Dearest Friends and Family,
Many of you may know that we have been trying to start a family for the past 5 years with no success through our adoption agency.  Earlier this summer, our case worker suggested that we expand our options and try working through an attorney. This was a such a good idea! Within a month's time, we were blessed to have a match for a baby girl due on October 4th.
Needless to say, we are excited beyond words!! As we mentioned, we had all but given up. Now, we are just weeks away from the birth of our daughter, Hanalei Grace. 
The major hurdle we have in front of us is that the adoption through our attorney is much more costly. We had prepared for the fees through our agency, but what we are now facing is quite different.  His fees are twice the amount of our agency.  There is also the matter of travel to Arkansas, hospital fees and a stay of up to two weeks while paperwork is finalized.
This is where we need your help. First and foremost, we are asking for your prayers that the adoption will go as planned. Second, we are asking for donations. And finally, we are asking for our message to be shared among your friends and family. 
Thank you for your love, prayers and support.
