The status of our adoption is about the same as my last post. We are actively being presented to birth mothers by one of our agencies and still working on funds to show to the other agency. Last week we were able to attend two "training" classes provided by our home study agency to fulfill some of the requirements for the home study. The trainings were helpful and fun, and only made us more anxious to meet our little one and begin our journey as parents! Every time my phone rings I find myself hoping to see our agency's number pop up! Even though we're anxious as we wait, we are praying and continue to take comfort in knowing that God already knows our child and will bring him/her home in His perfect timing!
The past few weeks we have been staying busy with preparing for our fundraiser event on Thursday! I can't believe it's so soon but we are so excited! We have had help from our family, many friends, and businesses to be able to do this! Someone today said it has been like planning a wedding reception! It has definitely been a lot of work but we can't wait to see everyone and enjoy a fun night to support adoption! The food is going to be fabulous, music will be fun, lots of great company, and a bigger than expected silent auction! Just a reminder, the auction will be this Thursday, June 21st at June Morning (209 Ashland Ave, Richmond, KY). Everything will begin at 6pm! Anyone is welcome to come and you can also invite friends who may be interested in coming if you'd like! Please let us know if you have any questions. If you don't have our phone numbers you can see the event page on facebook for information and contact us there, leave a comment here on our blog, or email me at smk627@gmail.com.
Thank you again to our friends and family for continuing to support and help us during this process. So many friends and family have donated items for the auction and I could never explain how much this means to us. I also want to thank the many businesses who have donated merchandise or gift cards for our auction: Ace Hardware, Waco Animal Hospital, Kendrick Contracting, O'Charley's, Paradise Cove, Applebees, Chick-fil-A, Take It Personal, CiCi's Pizza, Purdy's Coffee, Kentucky Outfitters, First Gear, Olive Garden, Logan's, Soft Shoe, Fitness with Faith, Cato, Cinemark Movies, and Gibson Bay, Battlefield, and The Bull golf courses. Thank you!
Thank you for continuing to pray for us during this time. Please pray for our event; that ultimately God will be glorified as others give, and that people will come to see and understand adoption as a beautiful picture of the gospel and our salvation in Christ! Also, please continue to pray with us for our child, whoever and wherever he/she may be right now, we love them already! Pray for his/her birth mother as she carries him/her now, pray that she is being taking care of and is taking good care of our child until we can hold them in our arms! THANK YOU!
