Friends helping friends

I have been so blessed to meet some wonderful ladies on our journey to Simon.

They have

held me up,

carried me along,

prayed for us when things were falling apart,

counseled me,

and told me what to do when I was lost in the world of adoption limbo.

They. kept. me. sane.

Mostly.

They have done all this while dealing with their own struggles on their own adoption journeys.

We're all in the same boat right now, wondering what just happened to the costs of traveling to China to pick up our babies. For whatever the reason it seems that costs have increased in many areas and we are all coming up short, but trusting that God's hand is still working even now.

There are lots of great last minute fundraisers going on.
Here is a list. Get shopping.
