A special request...

Many of you have asked for specific ways to help with the adoption of Baby LeMoine #3 and up until now we haven't had a very detailed list of things to ask for.  We have been so thankful to all of you who have joined with us in prayer over the situation and everyone involved!  We do feel like now is the time to start asking for your help in a fairly tangible way, so here is what we have come up with:

-Airline tickets.  Although the destination is still unknown, it is likely that we will need to travel across the country with little notice to get to the place our baby is born.  Do you have airline miles you would be willing to let us use for a ticket?  Or would you like to donate specifically to help us fund that cost?  We would so appreciate it!

-Gift cards for food.  Again, the situation is unknown, but it will be likely that we will spend a couple of weeks away from home as we wait for our baby to be released from the hospital and then as we wait for interstate paperwork to be processed.  Money or gift cards for food would be much appreciated!

-Preemie clothes.  We have no way of knowing whether our baby will be born premature, but many situations that we have opened ourselves up to could result in a premature birth.  Do you have any preemie clothes you would be willing to let us borrow if we needed them?  Or would you be willing to buy an outfit or two for us to have, just in case?  We want to be prepared to leave on a moment's notice and are trying to check things off of our list.  

-Money.  This is the kicker!  At the time of placement, we will owe our agency anywhere between $25,000-$30,000.  Would you prayerfully consider donating towards this amount?  Our friends and founders of a non-profit organization called The Moses Movement have offered to collect donationss specifically to be used towards funding our adoption.  These would be considered a tax-free donation and they would provide a receipt for your end of the year taxes.  If you feel lead to donate in this way, please ask for details!  In addition to that, we have our PayPal donation link on the right hand side of the blog that will come straight to us to use for this purpose.  

Thank you for reading through this list of requests.  Please get in touch with us if you would like to help!  Feel free to share with others who might be interested in helping as well!  Would you please pray with us that these needs are met and any anxiety over these needs will be replaced with peace and comfort that the Lord has already worked out the details?  Thank you friends!
