Auction Update!

Wow, wow, wow!  We have witnessed so much generosity thus far from those who have donated items to our Facebook Adoption Auction coming up November 14-17!

We have 43 totally awesome confirmed items, which is half way to our goal of 100 items!!!  We continue to follow up and reach out to new people each day.

We have run into one obstacle.  We originally hoped about half of our auction items would come from our networks and the other half would come from local businesses.  Unfortuatenly, 90% of the businesses we have reached out to have already met their donation maximum for 2016.  We did not anticipate that!

However, we continue to hold fast to our goal of 100 items to raise $10,000 for our adoption, but we need some help!  Here are the two main way you can help right now:

- Consider donating an item!  Perhaps you have an idea of your own.  If not, we can give you idea for any price range! The item can either be mailed or delivered locally (wherever you live!).
- Reach out to your network for donations; we had a dear friend do that this week and she rounded up a weekend cabin stay and a piece of artwork custom made by a professional artist!  Click here for a flyer you can share!

Thanks for sharing this adventure with us.  It will be two years on December 29 since we started this journey (although we took March-September completely off from fundraising this year).  When my faith wavers, God sends the sweetest reminders of his sovereignty in this journey.  Of course I pray we will have a baby in our home sometime in 2017; I am not sure how many more days I can tell look at James' big brown eyes and tell him that "we are working on it".  I should really start saying "God is working on it".  He has started making up imaginary siblings...  That kid LOVES babies!
