I wou...I wish I had money to give you, I really do. I wouldnt ask for it back. This is why we are moving to find better jobs so we can give more. I agree with the other poster if God didnt tell you to choose one then dont. Even if He did tell you to choose one, do it then it could be like Abraham. All God wanted was obedience. When we were adopting my husband would say the money will come in the exact amount we need and exactly when we need it. It was still scary going thru it and we did lose our child. She is still in Russia in a horrible orphanage deaf and blind and scared. It was very much like losing a child. We did lose a child. She was ours. We prayed for her, fundraised for her, loved her got updates on her for 5 months she was ours. It hurt. Bad. But one day God turned our mourning into dancing and gave us our son. We were meant to adopt we just went in the wrong direction. But I believe we were meant to know that baby in Russia. No one knows what our prayers have done and continue to do for her. I will pray for you for the money to come. I really want to see both these boys at home with their family. <br /><br />Be blessed<br />Ashlee<br />http://ourjourneytoadoption.beckfamily143.com/Linneahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333442830705285496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582950757494275605.post-30987736280168826972011-03-10T22:45:46.305-06:002011-03-10T22:45:46.305-06:00IF GOD isn't telling you "let it go"...IF GOD isn't telling you "let it go" then you stay the course and continue on in faith. God used the I*R*S to help finish funding our first donation. We are working to fund this one, but knowing the final funding is going to have to come from GOD. We can't raise $15,000 in 5 weeks by ourselves. But God can.Hope Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886501298076452981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582950757494275605.post-26879706898700397392011-03-10T22:35:37.424-06:002011-03-10T22:35:37.424-06:00We do have some applications out there for grants ...We do have some applications out there for grants and loans, we are going through an advocacy group instead of an adoption agency, which disqualifies us for many of the grants and loans out there. Our first yard sale raised $1500, pretty sweet of the Lord. All of the money for the boys has come in just as we needed it. Through prayer, we have not had a call to release one of the boys but to wait it out for a few days. I have been wondering if this is a door closing or a test of faith....<br /><br />all this while remembering that if it was a small amount, then what Glory would it bring to God? With such a large amount, only God can send the right person to help these boys....and for that, I praise Him!joelsworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17642918002657374599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582950757494275605.post-44850540055522505652011-03-10T22:14:44.268-06:002011-03-10T22:14:44.268-06:00Joel,
Try http://www.christianfamilyadoptions.org...Joel,<br /><br />Try http://www.christianfamilyadoptions.org/financing.php I know that grants don't happen until after you get home, but maybe a bank will help you out if they know the money is coming.<br /><br />Also, could you hold a garage sale? We asked for donations for the sale. We raised over $6,000 between 2 garage sales...never selling any of our own things. Everything was donated.<br /><br />We were a company's charitable donation for the year. Could you contact some Christian companies to see if they could do the same for you?<br /><br />I will be praying for you guys. We sought info on your Caleb. He already had a family, but that family fell through. He was waiting for you! But, he holds a special place in my heart.<br /><br />EmilyEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05399524725491592224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3582950757494275605.post-68133211187744108972011-03-10T22:11:23.551-06:002011-03-10T22:11:23.551-06:00Hi there, You don't know me, but someone forw...Hi there, You don't know me, but someone forwarded me your blog on Facebook. I am praying that you are able to get all of your funds to bring these precious boys home! In the meantime, have you considered checking into the following lists of agencies that seem to offer financial help for families trying to adopt? Here's two links: <br />http://www.ehow.com/list_6597167_adoption-grants-christian-families.html<br /><br />and <br /><br />http://www.christianfamilyadoptions.org/financing.php<br /><br />If I were adopting, I'd be checking into every one of these to see if they would help fund -- even if it meant sitting at the computer doing paperwork for the next MONTH. :)<br /><br />But seriously, I do pray that the Lord brings all the funds together soon.Damianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814839670994121679noreply@blogger.com
