One of
the main reasons people don't adopt, is one of my dislikes about
adoption.....finances!!! This is a very sensitive subject for many. While we
have always been a family who have given of our time, finances and resources,
we have always believe that God would take care of our every NEED. I know that
some will say, why are you doing this when it cost so much and on and on. But
when you feel this tug and calling in your heart, you can't just turn the other
way or turn a deaf ear to the HEART of the FATHER. While we know that adoption
isn't the road everyone will take, you can still be apart of taken care of the
orphans by helping someone through their adoption or sponsoring a child. There
are many legit organizations are here that are truly making sure funds donated
are taking care of many children.
Since
starting the blog, we have only said...pray for our provision of
finances. We know that God has called us to this Narrow road to follow and
therefore we believe that He will provide the finances. The Word of God tells
us "that we have not because we ask not." Since beginning our
journey, we have been financing our adoption through our savings and my hair
business. We have also done one fundraiser and hoping to start our T-shirt
sales in February. Now that things are moving...and moving fast, money is going
fast. We would love for you to partner with us to help us bring our son home.
What our financial needs are now:
• $9000 - Rest of agency and country
program fees
• $150 (we will be paying this monthly to
take care of our son until we bring him home)
• $2134 - Upcoming Flights to Ghana to
meet our little boy.
• $280 (estimate) - Hotel while in Ghana
This
is our most current financial needs. We are also in the process of applying for
2 grants and praying God's favor.
If you
would like to partner with, you can donate through adopttogether.org/thepetways.
Also if you know of any other adoption resources, please feel free to pass this
information on to us.
I
will leave you with this verse: "God decided in advance to adopt us into
his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he
wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the
glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He
is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood
of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along
with all wisdom and understanding. Eph 1:5-8
Until next
time....
