This past Sunday, our church held a little adoption shower for us after the service. We were blessed with many gift cards and checks to help us with our adoption expenses and things we might still need for our boys. This was a wonderful gift because, as you can probably imagine, we have been on a tight budget coming up with all the funds for two adoptions at once. Our church also had prayer cards made up for our adoption so people would remember to pray for us. Having the support of our church family means so much to us.
It has been amazing to see God providing for our needs through others generosity and also not so "random" circumstances. We have received a bunk bed built by my Dad, mattresses donated by friends, many bags of clothes from Aaron's coworkers, our neighbor, and my Mom's neighbor, bins full of legos and k'nex from another coworker, frozen gluten free meals from our wonderful friends, an adoption grant from Love Without Boundaries, another adoption grant from Grant me a Chance, and an unexpected adoption tax refund from Susu's adoption. We have had many offers of rides to and from the airport, friends who are cat sitting for Shadow, and offers to make gluten free meals after we get home. I am probably forgetting some things because we have really received so much. We so appreciate the help and support from everyone who has played a part in our adoption!
