Jubilee's Jewels Fundraiser

Stacy Richards at Jubilee's Jewels has graciously offered to assist us with a jewelry fundraiser.   I had input into the design of the bracelet.  One charm reads "grace" as that will be our new daughter's middle name.  Grace means "favor" and "blessing". The other charm will be a cross stamped with "John 14:18".  This verse reads "I will not leave you orphan, I will come for you".  This verse has much meaning in our lives.  God placed sign after sign in front of us leading us to adopt again.  One Saturday night into Sunday morning I had insomnia and I prayed off and on the entire night asking God for a sign that this was the correct path for us.  After this night of prayer the first Bible verse I saw was John 14:18.  This was God's sign to me.  After that we had no doubt.  This is the link for those wishing to order - http://jubileesjewels.com/grace-john-14-18-bracelet .

I can't wait to go and get my new little sister.

Ordinary Hero Store - another fundraiser

We have been given the opportunity to be an affiliate for the Ordinary Hero Store which supports orphans worldwide.  We receive profit from each item sold.  The profit is sent directly to our agency.  At the time of checkout you will be given a drop down tool.  Chose my name Angela Campbell for us to receive the profit.  Thanks friends! We are getting there step by step.

Update on Miss Maya Grace!

We received an update on Maya Grace this week!  We were thrilled to see a new photo of her and hear that she is doing well and thriving.  She seems to be receiving good care.  I was very sad to see that she has had an "orphanage" hair cut.  She is in Southern China where is it very humid and hot in the summer so it probably feels really good to her.  There will definitely been some stretchy head bands with bows in our luggage.  She is reported to be 15 kg (33 pounds) and 85 cm tall (33 inches).  She is definitely not underweight as is the case of most institutionalized children.  I am guessing the weight is off because that would put her in the 90th percentile for weight and under the 10th percentile for height.  She is speaking and her speech is reported as being clear.  Enunciation is often an issue with cleft affected children.  She is outgoing and like dance and music!  We can not wait to get her home.  Praying the process goes very quickly! We have had enough obstacles in the beginning.  Time for a smooth path now!

Our matching grant has been met!! We are grateful from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Matching $200 Grant

I am blown away today! I have just had a dear sweet friend offer to do a matching grant for us up to $200.  She said God placed it on her heart this morning.  She and her family have been raising funds themselves for their adoption for months.  This is such an awesome act of generosity from her!  It is truly an act of love toward our Maya Grace.  I am so touched by this offer.  So from now until 8am next Monday morning for we will accept donations into our chip-in and our Reece's Rainbow account.  Reece's Rainbow donations are tax deductible.  If you donate to Reece's Rainbow please message me or comment to let me know as we are not notified of specific amounts or who made the donation.  Chip-in does send notifications.  My sweet friend will match the donations up to $200!   I know her family will be blessed many times over for reaching out to us in this way!  This will help us with paying our next large agency fee.
