Super Hero!!


        I have to admit I never know where to start when I start writing about our adoption and our next adoption.      My mind goes in several different directions such as what are we thinking starting adoption #2,  how is this going to work out, international adoption...new to us, as well as- am I ready for all that paperwork again?    And Yes we are ready.
If you do not know, Kyle, Judah and I are setting out our growing family in the direction of Haiti.
Haiti,  why? 
Back in 2009 Kyle was at work and he read an article about Haiti and their food crisis, their government at the time, and how the people are in so much need.  Children working in rock quarries and many children sold as restavek's (basically slaves) as early as the age of 8 and mainly just females.    Parent's hoping that their daughters will have a better life somewhere else.  A life where they get fed and taken care of.  But in reality it's not that way.    You can only think of the hurt that comes upon these girls in these homes.       So Kyle prayed at work that day and he uttered the words "God give me Haiti"     Huge words there, and we didn't even know what that meant.
Fast forward to end of 2009 and beginning 2010 Kyle and I started putting together our trip to Haiti.   Soon after, the earthquake hit Haiti and in turn all our plans were put on hold.....for a long time.    Kyle and I never even talked or mentioned Haiti up until 3 months ago.     Some friends of some friends were returning from Haiti and Kyle came hone and said our next adoption will be from Haiti.
So we are embarking on our new journey.
  We have many unknowns currently and some stuff we do know.     The process will be much much longer then sweet Judah, but that doesn't deter us from this journey.        We were surrounded and supported by so many people when we brought Judah into our family and we are just asking that you would rally around us to help bring home a little girl.       Judah says yes he wants a sister and then he says no, but mainly he is not wanting to share his toys.   Typical.
    I have a fellow mama also adopting from Haiti and she is graciously willing to do a fundraiser for us!     If any of your kids or you know someone who loves superheroes, boys and girls included, purchase a cape and mask from our fundraiser!   It is fun and something they can play with all year long.   Anyone wanting these before Halloween orders needed placed by the 16th of October!       The masks are a super soft felt.    They are fun for an all year dress up fun for your littles.

                          

Capes Cost are $25.    You can pay through paypal or directly mail to us.

We are wanting to raise some funds before taking the next big steps in this journey.     
Cost will run $30,000 on up.    God can do this and we know God directs the steps of the righteous.     Thanks for joining and teaming up with us on our journey towards Haiti.
