Approved...and "Officially" Waiting!!!

Praise the Lord! Our home study has been approved and we are now officially a "waiting family". That means that we are now ready to put together our profile book (basically a Shutterfly book with photos and information about us) and our online profile. This will be used to introduce us to expectant parents for consideration. When we were first presented with the idea of a profile, it was a little discomforting as we thought about showing personal photos of us to complete strangers. We also felt a little pressured by the concern that we may not show the "right" pictures, or that we may not "sell" ourselves well. But we were reminded that God, who created the universe (and who was able to bring the two of us together from opposite ends of the country), is in control and can certainly orchestrate in this situation to unite us with the baby He wants us to love. Please continue to pray with us for patience and faith as we wait upon Him.

Premier Design Jewelry Fundraiser

Something else VERY EXCITING is coming up that we are thrilled to tell you about!!! In a couple weeks, a wonderful friend of ours is very graciously hosting a Premier Jewelry party in which proceeds will be donated to our adoption. We are so thankful! We would love it if you would be interested in participating. You can browse the catalog at charitydunn.mypremierdesigns.com and then email the host at the email address listed on her home page. There is even a special going on where you can get one item up for $10 that is worth up to $50, if you spend $75. If you'd like more information, feel free to visit the Facebook event page. The show will take place on October 10th, so start shopping! And hey, remember Christmas is right around the corner :)

Thank you again for all your support through prayer and through your donations!!! And thank you for taking time to read our little blog.
