So as many of you know adopting is VERY expensive and we are already in debt. This journey is probably more of a lesson in trusting God than anything else. I have always had a hard time letting go of control and the area of Money is no different. God seems to be working on me one trust issue at a time right now. First it was how we were actually going to bring a child into our family and now it is how we are going to pay for it :) Random ideas have come to mind like...we could both get a second job, we could sell our kidneys, how about donating plasma weekly, we could also start checking all houses for loose change in the couches:)
OK, on a more serious note though we have looked into a few fundraising ideas and here they are for anyone who is interested.
1. Current Fundraising- Go to http://www.currentfun.com/. Click on any of the 4 images to start shopping. Once you are done shopping, go to checkout. At that time it should prompt you to select a state...Choose INDIANA. Click next and it will have you choose an organization. Scroll through the list and we are KENNETH AND STEPHANIE VASS ADOPTION FUND. Click next and proceed to check out. It is that easy and we receive 50% of the profits.
2. Garage Sale- We are planning a huge adoption benefit garage sale this spring. If you have any items you are willing to donate that would be greatly appreciated. Just let us know!
It really is an exercise in letting go and trusting that God will provide. Please pray for us to trust him in this struggle!
We have our first Home Study meeting tomorrow afternoon. We are a little nervous but I really think it should go well. Please keep us in your prays...say around 2pm:)
