at our fundraising thermometer over on the right. In the past week, some kind friends donated Delta Sky Miles enough for one ticket ($1000+ value) and Marriott points for two nights ($200+ value.)
And to add the sweet icing to the cake, yesterday, some other good friends took a walk to our house before church and brought us a $500 check.
It never ceases to amaze us what extraordinary friends we have.
The combination of these two donations brought us exactly to our $13,000 fund-raising goal.
I feel like our Father is up there saying, "Thank you. And just so you remember that I'm still here and that I'll be right there with you the rest of the way...here you go."
We will still have $8,000 on a home equity loan, but thanks to the Adoption Tax Credit, that will all be paid off early next year.
God is so kind and good to us.
Great news!

ReplyDeleteGreat news! We did a home equity loan as well. The adoption tax credit will help that. Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteJust jumping on to let you know I am covering you with prayer as you set out!!! I know God is already THERE - He's been preparing the way for long before you began and He is going to see you through to the end! This is totally HIS work - from beginning to end.
ReplyDeleteHeather, how blessed I feel that I've somehow found my way to your blog. Actually I've been lost in it for hours with tears streaming down my face for a huge part of my night. I am so excited to follow your journey home with your beautiful girl! My husband and I are in the extreme early stages of bringing our baby girl (Xenia) home. We just received her packet and it totally depressed me and almost made me want to give up. Like you, we have 5 children, although backwards 4 girls and 1 boy. Our baby girl 7 month old Chloe was born rocking her extra Chromosome!
