Adoption Update

Hello friends and family!  We wanted to write an updated for you regarding our adoption journey!  We have now been in the adoption process for over one year.  It has been challenging- but in the last month we have been met with an incredible amount of support and have been greatly encouraged!  The Facebook Adoption Auction raised just over $1,800!!! In addition, we have been completely humbled by so many donations through the pure charity site and direct donations!  We are now over 50% to our required amount to move forward and be matched with a child!!! With just 13 days left for the Pure Charity fundraiser, we are down to the wire.  We also continue to work hard and pour every cent we can into the call of adoption.



Still, we have a peace that passes understanding. Time and time again, we have experienced doors that were closed, open wide.  God continues to make His call over our lives abundant and we are grateful for your prayers, your friendship and your support.  If you haven't already, please feel free to click on the Pure Charity link on the right, read more of our story and pray for our adoption.  And even more so, pray for orphans in general. There are over 143 million orphans worldwide with 120,000+ of those on US soil.  Our hearts have continued to grow over the months for our child specifically, but also, for the overarching global need for people to rise up, pray for, and care for these children.  Beyond this adoption, we hope to make it our lifelong mission to help advocate for and support orphaned children.

Thank you again for your continued prayers. There really are no words to express our gratitude. Please continue to pray for endurance & trust in this long, wearing process.  Please pray for God to make a way to the child He has for us, as only He can. Please for our child- that they are safe, growing, and well. While we don't know them yet, there is a great need and once we have the final funds, we are likely to get matched in just a matter of weeks!  This excites us to no end!

Waiting and Resting in Him,

Jeremy & Kate
