God calls us all...

God calls us ALL to help orphans. He does not call us all to adopt; but he DOES command us all to care for the orphans in the world.
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice."Proverbs 31:8-9
"Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows." Isaiah 1:17
We would be thrilled if you felt led to support our cause financially. After emptying Jason's retirement account, having a very successful yard sale, and receiving just four donations, we still have approximately $10,000 to $15,000 to come up with to bring Baby Girl Humphrey home.
SO - I am going to make it worth your while! I am still scheduling photo shoots for Oct., Nov, and December. This would be great for a fall family portrait, Christmas card photo, whatever you want! For a donation of $80 I will do a sitting for you and your family. I will burn the images to a cd for you to own all the rights to. Schedule now!
My sweet sister is also donating some of her awesome stuff for me to raffle off with all proceeds going to our adoption. More details on that coming soon - stay tuned! You can check out her gorgeous paintings at www.paintingtheword.com
Okay....last thing is an update on our process. We had our last meeting with our social worker for the homestudy this week. It went really well, and now we just wait a week or two for her official report. Our TBI and FBI fingerprinting will be done next week. Once all these things are done, we can start sending off our paperwork to all the places it has to go. My goal is to get the paperwork to Ethiopia by the end of the year. With as smooth as things are going now, it is possible!!!
Thank you for all of your kind emails and prayers. We really appreciate them all!
