Two years ago we lived in a small coastal town in New Jersey.
Two years ago on one special night we gathered with our church family, our family family who drove all the way from Michigan to be with us, many faces we've never seen before, and our good friends who are like family who also were on this journey with us to bring home their child from Africa.
 |
| Two families, Two less orphans.... |
 |
| We worshiped and gave thanks to God. |
 |
| We prayed for our sons and daughters. |
 |
| We shared our adoption story. God's adoption story. |
 |
| We fought for orphans that night. |
 |
| We sang some more. |
 |
| My father in law made us laugh with his comedy routine. Thank you Mike, I love your humor:) |
 |
| I made these "Africa bags" to raise funds for fees. We had a silent auction..many items were donated from business throughout Cape May County. Feeling blessed...so much support from everywhere. |
 |
| My mother in law and sister in law made these really stinkin cute sock monkeys. Complete with names and personalities. There were none left at the end of the night. They all went to good homes with tiny little owners carrying them around all night. Made me smile:) |
 |
| People came from everywhere throughout the night. So blessed for the support, the prayers, the encouragement, the questions asked, the stories exchanged, we were all there fighting for these these two precious little ones who were far far away in Africa. We were all praying you home that night. |
 |
| Family. |
 |
| Love. |
