For those new to our blog, we are currently on the waiting list (3 MONTHS TODAY!!!) for a baby girl from Ethiopia. We have been told to expect an average wait time of 6-8 months before we receive a referral, but we could get THE CALL at any time. We will need to make two trips to Ethiopia before we can bring her home and so while we're waiting, we are raising the funds to make those two trips. Adoption can be very expensive but we know that our God is bigger than that...He has called us to this and we are trusting Him to provide.
God has given us the amazing opportunity to partner with the Dubois family for the entire month of October. They recently adopted a baby boy from Ethiopia and felt God calling them to help other families in the process of adoption. Each month, they are partnered with another adoptive family, and all of the proceeds from their t-shirt sales for that month go to the partner family. This month, THAT IS US and we could not be more thrilled or more thankful!!!
To check out their beautiful t-shirts, you can either go to their website www.goseeklove.com or you can click on the GO SEEK LOVE button on the right side of our blog ----->.
I would be happy to give you details on how to post this button on your blog as well.
When you go to the website, make their shirt picture larger to read the beautiful words in white that are across the big cross. They are as beautiful as the great design.
Our job is to get the word out about the t-shirt sales and we could not do that without your help!
Do you want to help us???
In an effort to encourage as much participation as possible, we have decided to make this FUN and have a FREE GIVEAWAY 4 Sundays in October. Okay, now that I have your attention (because I know the word FREE gets your attention :-), here is our first giveaway...

I'm so excited that you are doing this! I posted my blog last night, my cousin linked to your blog and I bought my t-shirt this morning. I hope that you guys get a lot of hits off this, and I hope that your journey comes to a happy ending!
Hi

I'm good for three entries this time. It is a strategy. You'll see. 1. posted on FB 2. posted on blog 3. checked out the Amway products!
We are so excited to be supporting you guys in this! We're looking forward to getting our shirts and coffee :), and to meeting your baby girl!
I am so glad that I can help support you! I will wear my T-shirt to YCW as soon as I get it.
Every since I saw your first post about the t-shirts I have been waiting for the time to buy one! Of course you know that adoption is close to the hearts of our family (especially Ethiopia!) as well as my love for Tanzania. I just couldn't pass up the Africa shirt. I bought mine today and can't wait to get it in the mail!
I bought one t-shirt for me and one for a friend - does that count as four entries ;)
I posted to FB and the Amway stuff we have gotten from Monica has all been good. Matt really likes their drink mixes.
Hope you are raising lots of money!!
