Home Study IN HAND!!!!

Many of you likely saw on Facebook a couple weeks back that our home study was very close to completion, minus one last document. Well, we are so so SOOO excited to announce that we now have a completed home study in hand!!! For those of you who are new to the adoption world (like us), this means we have completed hurdle #1 of our adoption journey!

We are so thrilled to have this piece complete and also thrilled to have entered the second trimester of our pregnancy, meaning we are all finally feeling a bit more energetic and ready to creatively raise funds! Stay tuned to our blog for some special ways you can help us raise the needed funding to complete our adoption. As always, you may donate now via our PayPal link on the right-hand side of our blog, or you may now make a tax-deductible donation to our adoption by visiting https://adopttogether.org/danielandmae/. We are thanking God for already providing nearly 25 percent!

Please continue praying with us for:
1) Energy and creativity in fundraising--it's no secret, there are large sums of money to be raised before we will be able to bring a child into our family. However, the Lord does not call us to anything without providing for that call, so we are confident He's got a plan to provide!

2) The expectant mother who will carry our child to term--we have no idea what God's timetable is for when our adoption will take place, but we are praying for the sweet woman who either has already or will soon make the brave decision to give life to her little one through the blessing of adoption.

3) Meaningful conversations with others regarding adoption and orphan care. We often have chances to share our call to adoption with friends, family, and acquaintances, so pray we will always be in tune with what the Lord would have us to share regarding His little ones needing families.

Thanks again for all your love, prayers, and support as we continue this journey! May the Lord bless you as you seek Him!
