As many of you know, we started the adoption process at the end of January 2010. In May of 2010, we learned that Ethiopia was beginning to require that adoptive parents be present at the court date in Ethiopia. This surprise “second trip” added an additional $5,000 to our adoption expenses that we had not budgeted for at the beginning of the process. While it is difficult for us to ask for financial support from our friends and family, we greatly appreciate your support during our time of need and have faith that God will provide.
Our fundraising goal is $5,000. We will update our goal indicator as often as we can. Below are some opportunities for you to help support us and our travels to bring Malia Grace home!
To date we have raised $6,885.00. THANK YOU!

Our adoption journey would not be possible without the ongoing support and love from friends and family. A special thanks to Cliff Butner with Design Inspiration for donating his time and talents to design our shirts and puzzle as well as Jason Bexell and Jason "Dude" Dunn with Chickenmoose for donating their time and talents to screen print our shirts. Without their support, our fundraising opportunities would not be successful!
