I am super excited to share with you guys our new fundraiser! Here's what's up:
We are finished with our education and our homestudy.
We are super super close to having our documents ready for our dossier.
But...we need $5,000 to send in with it.
We did need $5,800 to cover the USCIS (Citizenship & Immigration) application but guess what? God provided $800 last week and that's exactly the amount needed for USCIS!
So now we are in need of $5,000 and we need your help. We have sold everything not nailed down in our house (except for a glass coffee table that I keep meaning to put on Craigslist). After our homestudy is finished we will be able to apply for grants but the $5,000 must be sent in with our dossier in order to get our family on the waitlist! That is the goal. Once we are on the list, we just wait to get the referral for our sweet girl! This $5,000 enables us to be right in the place where God will lead our very daughter into our family!
So here is how you can help. This idea comes from another blogger that gave me permission to use her idea.
We purchased a 300 piece puzzle with a picture of a baby giraffe getting a big kiss from her momma giraffe. We are inviting you to "sponsor" a piece or however many you'd like for $17 (oops I'm bad at math..i should have said 17 instead of 16 to get to $5,000 and include the paypal fee) to be a part of bringing our daughter home! With each piece sponsored we'll permanently write your name on the back and put that piece of the puzzle in place. This puzzle will be a beautiful reminder of all of the people that helped bring her home. She will be able to look at it hanging in her room and see just how much she was loved before we even knew her name! She will see that God knew her name and had a wonderful plan for her!

We want to frame this puzzle in double-sided glass after it is complete so that we can see the WHOLE story and share it with her. We also love that Isabel gets to participate in this. She loves puzzles anyway but this one is going to be building FAITH and HOPE into our daughter that is so patiently waiting on her little sister. So, we will keep you all updated so you can see the progress of the puzzle.
So, there are two ways that you can give:
1. Through Paypal. Just click the little puzzle on the sidebar to go there!
2. By writing a check out to Reynolda Church with HUNT ADOPTION in the memo line. That info is also on the side to the right. If you give this way it is a tax-deductible donation. If you choose to do that, let us know by e-mail so you can be added to the puzzle too!
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well. -Psalm 139:14
