Sponsorship need!
Every child at Hope House has multiple sponsors. It is how HFAP provides 24 hour care for each of the children, in a country where food/supplies can be outrageously expensive.
Our boys have had sponsors, in addition to a monthly payment we send that is equal to a typical international adoption's In-Country expenses. They have us pay monthly instead of in one lump sum.
We just found out that 4 families who sponsored the boys needed to drop sponsorship, 2 sponsors for each of our boys. The cost goes to us. HFAP encourages adopting families in this situation to find sponsors through friends and family.
It is difficult to ask anymore of those who already support us so beautifully. However we do feel that we need to put it out there and make the need known.
So here is the need:
we need 4 sponsors to pay $30 per month, $120 per month, total.
We have experienced God using people in our lives, and those we don't even know, to provide where we thought it impossible.
We are trusting in His provision and we are doing all we can to just get our boys home so we can provide for them in our own home.
Our dossier is very close to being done on the US side and actually getting to Haiti. We are praying over our dossier and timing!
Right now that is all we can do.
Could you please join us?

Last week my parents, brother and sister in law came to stay with us. It was the first time my brother and his wife have ever been to MI and it was an amazing week! One of the wonderful things we were able to do was to Skype with Caleb and Guerlens...my family was able to "meet" both of our boys and it was awesome! Caleb waved and smiled at seeing them and said Grandma and Grandpa..it was precious. Ging was his busy little self and gave us some great smiles and showed us his continuous love of eating:)
Technology can be a magical thing!
We also received our immigration approval from the USCIS! Woohoo!
On Saturday afternoon, Kev opened the mail first and in it was a money order for $200! There was a short note that said "To bring your boys home!! Love In Jesus"

I felt overwhelmed holding such a gift from someone we can never thank. And it's obvious that they don't want verbal thanks from us...so instead, as I'm sure they would hope, we gave thanks to our Father. In my hand was an extension of Him...this note was written by someone who is part of the body of Christ...and it felt like church, not "going" to church but someone was the church. And we are grateful.
