Grant Money
So I'm collecting stuff for a Large Sale. We have a private Donner who has said they would help with Alina's fees! Don't know how much but any will be greatly appreciated. How have all of you raised money?
Gift of adoption gave us 5000.00 for Max's adoption. I told everyone we were going to get a grant for him from them and we sure did. God never lets us down when we ask!!!

Church & Family
We love our Church, and all of the members. They are very positive and supportive through all of life's struggle. Good, Bad, Happy, Sad! They are the foundation of life. I am a better person, wife, mother because of our church and its members. If you do not attend a church I encourage you to search for the one that fits you. God is someone who will never leave you or hurt you, He died on the cross for all our sins so if you feel like you have done so much wrong in your life and you cant be forgiven. Just Ask... If you have addictions that you cant overcome. Just Ask and he will remove them for you. If your life is out of sorts!!!! Invite God to dinner, He will show up. When the world and people have let me down, just know God has not. If you don't know who He is... I pray you ask him into your heart right now:) Why are the people in this Church so important to us you ask.. Because as we love our children so will they. As we went to Adopt Sasha, Nhikko & Max. They prayed for us, helped us, provided for us, loved us. But most importantly loved them just as we did. And they will love Alina just as we do. It is so exciting to share about what God can do for you if you "just ask".' Today was church at the lake. We had a great service and fellowship dinner and time after to play and swim. God is good all the time, All the time God is good.

Family of the Month
The family is..... Scott & Jacque, They have 2 boys and are very committed parents. While many of us who adopt special need children have made that a choice they were given a child with C.P. through birth. They were very young when he was born, he was their 2nd child and they stuck together when I think others would of walked away. Not for lack of love but for fear. I call on them LOTS when I have questions about Nhikko. They are always positive and so helpful to Les and I about what we can expect for our son. They are one of the most committed and caring parent I know and I wish them Love, Peace, Joy and Hope for all the days of their life. If ever I could build a home for all of us to be in I would. They live in Texas and we will be going to Texas on some official business soon so we will be able to spend some much needed time with them!!!
I love and miss them and just want them to know from us... Your awesome XOXOXOXOXO.
