ADOPTION: GOD'S HEART, OUR HEART

From the earliest days of our marriage (and for Kristina, ever since she can remember!) we have always wanted to pursue adoption. Now nearly nine years and three of our own children later, we are feeling God tugging on our hearts more than ever to adopt a little one into our family. Ephesians 1 tells us that even before God made the world, He loved us, chose us, and decided to adopt us into His own family through Jesus Christ, because this gave Him great pleasure. We feel this. And by the grace of God, we want to demonstrate that same life-altering love that we have received. 

HOW YOU CAN HELP

So we've started a fundraiser on PureCharity. It allows friends, fam, and even those we've never crossed paths with to give tax-deductible gifts to help us make our adoption dream a reality. We have a donations goal of $11,000 (the total cost will be $35-40k). Every dollar goes directly to our agency towards the cost of giving a child a mama, daddy, a big sister and two big brothers. They'll get a family. 

Here's three big ways you could help us out:

• 1) Give a completely tax deductible gift towards our adoption, from your family or your business. You might be able to give anywhere from $50 to $250...$1000 or $5000! But we want you to know we are extremely grateful for every single dollar - it all helps make a huge difference! Would you consider giving?
• 2) Pray with us for a smooth and speedy process, and for Jesus to give us the grace to navigate every obstacle that lies ahead of us on this adventure.
• 3) Share what we are doing with other people and businesses you know! Even something as simple as posting a link (www.purecharity.com/ramseyadoption) on your Facebook or Twitter can help spread the word and would be a huge blessing to us!
