DTC for Ian 10/17/14

Yayyeee!  After the long paper journey, which we thought would never end, we are finally DTC for Ian.  DTC means  . . . Dossier to China!.  As we still have a little bit of a wait to go, we should travel sometime the first of the year.  Adoption isn't easy!  There are soooo many obstacles. And one of the biggest obstacles is the financial piece.  We have been so blessed to have received a $3000 matching grant from Lifesong for Orphans.  To help support our grant, we are selling origami note cards that our daughter, Faith makes.  Those are in the previous post.  And we'll be adding more a little later, including some Christmas ones.  If you'd like to help us meet our $3000 goal either by purchasing one of the card sets or making a donation,  here's how you can help.  Leave a comment if you'd like to purchase a card set or if you'd rather make a donation you can do so by check or our Lifesong paypal link.

Checks can be made payable to Lifesong for Orphans.  In the memo, note family name and family account number #4765 to insure it goes to the correct account.   Please mail to "Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 40, Gridley, IL 61744.  100% of the donation will go directly to our adoption.  To donate online, you can click the "donate" button to the right, under "Ian's Lifesong Account" which will take you straight to our paypal link with Lifesong.  The account number will show there as well, #4765. 

This little guy has had a rough start to life.  We are so blessed to be his parents and can not wait to
get him home.  Waiting isn't easy, but we know God's got this!  Precious boy, oh how you are already loved.

Lifesong matching grant

FINALLY,  we are DTC.  Our documents left for China Friday, October 17th.  Yippee!  We are
so excited.  We are getting ever so much closer to bringing Ian Michael home.  Hoping to receive an update on him any day.

In the meantime, we have been so blessed to have received a $3000 matching grant from Lifesong for Orphans.  This means they will match up to $3000 of funds that are raised or donated on our behalf. 
We still need $2800 and have several items to list to sell to help us along the way.  As you can see to the right, our daughter Faith, who was adopted in 2012 at the age of 12 loves to make origami cards.  She has made several so far and we have been trying to come up with some new designs (which are almost complete) for the holidays.   We also have some jewelry that we'll list as well.  If you are interested in either the cards or jewelry, please leave a comment with your e-mail address and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.  We appreciate everyone who has helped us along our journey to help bring Ian home.  I was able to add a "donate" button to the right (Ian's Lifesong account), which takes you straight to our Lifesong paypal account.    I've listed two pictures of each card set below.  One shows all the cards included, and the other shows how they are packaged.  Also, each item is numbered.  Please include the number of the item in your comment.  Thank you so very much!!
