There is a song by Chris Rice Lemonade which really resonates with me. This is our story, our journey to adoption.

Keep On Trucking
Its the middle of July and we are still fundraising for our adoption. We have been doing this a couple different ways.
Annie has a couple open Thirty One Gifts Parties that anyone can order from.
We have our Adoption Fundraising Site Set up at To donate to our adoption (http://www.youcaring.com/adoption-fundraiser/bringing-baby-owens-home/181884)
We are in the midst of planning for a fundraising event that will include a silent auction.
We've started to save change as well. Anytime we have change it gets put into a container and then once we fill it up (its a pretty big container) its going to the bank.
Greg is looking at extra hours at his current place of employment, and I am looking for a second job as well.
We've opened an account at our Credit Union specifically for adoption where all this money and donations gets put in to.
The above are all small changes, that eventually will lead where we want it to go. We just need to believe and pray on it. We ask that you pray with us, for God to grant us our wish of expanding our family. That we can gather all the resources we need to expand it.
I've recently posted a "fundraising" video on Youtube, it has our story, and our why. Why we chose adoption. Feel free to share with your friends and family.

As always you can help in a number of ways.
Share our story with friends, family, an co workers. Ask them to keep us in their prayers as we fundraise, as we walk this journey. Share with them the link to Annie's Thirty-One site. If you know of a part time or even temporary job for either Greg or Annie, let us know. If you have ideas for fundraising share them, if you or someone you know would like to help out with our silent auction please let us know. Again prayers are what is needed the most.
