We wanted to post this to have you simply pray
about this…
We have been blessed by so many generous people along the
way through this journey of adoption.
It truly humbles us. At this point in the journey we have $10,000 left to
pay at placement. We have always had a ‘plan B’ through this to pay this
last part through a loan against our retirement. We are more than ok with
this if this is the Lord’s path and plan.
In the last couple of months we have been learning from and
talking with a ministry called Tapestry (http://tapestryministry.org/).
They are awesome. We have been discussing with them the possibility of a
0% loan or a ‘matching grant’. With getting word last week of a birth mom
wanting to place with us and delivering by c-section on December 18 we didn’t
think we would get looked at in time to be considered, but I got word yesterday that they were expediting
our application because of the rather quick placement. Then this morning
I got a call and they said that tomorrow they would call with how they want to
help – they emphasized they do want to help.
Today they asked if I thought a matching fund would be the
best route since baby is coming in 2 weeks. I told them I didn’t know and
they said, ‘pray’ and we will talk tomorrow. So would you join me in praying? They have talked about
doing $4,000 to $5,000 in a matching fund, so others’ gifts would be
doubled. We are simply praying for his perfect plan and path.
