Dear Family & Friends,

We are excited to announce that our adoption continues to progress day by day and we are close to having our dossier complete! Once the dossier is complete, we will be able to send it off to China for their review and acceptance!  Each day is one day closer to bringing Eli home forever!

We are confident that as we walk with God through this journey, He is guiding us every step of the way! We are extremely grateful for all of the support and love that we have felt from our family and friends.  As we continue on this path we are asking you to prayerfully consider the following:

1. Please pray for Eli in China and for continued strength and stamina for us as we prepare our home and family for our new addition!

2. Please consider giving towards our adoption costs! International adoption (specifically China) is a very expensive process. The total cost of adoption will be well over $25,000. To aid in the process, we have created a donation puzzle!

3. Please share this information with someone who may be interested in joining us on this journey. While many have not been called to adopt themselves, we believe that some may wish to offer spiritual support or perhaps donate toward helping to bring Eli home to his forever family. 

Here’s how it works:

• We have designed a beautiful 1,000 piece puzzle

• Each piece can be purchased for a $25 donation

• You can buy one or many puzzle pieces

• Your name and personalized message (optional) will be written on the pieces you purchase scaled to size

• Once completed, we will frame the puzzle and hang it in Eli’s room. This will be a wonderful keepsake to see all the people who loved little Eli before he even came home!

How to donate:

• Click on the Donate button below and pay securely through PayPal

• Write a check or donate cash and hand deliver or mail to Mike or Kelli Stewart (email us at kelli.stewart95@gmail.com for our address)

• If you are interested in a tax-deductible donation, email us and we will provide a link on how to set one up

***Any funds we raise above and beyond our final adoption costs, as they could vary significantly, will be saved for Eli's future heart surgery and donations to the orphanage!***

Thank you all for your continued encouragement and genuine excitement for our family! We feel so blessed by all of the love and support that we have been given throughout this process!
