Where are we now?

As I posted below we have our paperwork completed now, but we need to come up with the money for our mid way payment.  Many people ask the question "How much does the adoption cost?"  It is about $25,000 to adopt from Ethiopia.    We have already paid about $5,000.  We need about $8,000 to send in our dossier.  I have always said through this whole process that I have no idea where all this money will come from but I do know that I serve an awesome God and He will provide.  We have already had several donations and many more people ask how they can help.  We are selling t-shirts to help raise money.  We are asking for a minimal donation of $20 (look to your right for t-shirt info).  If you would like to make any other donations please contact us at adopted1@live.com.  God has also blessed us with talents that we would like to use for our adoption.  So if you need your computer fixed I know the perfect repair man or if you would like to order a cake I know the perfect baker.  Please email us with any requests or questions.  Jimmy and I have already been overwelmed with the support God has given us, especially from people we don't even know. He continues to bless us more than we can image which makes me excited for what the future holds.  Jimmy and I are very aware and sensitive to the fact that we are in a recession, so we only want those to give who are able to and feel led by God.  More important and powerful than any of the money is prayer.  We are asking for all the prayers we can get through this whole process.
