International adoption is expensive, but God has always seemed to place impossible tasks in front of us. I'm pretty sure it's because we tend to attempt to be self-sufficient and He wants us to recognize He is all-sufficient. Bringing our child home from Bulgaria is a God-sized task. It will require more teammates than just our family of four! We humbly ask you to consider joining us in bringing our child home. There are many ways you can partner with us as we seek to give our child a forever family!
Pray! Pray! Pray! Obviously, money is necessary for an international adoption, but money isn't the most important part of the process. Every step we take on our journey to Bulgaria must be covered in prayer. Prayer for our child who is out there alone, waiting. Prayer for us as we navigate through a stressful 2-3 year process. Prayer that God blesses our obedience and provides for our emotional, spiritual and financial needs!
Donate. Here is a link to our new profile with AdoptTogether, a fundraising website where you can make a tax-deductible donation to our adoption fund. There is also a feature on our blog's home page that links to our AdoptTogether profile.
Donate miles. If you fly American Airlines or US Airways, you can donate your miles to us so we can fly to Bulgaria! You can also purchase miles. Here is the link to our US Airways mileage registry. If you would like to donate American Airlines miles, just contact Kevin at kevinalayne@gmail.com to get the info you need.
Gobena Coffee. Do you like coffee? Order here and support our adoption. We receive $4 from each bag and because Gobena is part of our matching grant, that $4 turns into $8. Enjoy some great coffee with free shipping and siupport a worthy cause!
"Hope" Bracelets. Buy a bracelet for yourself, a friend or family member. These bracelets remind people of the hope adoption brings to children all over the world and in our case, to a specific child... Hope for a "forever family." The bracelets remind us of the hope we have in Christ as He lovingly adopts us into His family! The bracelets are $15 if you are local to Lake Wylie, SC and can pick them up, or $20 if you would like us to ship one to you. If you prefer a specific color band just email me and let me know. If you need a bracelet shipped to you or as a gift, just email me the shipping address at iloveredhair@gmail.com We have raised over $1000 through this fundraiser and have just a few left!
Sponsor a puzzle piece. ***UPDATE*** This fundraiser is complete! We are so thankful to all who sponsored pieces! I'm leaving the details below for those who might be interested in doing this fundraiser themselves! Below are pictures of the finished product! The links mentioned have been removed, but if you would like to donate please see our AdoptTogether link!
We are selling puzzle pieces for $10 each. You can sponsor one on our blog home page, mail us a check or give us money in person. Look for the PayPal button on our blog that says "Donate" labeled Lifesong for Orphans Matching Grant and Puzzle Pieces. We will write your name on the back of the puzzle piece. If you are near Lake Wylie, you can write it on there yourself! When all the puzzle pieces have been sponsored we will work the puzzle and put it in a clear frame. We will hang it in our child's room to show him or her how many people loved them and gave generously to bring them home from Bulgaria! Don't forget, there are multiple ways to sponsor a puzzle piece. Please email us at iloveredhair@gmail.com to let us know what name you would like on your puzzle piece if you used the "Buy now" button on our blog home page. Here is a picture of the puzzle! We are going to put a little heart sticker on South Carolina and a little heart sticker on Bulgaria!
