UPDATE:
Unfortuntely we were unable to adopt the child we had be funding for, praying for, and eagerly expecting. A variety of circumstances kept the adoption from working out for us. Thankfully, we are still looking forward to the day that God will provide us with a child via adoption. The funds raised so far are not lost and will be applied to our future adoption. Please continue to keep us in your prayers and thoughts as we continue our adoption journey.
BTW: We are still fundraising by "selling" puzzle pieces and canvas squares. Our timeline has just extended. :)
The Stuart's (6/15/14)
Cheryl and I have the joy and privilege of adopting. We have always desired to bring a child into our home via adoption but we need your help. The cost of the entire adoption is $20,000. The cost covers the birth mother's medical expenses, housing needs, living expenses such as clothes and food, as well as counseling assistance. Other expenses includes court fees, parent training classes, and much more.
The child that we hope to adopt will be born in approximately 40 days. When we first went through the application process at Bethany Christian Services, we thought it would be a year or more until we had this opportunity. We are excited but unprepared financially because of how quickly this opportunity arose.
We have some creative solutions to help us with our adoption. We have purchased a puzzle that is 1000 pieces. If you donate $5 dollars, we will put your name on one of the pieces. The theme of the nursery will be revealed via the picture on the puzzle when it is completed. We have also purchased a canvas that will have 520 available squares. If you donate $20, you can choose the color of the square that we will paint. When the canvas is finished we will create a plaque with the names of those who donated. Both of these items will be placed in the nursery of our child. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated.
We are placing our trust in God's plan for our family and His ability to provide for all of our needs.
