Here's the skinny: We need cash - fast! The words "close your adoption file" actually came to us in an email Friday. I am going to speak with the wonderful Ms. Angie at CHI tomorrow and ask for one more day. She's seriously wonderful, so I feel confident we will be given this one day. And it looks very promising that the SHOW HOPE grant of some amount will be awarded to us and will be awesome to cover whatever the next fee is in line if we can stay active. HOWEVER, it will not be here in time for our next fee. We need about $4,000 yesterday to keep our adoption open and active and moving forward and will then immediately need $7,000 more. If you are reading this, I am certain you have invested in us :). We are not asking you to donate more. We ARE asking you to share our blog link.
Our challenge = to sell 650 Noel Christmas CDs in 24 hours.
If you purchased the Noel CD and love it (and I'm sure you do ;)), please tell other people about it! We have paypal set up on this blog OR email me at Blairs124@hotmail.com. Each CD is $10 - ALL PROFIT goes to our adoption! Please pray. Please share our story. Please forward our blog about the Noel Christmas CD challenge. THANK YOU!!!!
Ordered three! I think it'll make a great Christmas gift!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It really is a great CD and such a huge help to us! Bless you!
ReplyDeleteSomehow found your blog through a friend of a friend; bought 2; put it on my wall and I know two things- God is GOOD and he calls us to take care of orphans because we WERE orphans! I have been adopted into the loving family of God because he loved us first, while we were still sinners! I'll be praying for your sweet baby in Ethiopia and your family. God bless!
ReplyDeleteThank you minivanmom! :) and AMEN!
ReplyDeleteBought two CDs! I am praying for your adoption and I will put it on my wall! God Bless!
ReplyDeleteThank you much! I know this will happen if we all share the info. Bless you!
ReplyDeleteDawn, I ordered mine and 3 others to give as gifts. I also put the word out to all of the friends of Salient online, plus direct emails to several families we know who have adopted so that they might share with their support networks.
ReplyDeleteLet us know if there's more we can do!
Ordered up a copy, posted it on my wall, hope it helps! God Bless!
ReplyDeleteAwesome guys! Thank you over and over again!
ReplyDeleteFound you through a friend on facebook and ordered a couple for gifts. Keep us posted! Will pray today for your family.

ReplyDeleteHeard about the CD and your blog from Cris! Just placed our CD order! YAY! Excited to follow your journey to your little girl! :)
ReplyDeleteover by way of Steph S. and have shared with my FB friends. I pray you meet your goal! Can't wait to get the CD!
ReplyDeletebought a cd earlier tonight. linked your blog on facebook. my husband and i are also adopting from ethiopia, so we know the pressure of getting all the money! hoping you get exactly what you need by tomorrow. no family who is ready and willing to adopt should be forced to stop simply because of money.
ReplyDeleteWe are adopting a little girl from Ethiopia through AGCI. We posted to our FB and bought a couple CDs. We are praying for you all and are excited to see you meet this goal tonight!!
ReplyDeletea friend of mine posted your link on FB...we just purchased two. Adoption is amazing and I'm going to have to follow your blog for updates! ;)
ReplyDeleteGot two on the way, and will definitely post it to my Twitter :) good luck to you, and God bless.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how I ended up here, but I wait with eager expectation to see how the Lord will provide for this need according to His glorious riches!!! (Phil 4:19) Love some Christmas music! You're five CDs closer!
ReplyDeleteHi, I just found your blog on a link on FB!!! I just ordered two CD's to give as teacher gift! Will be praying for you today, I believe God WILL provide the funds needed!!! We just mailed in our application yesterday to adopt our daughter from Ethiopia! We are trusting God for the funds needed as well.. and the support of christian brothers and sister! God bless!
ReplyDeleteJust heard of your story from a friend and bought a CD. Praying for you and your family! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteDarcee and Shannon posted a link on facebook. God WILL bring in the money. I am going to go buy a cd right now.
ReplyDeleteHeard about your story from a bloggy friend. I had been struggling to find a friend an Christmas gift. This answered that. She is also an adoptive mom. I'll be praying that God provides for your family.
ReplyDeleteHeard about your family and troubles through good friends that are also adopting out of ET (as are my hubby & I! = ) and who had posted for you on their fb acct. I posted for your family on fb, too, and am praying for your child/-ren and you! I know, personally, how scary, sad and frustrating it can be to worry about money when you are trying to adopt, as we worry about it regularly, too. God Bless!
