Angels Among Us

I am so thankful that this journey of adoption has brought a lot of wonderful people into my life, but one very special new mommy has become one of my dearest friends and best confidants. She has talked me down from the ledge on more occasions than I would like to admit. And she simply will not let me sit and be sad for a minute. I feel guilty that sometimes I think she is working harder to make us parents than we are. Not only has she shown us so much love and support, but now she is the source of our first fundraiser. 

We have t-shirts!! These shirts were used to raise funds to bring their beautiful angel home. Now that she is living the dream of motherhood, she has donated all of their remaining shirts to us. 


There are two styles, and we have them in sizes Youth XS all the way up to 3XL. One was made by a local shop and features the verse "I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you" John 14:18 and is priced at $10 for youth sizes and $15 for adults. It comes in purple, red, white and a very few gray are left.



The other was printed by Southern Belle and states "What is impossible with man, is possible with God" Luke 18:27 and is priced at $12 for youth sizes and $18 for adults.



To purchase a shirt (or many shirts), please follow the directions below:

-Buy a t-shirt using PayPal and have it delivered: If you live nearby, Click the "Donate" button on the left side of the page and enter the total dollar amount for the shirts you wish to purchase (ex. $36 for two shirts) and in the "message" box enter the size(s) [and color(s) if ordering the one with John 14:18]. We will deliver them to you when they arrive. It will go directly into our adoption fund account.

-Buy a t-shirt using PayPal and have it shipped: Follow instructions for delivery option above, but add $5.35 to your total for shipping via USPS Priority Mail. If you purchase multiples, I will do my best to cram as many as possible into the small box, but for more than 4, you will need to add $11.35 or more. Contact us for total shipping charges before placing orders for more than 4.

-Buy a t-shirt from one of our friends or family members: We will happily take advantage of our loved ones, and offer their services. If you are in contact with one of our friends or family members, you can give them cash or check with your t-shirt size(s) [and color(s) if ordering the one with John 14:18] in the memo (made payable to us) and they will place the order for you.

And thank you for your continued prayers and for purchasing shirts to help us bring our baby home!
