issued. Our paperwork will now be forwarded to Beijing where we will now wait for<br />
our Travel Approval!! This has been taking anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks. Hang<br />

We still have our fundraiser going on and the items listed in the below post are still available to purchase. You can leave a comment with you e-mail and the items you are interested in and I'll get back with you asap. We also still have lots of origami cards available and will custom make swans, cats, dogs, dresses, and hearts. Our Reece's Rainbow account to the right needs to read $7000 for us to be fully funded. We're almost there as we just need under $2800 to be fully funded. If you'd like to make a donation to help us with these final adoption costs, you can click on the Reece's Rainbow link to the right (donate) which will take you to our fsp (paypal account) that's with Reece's Rainbow. You can also request a tax receipt. <br />
<br />
It's getting real and I'm getting nervous. Please pray that our little guy's heart is being prepared for us. Oh how I remember when we first saw Jacob at the age of 3. He was not happy!!! Oh the healing these little one's have to go through. And this sweet little guy has been in his foster family for quite some time. We were able to send some pictures of us to him and we sure hope he has seen us and knows we are his family.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned . . . we are counting down to TA!<br />

<br />
We are still waiting on our Article 5. Hoping it's picked up this week so we can then be on the final step, our long awaited Travel Approval which is taking about 2 weeks. We are still fundraising to bring our little guy home and still have the items available below. If you'd like to make a donation, our Reeces Rainbow FSP link is to the right. It needs to read $7,000 to be fully funded. Ian's adoption is a step of faith for us. His need is something unimaginable. I can't wrap my hands around what he's been through yet. I'm getting there. But I still get tears just thinking about the pain and suffering he endured with the accident. He has a long way to go but we have the resources to get him the medical attention he needs. However, we lack the funding. We've been so blessed to have received grants that have helped immensely, but we're still short $4,000. If you feel led to make a donation, you can do so through the Reeces Rainbow link to the right. We are so excited to be counting down to travel. And can't wait to wrap our arms around our sweet little guy.<br />
<br />
<br />
We received our I-800 approval. We were approved on 1/15. Yayyeeee!!! We are now just waiting on our Article 5 and then Travel Approval. We still have a way to go with adoption expenses. <br />
<br />
We've been busy creating new items to help to bring Ian home. We'll be adding more items through out the weekend as well; card sets, art work. We're getting so excited to bring our little man home. It's been a long journey. And we're getting so close . . . Yahooo! <br />
<br />
These make great gifts too: birthday, teacher, end of the school year, valentine, Mother's Day, etc. If you are interested in any of the items below, please leave a comment with your e-mail and I'll get back to you asap to ensure it's still available. Please state a brief description and the item number as well. All jewelry is $16.50 each which includes shipping. Payment can be made through our Lifesong Account to the right or through our regular paypal account which is also to the right.<br />

It looks like he likes to play UNO. We will definitely be taking an UNO deck with us to China.<br />
Along with some cars, books, and other little toys we've stashed into his backpack. <br />
Praying that our sweet boy is being prepared for the upcoming transition and that God will<br />
prepare his heart. The wait is the hardest . . . <br />

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31<br />

We're out of translation "oot" which means all of our documents have been <br />
translated. The next step is under review. And then we will receive our "letter of approval".<br />
There are several steps beyond that but we'll try to wait patiently for our loa and then look at the next<br />
steps. Getting so excited here to finally meet our little guy. <br />

We have been so blessed to have received a $3000 matching grant from Lifesong for Orphans. We are currently at a little over $700 which includes the funds from the auction we just held. To help support our grant, we are selling origami note cards that our daughter, Faith makes. 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.</div>
<br />
Checks can be made payable to Lifesong for Orphans. In the memo, note family name and family account number #4765, Vantrease to ensure 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. <br />
<br />
Our card's come in a set of 8 with envelopes and are $13.75 which includes shipping. These make great little gifts for teachers too. Each card is signed with Faith's Chinese character. Any pet lover would love Faith's cat and dog set of notecards. Each pet set contains 4 cats and 4 dogs and varies by the color of card stripe/dot and the color of the origami.<br />
<br />
The dress origami set at the bottoms contains 8 mixed patterns/colors of dresses on different colors of card stock. Again this set is an example and all sets vary. Each set comes with 8 white envelopes. The notecards are blank inside. <br />

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.<br />

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

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

Each piece is made with care and they all have such an amazing message. I have this piece and wear it all the time. It touches my heart as I think of all the orphans who desperately want a family.<br />

Almost DTCWhat a roller coaster of emotions as we wait for our final approval before sending "all" our<br />
documents to China where we will then be logged in the database and just wait for our approval. Whewwww!! Our biggest struggle has been fingerprinting as we've had to redo, redo, and redo.<br />
I'm just holding my breath that we don't have to redo the USCIS prints. Tomorrow will be a week<br />
since mom and I were printed. I've tried to ignore the mailbox and dread opening the door. Praying the prints go through just fine. God's got this, I just tend to get a little impatient. <br />
<br />
As we wait we have been very blessed to have received some updated pictures of Ian. Each picture shows his sweet little personality. What a cutie!!! Here's a couple of the new one's:<br />

For those who don't know his story, our sweet little guy was burned as a baby suffering severe burn injuries over his head, face, hand, and legs. My heart just breaks for him. I can not even imagine what he went through as a baby. He's already had several surgeries and he has a long way to go. We'll be right there with him. We would appreciate prayers for him for his journey ahead, not only with his medical needs, but also with the transition of a new family. It's hard on these kids being taken out of their comfort zone and into an unknown place far, far away never seeing the family they have come to know and all the familiarities. They are so resilient. We can't wait to get on the plane to bring him home. But we'll try to wait patiently on God's perfect timing. </div>

Our home study should be making it's way to our agency tomorrow. Hoping and praying we will get a quick turnaround and then it will make it's way to USCIS where we will apply for our I-800A. Getting ever so much closer to bringing Ian Michael home (aka Keegan/Kevin). </strong></em><br />
<em><strong> We have new designs in our cards which I'll add to this post. The polka dot/chevron stripe cards come in a bundle of 8 or 10. A bundle of 8 is only $13.75 and a bundle of 10 is $15.75. The bundle of 8 includes; 2 swan, 2 butterflies, 2 cats, 2 dogs. The bundle of 10 includes 2 swans, 2 butterflies, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 hearts. We started out with the bundle of 8 and then Faith, out of the blue, just made the heart. So we decides to add it. We can also do</strong></em><br />
<strong><em>custom orders (ie. 8 hearts, 8 swans, etc.). Just let us know. The bracelets listed below that do not have "SOLD" underneath their caption are still available as well. And then the solid cards listed at the bottom of the post are still available too. These "endeavors from the heart" make great gifts. And they also make great "thank you" cards too. All cards are blank inside. The new cards are added at the bottom of the post. </em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<em><strong> As we are getting closer to finishing our home study, we have fees that must be paid. Not only to our home study agency, but will also need fees for filing our I-800A. So we are continuing our</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>Endeavors From the Heart frenzy's. All the items we're listing in this post were made by us with lots of love to help bring the newest member of our family home, Ian Michael. For those who have </strong></em><br />
<em><strong>purchased from our previous frenzy's we can not thank you enough and appreciate it so very much. </strong></em><br />
<em><strong> </strong></em><br />
<em><strong> I'm posting these items a little differently, all in one post (instead of separate posts). If you are interested in one of the items, please comment with your e-mail and description of the item/#. I will then e-mail the first person to comment and post that the item is "SOLD". If you don't hear from me, then you'll know someone else posted first. I generally check posts 2 to 3 times daily, however, it may take me a few hours as I work most days. So I may not get to check until later at night. So please bare with me. Once I notify you, payment can then be made through our "donate" button to </strong></em><strong><em>the right which takes you directly to paypal. </em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
<em><strong></strong></em><br />
<em><strong> All the bracelets listed are made with assorted beads including glass, silver color accent beads, and </strong></em><em><strong>acrylic beads. These are so cute. I was able to find some different glass beads including the</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>"Bumble Bee" glass bead on the bracelet listed below. All are on a stretchy band and the lengths are listed below each picture. These are so cute layered. I layer mine with thinner bracelets and bangles. Not only are they cute, but they also start conversations. And it's wonderful to share that these were made with lots of love to bring a special little boy home who is now "one less" orphan. </strong></em><br />

<em> <strong> I'm posting several pictures of the cards that are included in this frenzy. They are bundled in a</strong></em><br />
<em><strong>set of 8 cards and include 2 butterfly's, 2 dresses, 2 swan, 2 lanterns and measure 6 1/4" X 4 1/2" There are several patterns of the origami paper as well as several colors of cards so no two cards should be exactly alike except for maybe the lanterns. Our daughter Faith loves creating origami projects and wanted to help so she folded and folded and folded these cute papers to come up with the dress, swan, and butterfly. And she did a great job. She also signed each one in the bottom right with her name, Faith, in character. </strong></em><br />
<em><strong> Each bundle will come to you with 8 cards, 8 envelopes, and tied with ribbon. These can be used for any occasion as they are blank inside. And I don't know about you, but I always need a card for a teacher, thank you, birthday, etc. So we hope you will consider purchasing one of our origami card bundles.</strong></em><br />
<em><strong> They are only $13.75 and that includes shipping. Please leave a comment with your e-mail and</strong></em><br />
<strong><em>I'll notify you. We currently have 10 sets available. </em></strong><br />

<em><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"> As we are almost finished with the homestudy process, the wait just gets harder. Little sweet Ian is waiting halfway around the world, yet he has no idea what's about to happen. No idea that his life is about to change, no idea that he will have a forever mamma, no idea that he will be gaining 3 sisters and a brother, no idea that he will be forever loved, and no idea that he will come to know the love of Jesus!!! Oh boy, are we ever excited. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;"> As adoption is expensive and we just returned with our daughter Faith in 2012, we are creating unique gifts to help with the adoption costs. And we currently have an Origami Owl fundraiser in progress thanks to Jacquelyn Long Smith! Orders placed by April 30th will be received in time for Mother's Day and there are so many cute gift ideas on the site. Here's the link </span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="Photo: Wondering what to get someone for Mother's Day, teacher appreciation or graduation? Origami Owl creations make great gifts! I am donating 100% of my commission to Anita to help her bring home Ian. Orders placed by the 30th will arrive in time for Mother's Day. Don't forget to get something special for yourself too!

We've been busy<br />
checking the check list for all that is needed for our home study, including all those medical check-ups. Those are completed, done, finished!! As is everything else on the list. Hoping and praying that our home study will be completed by the end of April and in our hands. <br />
<br />
As with Faith's adoption, we are stepping out in faith that the funds will come. That God will provide every penny needed to get our little guy home. I've tried to be patient and not over zealous. There are things that have been frustrating, like getting the e-mail that my prints were rejected. Nope it's not fun to have to re-schedule, take a short road trip, and redo the prints, but it's necessary. So we'll do it again!!! The patient WAIT was bugging me today. I needed to find scripture to help me with this hurdle. And I found it:<br />
<br />
"<em>But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint</em>". Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV)<br />

<em><span style="font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Update 3/14/2014</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Thanks you so much to everyone who purchased one of our bracelets in our first "Endeavours from the Heart" frenzy to help with adoption expenses!! We appreciate you so much! We sold 14 bracelets and we only had three left which I'll keep up on our blog a little longer. If you are interested in either of the three left, just leave an e-mail in the comments section. I won't publish the comment. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">We are working hard to get items ready for our second frenzy which we hope to have up next weekend (3/22/2014). So please check back. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">We are working hard to finish the paper chase for our home study and hope to be completely finished with that step of the process by the end of the month.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">As we are beginning our journey to bring Ian home (Keegan/Kevin) as some of you may already know him by, the kid's and I have set out on an endeavor to help with the adoption fees. We learned to be quite crafty making necklaces, artwork, bookmarks, etc. during the wait for Faith. And once again, we will be making more bracelets and hopefully other jewelry pieces to help us get our little guy home. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">"Endeavors from the Heart" will be the name of all our frenzy's with items that we have especially made. I'd like for them to be short, lasting only a few days in order to clear out what we've made and then hopefully we can quickly get new items listed and ready to go again. We have some great ideas for artwork and have been testing those out too. Oh they are so cute!!!</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">So here's how it will work: </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"> In our first "Endeavors from the Heart" frenzy, I have listed sixteen bracelets that are on a stretchy band.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"> All of them have different types of beads, including glass beads. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"> They all vary in length and those lengths are listed on each listing. </span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Each bracelet is only $16.50 which includes shipping.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">The first person to leave their name/e-mail in the comments section wins. I'll post the winner and give directions again on how to pay to make it clear on who won the item under each listing so it's clear.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">I have a "donate" button to the right on my blog. As the winner, simply hit the donate button and it will direct you right to paypal. Once I receive payment, I will promptly mail your bracelet/bracelets. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">If you would like to purchase more than one bracelet, I will only charge $15 for each additional bracelet won. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">If you have questions, please leave those in the comments section as well with your e-mail. I will not publish your comments so only I should be able to see those. And I will let you know if you are the first person to leave your name for the particular bracelet you'd like to purchase.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Note* There are 16 listings, so hits "older posts" to see the rest of the bracelets.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"></span></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Thank you so much for stopping by. We appreciate your support and prayers for us during our journey to Ian.</span></em>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16223230001046814201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8257465295472685948.post-7208921325379562002014-02-17T18:41:00.001-08:002014-02-17T18:41:09.610-08:00Endeavor of Heart *3<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh I can't believe it. I knew in my heart that we would adopt again. I can't explain in, but I just knew. As an adoptee and an adoptive mom, I have a full heart for the orphan. Daily I look at the faces of the children that still wait, praying that they find a family. We talk about it openly here at home too. And the kid's pray along as well for some of the kid's. As I was reading about some of the children, there he was. If we were to adopt again, and let me just say, the number 5 is pretty scary, I'm not sure why, I thought it would be another daughter. But God has a different plan, to add another boy. Once, I saw our little guy I was hooked. There was just something about Kevin/Keegan that stole my heart. His need<br />
was severe, but very manageable. The fear, as with the previous three special needs adoptions, was present, but then there was also a "peace". So here we go again. Thank you to those who shared about your real life experiences with burn injuries. As scary as it seems and is, I know now that we can give this little guy the medical attention he will need as well as the resources. Oh boy are we ever excited to begin this journey and get him home!! His birthday is in July of 2009 and he will probably celebrate one more away from us before we can get him home. But we will celebrate here at home just like he's here with us. <br />

Although he was known as Kevin/Keegan as those were the names given to him while he waited, we've decided to name him Ian Michael. Oh how my heart broke just reading about the first few months of his life on this earth. Somehow, he was severely burned on the scalp, face, ear, legs, and then abandoned. I'm sure the medical resources needed was something the family couldn't commit to so a difficult decision had to be made. But this little guy is a survivor!!! Oh how he will grow and change and grow some more. He will have 3 big sisters and a big brother to help him along the way along with a mamma and baba who will love him like crazy too!!! <br />
<br />
We hope you will follow along. We would appreciate prayers for our journey before, during, and after we finally meet our little guy as well as prayers for God to prepare Ian's heart for his new family. We will also be doing some fundraising along the way and I've started thinking about what we can do to help with some of the adoption expenses. So stay tuned!!<br />

I had to change my e-mail server so not sure if that has something to do with it. Hence, the new blog! I hope you will follow us along our journey to our new son. I'll post updates of the family as well while we wait. Faith, now 14 yo, has been home 21 months and oh the progress our gal has made. I can not believe how far she has come in such a short time. Believing in her has made a world of difference. Her confidence has grown with leaps and bounds and she has learned to persevere (at least we're trying and get it). We've come along way from not wanting to get out of the bed in the morning in the summer of 2012 upon arriving home, especially when school started . . to getting up, making our bed, picking out our clothes, and ready for school. This gal is smart too!!! I can't believe she has missed so much within her education. But she is becoming resilient, I can see it, and I know she will continue to grow and learn at her own pace. And the best part is that she continues to learn about Jesus!! She is beginning to say the prayer before we eat, and she told me she wants to know more about God!! Praise God!!<br />
<br />
Many blessings,<br />
