Bring Home Latin Love
Donation protected
Many of you know that we have waited 7 years to complete our family by bringing home our Latin Love from Honduras. This has been a long and hard journey, but it is soon coming to completion (at least the adoption part)! Through the ups and downs of the years, we have trusted that the Lord knew the timing that was right, and now is our time!
We got to meet our Latin Love at the end of April. He is sweet and quiet and silly and even more that we don't know yet. We had to come home while we wait for a judge to finish our process, but we are praying any day we will get the call to come back to get him! We really do believe this will be soon.
Over the years we have done small fundraisers here and there, we've saved bonuses from work and set extra aside as we've gotten it, but now that we are preparing for our final trip the financial need will be a bit greater and imminent. Kyle and I will be traveling to Honduras for 2 weeks for the official adoption signing, but then Kyle will travel back home while I stay in country with Latin Love as the remainder of his paperwork is finalized to come home. Once we are home I will be taking a leave from work for some amount of time as he acclimates to his new home, family, community, and country. We will have doctor visits and tutoring and many other things. We're not quite sure when I'll go back to work (hopefully after a few months), and when I do it will be at reduced hours until we know exactly how life will work as new family of five.
To help ease this burden, we are doing one last fundraiser. We started this one a while back, but it fizzled out and our fundraising platform was actually purchased by GoFundMe. So here we relaunch!
We have a 500 piece world puzzle. We are asking anyone we know (or don't know!) to "buy" a piece for $10 so that we can add it to our puzzle for Latin Love. We will write your name on the back and the assembled puzzle will be hung in his room so he knows how many people have been praying him home over the years (from even before he was born!!) Let us know what names you would like included on your pieces in the comments if you can please.
Thank you so much for everything over the years. Knowing we have a "village" behind us is so helpful as we continue down a new road as Wanee Party of 5.
Sidenote: if you donated to this fundraiser before, we have your name and pieces set aside! Thank you!
