I am so sorry for the lack of update on the blog...I did not mean to leave you waiting in suspense! Life has been incredibly busy for us this month. As the anticipation of bringing our little one home anytime now, the pressure to quickly raise the necessary funds has been looming. Our days have been full of sewing burp cloths, crafting Christmas ornaments, and preparing for Breakfast with Santa! And what a blessing each of those projects have been! In addition to bringing in money, they have brought lots of fun memories. For those of you interested in numbers (or maybe even looking for fundraising ideas of your own) here is a breakdown of what each project made us: burp cloths = $110 (with more hopefully to come!), ornament fundraiser = $464, Breakfast with Santa = $1,125. WOW! And here are a few pictures to recap the fun...
In the midst of all the fundraising, there have been several baby possibilities. None of them have been our perfect match yet. I plan to blog on that more later, when my heart is ready. Through each possibility, my heart has really broken for everyone involved. Each story has made me more aware that it isn't just a baby--it is a baby, their birthmom, their birthdad, and in many cases, lots of birth siblings. While I knew that in my head, my heart is feeling it in ways I hadn't anticipated. Will you pray for those families as you pray for our journey? Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas!
