Making plans...

My friend Deena, who is an amazing graphic designer (and probably THE most artistically gifted person I know!), is going to draw me a design for tshirts, etc. (kind of like our logo) for fundraising! She is also 1 month away from having her third baby so it is so sweet of her to do this for us! I have an idea of what I want as far as the sketch goes, but need to think of the perfect line to go with it, a verse or just a quote maybe?

So, we have to pay for the adoption, and yes it is very expensive....VERY. John and I have decided that we will pay for this personally and not do any fundraising for this. BUT, I do want to raise money for something else. And that something else is all of the other little babies and children that will be left behind when we leave the orphanage with our son. Our son's life will change, but what about all the other ones left there? My goal is to double what we need to pay for our adoption and give 100% to the orphanges in the area where God will choose our son. I will find out what they need the most, whether it is more food, cleaner water, blankets, education,  Bibles for the caretakers, etc. and that is where our resources will go. So selling these tshirts and everything else will help with that...

I look at it like this... my eyes have been opened, if I turn my head at this point, and only look to help MY child, that would be such a shame. I know we can help so many other children and that makes me even more excited about this process.
