Dave and I and our family have been blown away but the support that people have given to us in this adoption journey. We have currently been in this process for about a year and a half now. We still have probably a few years to go. Thank you… all of you who have given to help us bring our son home. To be honest, To be honest it’s very tough for us to ask for help and when you receive it, it’s the most humbling experience. Both Dave and I are somewhat private people and we don’t like to impose our private needs on other people’s lives. And yet we are also largely community people who believe in investing in the lives of others and inviting others invest in our lives.
With that said, many of you that are reading this blog are part of that community. Some are more intimately connected to that journey than others but all still helping us write our story with our lives. And so we want to let you know as authentically as possible that we could use your help. We know there is more than one way that you have and will contribute to this journey. Many of you have been such a huge encouragement already with your words. Many of you have been praying for us since we started this process. Already many of you have told us how you would like to help financially and now we feel we need to open that opportunity up to you. So from two indirect people this is our indirectly direct way of saying that honestly we could really use your financial help.
Again, this is not something that we want you to feel any pressure or obligation to do. We know that times economically are tight and even a little scary right now. We understand that every dollar is a precious decision of how it is best used. And we know that many of you have your own needs in the journey that God has called you to. However, this is simply one way that we are continuing to invite you in to our journey. So, Dave and I are very humbly asking if you would consider partnering with us financially in our journey to bring Frankie to be a part of our family. We estimate the total journey to be between $13-16,000.00. Because both of us work for Wayfarer, Wayfarer has generously allowed our family to set up an account through them so that anyone who wants to give to this journey will be able to receive a tax write off for your contribution.
