Catching Up

Sorry I got a little behind since, everything hit over the holidays!  I hope everyone had a very blessed Thanksgiving!!!!  I can't believe it's already Christmas!!  Part of me still feels like it should be Summer, ha but I guess time continues on whether we're ready or not!!

For those that missed it on social media, we received some WONDERFUL news a few days before Thanksgiving.   We received our Emigration Permit Approval.  (ha and yes I'm spelling it right!ahum for my dad who questioned it haha! Emigration basically means her permission to leave the country.)

We are thrilled!!! Because this means the paperwork was approved!!! HUGE folks HUGE. We were also submitted for court shortly after, which is also HUGE.   This means that the next notification we'll be getting will be notification of our court date!!!   Our court date will be the first time we travel.  (We'll make one trip for our court date and one to actually take custody and bring our girly home.)

So now we wait!!!  Notification of a court date would be such a nice Christmas present!!    We're hoping to be able to travel early this next year!  Which is extremely exciting!!  We've put off looking at travel before, but now we actually need to start planning!!  YIKES!!!!! ha Such a nervous excitement in my heart... but also a good excitement... but also freaking out a little bit on the inside!!  But a good freaking out?? haha if there is such a thing.  Yall!!! We could be (knock on wood)  meeting our girl sooo soon!!!  I mean... soon soon...  as in I was clipping coupons yesterday that won't expire till after we most probably will meet her, soon.   And now please excuse me while I do a happy dance.

Still another bit of anxiety lingering, is the necessary funds we still need to raise,  around 2,500 for our adoption, and the money for two trips gasp which include 5 airline tickets to Korea (2 trips plus an added munchkin's ticket on the journey home).   Still scary for us, but we do trust, that God will continue to provide as he has so abundantly thus far.   And yall, we have been so unbelievably blessed!!!!

Soooo many people have stepped up to help us that it makes me want to cry.   Our Both Hands project was such an amazing blessing!   We were able to serve Ms. Nancy who is so deserving on November the 7th, and were also blessed ourselves.   Sooooo many people, friends, family, and so many people that we don't even have the pleasure of knowing yet, have given so much towards our adoption and we are so incredibly thankful, to which we can never fully even express all the gratitude we feel in our hearts.  Praying God equally blesses each of you guys, and know that we will never forget what you've done to help us get our precious girl home.  Not ever.  And some day when she's old enough, we will tell her about the precious people in our lives that gave so generously and loved her so much even before they knew her.

If anyone would like to see our video of the day, you can view it here:

Donations are still coming in and we're able to update our thermometer once a week if you'd like to keep up with it and cheer us on as we get closer to our goals.  Tax deductible donations can still be made on the page as well. <3

I'll end with a glance of our Christmas tree this year ;)  Because Christmas...   (p.s. can't wait to have a little gal helping us decorate next year!!)

Our Both Hands Project- What it is and how we need YOUR HELP with this different kind of fundraiser!

A few months back, we learned that we received a matching grant from our church through Lifesong, as well as the opportunity to do a special kind of fundraiser project called Both Hands.  Thankfully God has blessed us so much thus far, incredibly so, and we've gotten much much closer to our goal. But, unfortunately, we still have somewhere in the range of $15,000 we'll need to raise in the next few months to finish off our initial adoption costs, as well as two required trips to Korea- unfortunately it ain't cheap folks. :(  We're really praying this project will help us raise the rest of our funds!!

We are incredibly excited about this project, and it's coming up so quick!!

Our project will take place November 7th (Which also happens to be the day before Orphan Sunday which we thought was pretty awesome!!) 

So what is Both Hands exactly??  I'm glad you asked!! 

With Both Hands a widow and an orphan is served!!! How awesome is that??  The Both Hands projects are actually based off of James 1:27 where it states that the most pure form of religion is in fact taking care of the orphans and the widows. 

We have gotten a team together, and we'll be going to work on a widow's house in town for a day- "helping the widow."   Our precious widow, Ms. Nancy is 77 and lost her husband 20 years ago.  She spends so much of her time selflessly loving others, including working at a local school and caring for her disabled son's needs.  This has left little time to care for her own needs as well as upkeep and maintenance of her home.  It's always somewhat difficult for those who have lost spouses to tend to these things on their own.   We're so excited to serve Ms. Nancy and give back to such a wonderful person in this project!

As for the orphan, our team will be asking for sponsorship (much like they would for a 5k etc. except instead of running they'll be working on a widow's home.)  All proceeds will be going towards bringing our precious girl home! 

In this we would LOVE your help!! 

If you'd like to sponsor our team, you can visit our project site for more information.  There is a place to donate or directions to mail a check.  We would LOVE it if you would prayerfully consider sponsoring us and helping us reach our goal! 

Delk Both Hands Project http://www.bothhands.org/project/delk-5423

All donations are tax deductible!!!  Which is awesome!! If you donate $50 or more a receipt will be sent to you, if less you can just request one.   

If you'd like to volunteer to help the day of, just contact me! We can always use more hands! :)

Also we'll need your help spreading the word!!!  If you know anyone that would be interested be sure to send them the link!  We would love to reach outside of our small little circle!!!

Rag Wreath For a Little Girl's Room

The Pinspiration:
I wanted something cute for my little girl's door... and found some ideas on pinterest.  I LOVED this one... especially the gold polka dots, colors, and the bird... since this is the theme for our little one's room.

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/71776187788097792/

Supplies:
I lucked up at JoAnn's and found a roll of already cut 2.5 inch strips of fabric in the color scheme I wanted.   I also got some extra scrap pieces with some other colors I wanted to work in.   I had trouble finding the gold polka-dot material, so I ordered a 1/4 yard online off of etsy.  And it was perfect.
You'll also need a wire wreath.  You can find them on Amazon or at a craft store. :)

http://www.amazon.com/Wire-Wreath-Frame-12--Green/dp/B004BPTGUU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437675141&sr=8-1&keywords=wire+wreath

First off I cut all of my strips... it's a pretty tedious process but at least they don't have to be perfect :)
they are 2.5 inches wide and 8 inches long.

Next up you start tying them in knots.  Nothing complicated.. just knots.  ha I try to complicate things. 

You could do a pattern.. but I just did at random since I started that way... I just tried to make sure to mix them up.  You'll finish a section and push them as tight as you can, filling in until you fit as many in the section as possible.  This gives it the full effect.

Then you'll flip it over and push your fabric to the front so that you only have knots in the back.  This isn't as important on the inside ring, but will be more important on the inner rings.  

Continue until you fill each section.   To save on fabric... I only did the inside ring and the 3rd ring (no the outermost ring, but the one before that.   I still think it had a great full effect and you can't see any of the wire ha so it works for me! :)

Husband got home from work while I was working on it, helped me cut a longer piece of fabric since he's better at straight lines, and decided our pup needed a bow wrapped around her head.  haha poor Kaia... funny husband. I'll include it for the cuteness... I mean.. awwwww.

The finished Product :)  Well... minus a ribbon for hanging.. a bow.. and a bird ;)   I'll update that later.

Yeah...It's beyond time for an update.

I feel like I'm always apologizing, so I'm sorry again folks, that it took this long to update the blog.  I know many of you follow us on other social media, so hopefully you've stayed in the loop there a bit.
There actually are several reasons why it took a while, however, so I think it will be easiest just to discuss those as well as update you on our adoption along the way.

First off we were completing our home study!  
The home study process, as I'm sure always is with a first time adoptive family, was a little nerve wracking.  We had an amazing social worker though, that made the meetings as comfortable as possible.  Get this... she was actually an adoptee herself from our girl's country! We loved getting to know her, and it was actually pretty painless. It was great to get her perspective on some adoptive things like cultural and racial differences and how to best prepare our child for situations.

Ha, of course I freaked out about our house being spotless for the home visit, baked muffins, and making sure all the child safety things were in place.  But, in reality it was pretty simple!  It was mostly a check to make sure our roof wasn't falling in and that we had adequate space.  

The worst part of the home study process was definitely just gathering all the documents and waiting on approval from various government checks- one in particular that ended up taking 2-3 weeks longer holding up our approval because we signed a date instead of typing it.... sigh.  Don't even get me started.

It all Comes Tumbling Down
     While we were completing that process, and partially the reason for not updating in a while, is not knowing what to say about this, and wanting to protect her privacy in it, until she was ready to make it public.  I know a lot of you saw me ask for prayer for an unknown reason, I'm sorry if a lot of you thought it was something going on with our adoption, it was something that pretty much turned our world upside down, as i'm sure most of you that have experienced cancer or cancer with a loved one understand.

Shortly after we were matched, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.  I'll try to just lay out the facts, and leave out the roller coaster that were all of our emotions through those first few weeks. If you remember from my mentioning it in the choosing of Ava's name and discussing her grandmother, my mother's mother died from breast cancer when she was in her early 30's, so it's something that hits pretty hard emotionally in our family to begin with, but then we got some much worse news. Not only that she had cancer, but that the cancer may have already spread to my mom's liver and possibly her brain.   Because of the possibility of it being in multiple areas of her body, decided to go on to a more advanced hospital MD Anderson in Houston.

Praise the Lord that the tumor in my mom's brain was found to be benign.  It's just something that will need monitoring.  Regarding her liver, however, it's something they're still not totally sure about. There was a biopsy, but the location was hard to get to, so they're unsure of the accuracy. She just finished her first round of chemotherapy, and she'll go back the end of this month for further testing.

 Our family could definitely use your prayers in this trying time.  My heart aches for my mom. I'm able to say everything calmly now as some time and the initial shock has passed, but it's still so difficult and I HATE seeing her suffer.  As you all i'm sure know Chemo takes so much out of her, and makes her feel pretty terrible.  It's a hard fight, but she's really looking forward to getting her grand baby home. Ava know's nothing about this of course, in her little world halfway across the globe, but she's becoming a big symbol of hope in our family through such a trying time.

Trying Times Continue
Shortly after this happened, we faced another trying time full of unknowns.  Will works with a smaller branch of a gigantic company as a research engineer.  He loved his job, the small little group he worked with, and getting to travel internationally frequently.  And then one day, we received news that the "higher ups" would be flying in to make a major announcement in a week, but for certain other reasons, we had a pretty bad feeling that it would not be good news.

Let me just say, a week is a very long time to wait for that.  Especially just after finishing home study, being matched with our girl, a lot was on the line for Will's income, mostly the chance of losing her if he lost his job for starters, and on a lesser note yet still troubling losing precious time since in our adoption paperwork every second counts.   That again is one of the times I asked for prayer.

The week came, and as we mostly expected Will's branch was getting moved and combined into an Atlanta research group.  Thankfully and Praise the Lord, however, they still wanted to keep everyone in his group within the company. His group would be divided up into various groups, some going to Germantown (a bigger engineering facility close by) and others to the research group in Atlanta.

As with all big companies this was a process, and they called each in individually to make offers. Will was one of three who got the offer to move to Atlanta.  Not good news at all! A move right now would be pretty detrimental to our adoption and that timeline, not to mention needing to be close to my family during this time, and having just finished finally moving in to our house.  Thankfully the company understood, and still did not want to lose Will, and made him an offer to the Germantown group.   It was a frightening time, but we are so thankful to have it worked out.  Still a bit sad since Will's small group was so close knit and he'll be traveling much less, but we are so thankful and praising the Lord for a steady income at this time.  He just started work there this week, and is liking the new place thus far.  

Needless to say the past few months have been very trying.  We knew God knew that both of those things would happen... it was no surprise to Him.  He knew it would happen in this time. God is definitely teaching us even more, to rely on Him.  We've said all along throughout this process that things have reminded us of the song by Hillsong "Oceans" where it talks about God calling Peter out on the water, calling him to a deeper faith and dependence.  That continues to become even more true as we walk this path.  Sometimes terrible things happen, or scary things, things you have no control over.  I believe God is working everything for His good and for His name's sake.  I continue to praise His name and have faith in Him in all of these things.

We've Kinda had a Lot Going on...

• In our adoption news, we were able to get our home study approved.  
• After that approval we were able to apply for grants finally! Please continue to pray that God will provide financially to bring sweet Ava home.   
• We were also able to send our acceptance paperwork to her country, which was amazing.  There's something all to sweet, to be able to say Yes we want her as ours officially. That also starts the process to get her legals.   
• We were able to apply for immigration approval (USCIS), the first part.  And, we received word last week that we were approved!! 
• Once we had that form, it was the last part needed to complete our Dossier (the big huge gigantic book of tears, sweat, and lots and lots of prayer ha... with tons of legal documents, medical forms, extra notarized copies, etc etc etc)
• Last week we were able to send in our Dossier to Holt U.S. where they check everything, make sure there are no mistakes, nothing left blank, all the forms are right etc. (There could be major delays here!! and that is what you DO NOT WANT)
• Yesterday we received word that our Dossier looked great!! Amazing news!! And that it was sent to our girl's country today!!! It will be translated there, and will await Emigration Permit Submission. 

If you'd like to know in detail all the steps just check out my new tab "Adoption Timeline" I'll keep everything updated on it.

And Now... We Wait... 
Now our part is pretty much done, minus a few things that will take place later, filling out our second part to USCIS approval once we receive legals, and a few documents for court.
I'll be honest, It's kind of an eery feeling knowing that everything is out of our hands... but it's a good feeling too knowing we've done all we can.


Please join us in praying for a short wait and a smooth process the rest of the way.  Ready to get this baby girl home!!!

Oh and to stay busy... I've started working on her room.  Who knows how fast she could get here right?!  So I need to be prepared... ha (fingers crossed)  And I'm pretty sure I have enough projects that I might still not be done by the time she gets here... hahaha... so let the process begin! Expect some budget savvy updates in the home projects/DIY section coming your way soon! :)

It might be slow for a while, but I'll definitely try not to make it quite as long before an update this time.

Her Name... "And we will Call her..."

Her Name…

Yikes... What terrible timing I have!- ha This is not an April Fool's

We have had several friends (and of course family- most of whom we have already informed) ask about what we are going to call our little girl.  So I figured… why not just do a post about it, since of course there’s a lot to it- haha do you know me yet? 

I really like things like this to be special and have a lot of meaning.  And this is our first little girl… she is already SO SO very special to us, so she deserves a special little name. 

Will and I are most definitely the nerds that picked out a name (or several for our future little ones) wayyyyyyyyyy in advance…. As in when we first started talking children, back when we were dating and getting serious.  I mean, you know, those conversations you have, just for the fun of it. This name was in the mix way back, even then. 

When we started talking adoption and getting serious about it, we still really thought of this name.   And when I started my blog, (knowing eventually it would serve for our adoption updates) naming it Delk’s House of Grace, I started it with “her” in mind.  I also knew back then, that the chances of us getting a little girl within any of the adoption routes we went were very slim, and that was still totally okay. On the off chance we did though, we always kept this name in mind. 

 

So what’s the name?   Ava Grace W__-__ Delk 

The W__-___ represents her name from her country, which for privacy reasons we aren’t allowed to share on the net with you until she comes home.  We will be keeping it as a middle name, so that she is able to hold on to that, because her heritage is very important.  But, we also love giving her a new American name to signify becoming wholly a part of our family, and her new life with us.

So why Ava Grace?  Rest assured, I’ll break it down.

Ava:   It has 2 meanings “bird” or a variation of Eve which means “life.”    Love them both for our little girl.  Your life is precious little one. So very precious.

In a deeper meaning for us, Ava was my grandmother’s name, my mother’s mother.   Sadly, this was my grandmother I was never able to meet and have the pleasure of getting to know.  She lost the fight to breast cancer when she was only 30 years old.  My mom at the time of her death was only 5.   This special lady was one that I was always told I favored the most in looks and mannerisms.  Her legacy still lives on.  My mother, her brother, and sister grew up with a select few memories of her, most of which involved her reading the Bible and praying with them before bed.     If there is one thing out of parenting that I would want my little ones to remember if I had to leave this world early, it would be my love for them and that.   Such a great, great legacy.   

We also Love Love the idea of giving our little girl a family name, because she is completely and wholly part of us. 

Grace:  The meaning is God’s grace, or God’s Favor. 

We love this one for its Biblical meaning.  I mean need I say more??   God chose us, as undeserving as we were, to bless us by sending His son to die for us, making us His children, rather than give to us what we deserved.  He continues to show soo sooo much grace to our family, and that is AMAZING.  So thankful for such a God, such a story of redemption, and couldn’t think of a better name for our little one, and her own personal story of redemption.  

     

Grace is actually also a family name on Will’s side, his mother's grandmother. Both families represent! :) 

So now you know what to call our little one! Could you just get here soon Ava Grace?! :) What do you think??

What Happens Next

We were so excited to post about our match last week!   Scroll back a post if you missed it, because it really is a pretty amazing story.  Seriously.... all about God's plan and providence getting us to her.

But I know a lot of you guys probably have questions right?  Knew I've been getting a lot of those! So... I just wanted to update you guys a bit on the process and where we're at.

Because we chose to do the Waiting Child listing the matching process is a little different for us.   We actually even matched very early in that process because we fell in love with our little girl's picture and reviewed her file early on.   

How much longer will we have before we can go get her?   

That I've heard can vary quite a bit!   We unfortunately have no way of knowing.  We were however told that even with matching early on, the process was still taking from 18-24 months in most cases.  Please join us in praying for a miracle and that we get our baby girl much much sooner than that!  Can Not Wait to hold her in my arms.   

Is she living in an orphanage? No!  Thankfully Holt implemented a program in her country that uses foster parents much like the U.S.  So we know that she is with a loving and caring family in her country while we wait.  This is very good for attachment issues and forming bonds so we hear! So I am very thankful.  

How old is she right now?  She is a little over 8 months old

Why haven't you posted her picture?   Unfortunately for privacy reasons I won't be able to post her picture on the internet, which is very sad because I can't wait to share her with you guys!

What's her name going to be?  I'll post on this a bit later! 

How often do you receive updates?  We get updates every 3 months with a photo and a wellness checkup.  We received one last week just before our selection committee met, and this week again because she went for a follow-up appointment.  Baby girl is rocking her development milestones! She's on an 11 month level on most!  So proud of her :) And thankful to her sweet foster family.   Also very very sad that we have to miss her first time sitting, crawling, first words, and playing peek a boo.   It kind of breaks my heart.   Can  you just be here in my arms yet little one??? 

Where are we now in the process?   Piled high with paperwork!  ha!   No we got to start our home study FINALLY!  So excited about getting that process moving!  We're working with an agency in Tupelo that is Hague accredited and that Holt partners with for the study since they are based out of Oregon and not in Mississippi.   We go for our first meeting tomorrow.  It will consist of 4, the last being in our home of course.   We're also getting physicals and the newly required psych examinations for Korea.   Also working on getting our house ready!   The Home Study process takes around 3 months to complete.   After the home study is complete we'll be able to send care packages which is exciting!  And we'll be getting the Dossier ready and USCIS application... so lots to do! There's sooo much to this process!  But Oh So Worth it.  Thankful I get to look stare at that little face now in this process.

Great is his Faithfulness: Some BIG news for our Adoption Story!!

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases

His mercies never come to an end,

They are New every morning

Great is your faithfulness.  Lamentations 3:22-23

Could a verse be more fitting this week?  I mean….   This is the verse that we were to memorize for our girl's She Reads Truth Lent Bible study.  Also this was the verse I made a screen shot of on my phone earlier this weekend.   A verse I will now carry in my heart forever.

So why is this particular verse so fitting right now?   Well it all comes down to this little story.  

For those of you that have been following along with our adoption story and those that haven’t here’s a quick recap. 

• We first became interested in adoption.  
• When beginning to be ready to start the process, we fell in love with a small agency in Taiwan.  This little agency was a ministry to unwed mothers that also happened to do a few adoptions.  Some laws soon changed in the country changing requirements, and the agency stopped adoptions. (Major set-back and heartache)
• We decided to go ahead and announce, and decided to move forward with Thailand. 
• Just as we were about to start the adoption process, we found out we would need to move, that we needed to be in a more permanent home to start the adoption process so parts wouldn’t have to be repeated.  (Major set-back and heartache)
• God provided overly and abundantly the perfect home for us, and made that process happen very quickly!  (however because of reassessing finances we were then set back a bit more while we figured things out)
• We got to where financially we felt ready to start the process finally!!  We went to apply, and found out the Thailand program was shut down.    (Major set-back and heartache and questioning God after so much what his plan was for our family… and questioning his timing)
• We then decided God was calling us to go ahead and move towards doing a Waiting Child only application.   These are children that are harder to place, that are advocated for with a photolisting.  The process is a bit different for matching, and things tend to move a lot faster at the start.   This was a major step of faith for us.   We were trusting God with everything…. Stepping out on deep waters knowing that he would hold us up.   We were completely unsure about everything.   What if this child had major medical issues that we would face expense for?  What if we wouldn’t be the best of parents for the child? Were we really ready?   So many what if’s.   Somehow we had a feeling that maybe just maybe he was leading us this way for a reason- that this was the direction we needed to go to find the particular child that He has for us.  

Friends this was a Bumpy Road thus far.  

We are weak. We are sinful.   It was full of crying out to God, not understanding.    Questioning what was going on when all we could see is a shut door in front of our face.   

But God had a plan. 

A perfect Plan

A plan that he so carefully wrote, wove, and set into motion.  A story that the God and Creator of the universe scripted; an enormous and lovingly elaborate story of love, provision, and salvation.  All he asked was that we step out in faith and trust. 

If any of those things hadn’t happened…. It wouldn’t bring us to today.   To this special time.  It wouldn’t have brought us to her. 

He is loving and He is faithful.

We are Matched!

There is a beautiful baby girl across the world that is our daughter!!  And we are in love.  

So blessed, and so thankful!

For those that want to know more about that story…

The past two weeks have been crazy!  

We really didn’t expect this to happen so fast, but we found a child we were very interested in and felt drawn to, so we requested her file.  We felt very comfortable with her particular needs.  If we chose to move on and pursue her then we were asked to get a medical consult.  We proceeded with the medical consult, and felt very comfortable with it, and decided to move on.   The next step in the process were several pages of essay questions which we marched through, a phone call with a sweet social worker that was a bit over an hour long interview, followed by a selection committee meeting. 

We weren’t sure if any other families were pursuing also pursuing her at this time, but the selection committee decides the best fit for the child.   We were also told that the committee could just decide that you need to do more research on a topic or be interviewed for more information before they meet again to discuss matching the child- this usually always happens for any first time parents.  We really didn’t expect an answer right away.

But then we received a call yesterday, the call that made us parents.  The call that said that sweet little girl is ours.  And we are still blown away. 

Our file is officially with the Korea program now! Yay we know our country!!  And we have a mountain of things on the to do list!  That might be an understatement.   But that’s ok… because this…

Hang in there little girl! We’re coming for you!

Adoption T-Shirts For Sale Now!

Yall, I'm Sooooo excited about these!!!      One of the big things we knew wanted to do for fundraising for this adoption from the start was T-Shirt Sales.   Mainly because we have a friend that works at Fund the Nations, an awesome company that designs shirts specifically for Adoption and Missions Fundraisers.  We contacted them earlier this week to start designing our one of a kind Adoption T!

[As a side note- We started to wait and do T-Shirt sales a bit later since we at this time aren't even sure about the specifics regarding country, but we decided to go ahead; Here's Why:  We reeeeeeally want a big push in February to be able to get started ASAP on our adoption: the home study and the rest that comes soon after.  With the way our adoption might go (Waiting Child Process rather than matching with a child), there's a pretty big chance we will be needing to raise a lot of funds ASAP which is scary and daunting.  So, rethinking it, we kind of figured... why not.]


 The shirts are a little less specific (since we don't know our child's country or gender etc. just yet)  But we reeeeeally like  LOVE this design and hope you do too!!

~~The basis of these shirts come from a song based on Peter's adventure walking on water; how Jesus called him out to walk on the ocean and became more and completely dependent on Him through that process.  The song has definitely become our theme song throughout this adoption process thus far, and I hope it will hold special meaning for you as well! We are trusting this is God's calling, having faith that he will provide throughout this process, as well as being grateful that he is growing our faith so incredibly much. We CAN NOT WAIT to see what else he has in store for us on this crazy adventure, and WE CAN NOT WAIT to meet and love our future little one.

Without further ado... Here is a picture of our shirt!

Cost is $20 each.

They are V-Neck and Extra Soft which is super nice!!

Color is dark grey with white writing as seen above.

Sizes include: S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL
(Size XXXL is $2 Extra and only available in crew neck)
** Because they are the extra soft type I am told that they fit a little snug, so if you are between sizes go with the larger!**

NOTE THAT: We are selling using a pre-order right now.  You can just tell us how many, which size, and pay by cash or check, and we'll order all of the shirts at once at a little bit later date.  If you would rather pay with a card you can do so by paying with the paypal tab in the upper right corner-just be sure to designate to us in a message what it was for and your information.  We are going to try to order at the end of this month!

• Corinth: For those in my home town of Corinth we don't have the details worked out yet, but we will also deliver the shirts there for a pick up on a certain day. It will most likely be a week or so after we receive them. More details to come when we see when we'll be able to order, and how many orders are from the area.

• Out of Town: We will also ship if that's more convenient for you or if you live out of town! If you need them shipped there will just be an additional $5 fee per shirt for shipping.

Thank You!! Thanks as always for your continued support through this process! Thanks for being a part of our lives and our future little one's life. Thanks for helping them come to a loving family. Thanks for being a village and caring.  Thanks for obeying the call that God places on every Christian's heart to care for orphans. Thanks from the bottom of these future momma and daddy's hearts.  Thanks!
