed.

We use the phrase "God is Good" but I still need to be reminded. (thats another blog)

Ok soon I will post pictures of the Adoption Fund Raiser Spaghetti Dinner.
We had a great night. We didn't get an official count but we are guessing around 150 friends, family and supporters came to help us.

Let me just start by saying God has not left us alone in this. We are amazed at the amount of people who have come to support us. It is very common for adopting families to take this journey alone. Thank you for making our situation the rarity.

God has blessed us indeed! At the beginning of Saturday afternoon we needed to raise $5,000.
By the end of Saturday night we had raised $3,550!!!! $1,000 of that was just PEANUT BUTTER BALLS!!!!! Can you believe that?!! Our sweet sweet friend spent hours in her kitchen pouring so much time energy and love into each of those pieces of candy.

So we need about $1,400.
After looking at a $22,000 goal and thinking we would never get there.... $1,400 seems like nothing.

So thank you. Thank you to all of you who came out and supported us. Thank you for being willing to give of yourselves. THANK YOU to all the people who spent the day with us... setting up, cooking, cleaning. God has used you to bring our Baby one step closer to home.
