Late Night Rambling - Just Wondering...

...if I could get some backup here from some families who have adopted that went through extreme anxiety over the expense.  I know, I KNOW! I am fully aware that God is in control and if He wants more children in our home with our last name He will make it happen but I am officially freaking out over the upcoming expenses.

Understand this, I am  - in no way, shape or form - expecting others to pay for this to happen.  But for goodness sake, HOW WILL IT HAPPEN!??  I'm pretty certain I have 2 functioning kidneys, maybe I sell one?  Do people do that?  Maybe I'll offer Tim's first!  Ha!  What on earth do people do?  I know we are very fortunate, my husband has a job he loves and we live very comfortably compared to most but the idea of 10's of thousands of dollars for this to happen is about to put me over the edge.

Here's the deal, we don't fish for handouts - we work... very hard for what we want that is considered 'extra'.  Kids want to go on Summer trips?  Oh, there are no letters going out asking for donations.  They may ask for *work* to earn cash but not a hand out, oh no... so thats where I'm at, what can we *DO* to earn what could ultimately be close to $60,000??? In the next year?  I'm totally open to ideas.  Keeping in mind that 1) God, 2) Family 3) Jobs (Tim's is very demanding *in a good way* and I am currently working 2 jobs) but for goodness sake, we are completely willing to work for the money, I just don't know how.  I feel very overwhelmed with the heaviness of this.

Just being honest here -

I get it.  I love God and I trust Him. But I'm a fool if I just blow it off and not do anything. I know this will be ok... but we have set high standards for how we live as far as debt is concerned.  What does this look like?

Ok, I feel better - I just needed that off my chest.  I'm done now :)

Be A Piece Of Our Story!

After much prayer and consideration, we are certain that there is at least one Bycroft child from our family currently in Haiti. God has already decided who they are, we just need to find them and bring them home!

It is astronomical the amount of time, paperwork and MONEY it takes to make something like this happen. We need way more than we are listing here but eventually we can apply for grants and 0% loans but not until our Home Study is complete. We are working on that and the Dossier now!

We currently have a large puzzle of Haiti and are asking for $10 donations for each piece. 

We will then put your name on the back of the puzzle piece. A $50 donation = your name on 5 pieces, $100 = 10 pieces, etc. We will then put it together and frame it in glass so we will always be able to remember you!  You can do this here http://www.youcaring.com/fundraiser_details?fundraiser_id=2470&url=haitianbycroft

We are so grateful for the love and support that has been shown to us so far!  We can't wait for our family to be complete!
