Dear Friends and Family,
Please know that if you are seeing
this you are very important to our family. You have played a role in our past,
our present, and we are asking you to join us in our future. We are asking you
to join us on a very special journey we have embarked on! Even when we were
dating we both knew that we were called to adopt and that someday God would add
a child to our family through this process. We are excited to say that God has
not only led us to begin the adoption process, but we have already accepted the
referral of a precious 2 year old boy from the Democratic Republic of Congo!
We
are humbled to be called to this journey. Although we know that not everyone is
called to take an orphan into their home we are asking that you would join with
us in this journey in whatever way God leads you to do so. First of all, we ask
for prayer. Specifically for the following:
·
For
God to direct our path
·
That
any red tape would be removed and paperwork could be completed in a speed that
could only be attributed to God. Because our son has already been matched with
us we need to move extra fast!
·
For
funds to complete our adoption
Secondly
and just as important, we would humbly like to ask for financial support. As
you probably know adoption is expensive. In order for this adoption to go
forward, we need to have somewhere around $28,000-$30,000. We are working very
hard to save our own money, hold fundraisers, have garage sales etc. to collect
funds, however we are asking you to partner with us in any way you can. We
can’t do this without you! Some of the ways you can help are:
·
Join our 1,000 friends campaign: Do you know ten
people (or more), that we may not know who are willing to give $10 (just two
trips to starbucks) to help bring our son home?
·
Do you own a small business, etsy shop etc.?
–consider donating a portion of your proceeds. We would be happy to offer you
lots of FREE advertising on our blog!
·
Do you have a blog? - share our blog
with others. We are using Google ads on our blog
as a way to raise funds as well, every time someone clicks on an add we earn!
·
Do you drink coffee? - We have partnered with just love coffee. You can find their
information on our blog as well.
·
We will be holding a garage sale in the coming
months- do you have things you could donate? Contact us and we will coordinate
with you!
·
Do you have airline miles you are willing to donate? This can be a
huge help with air fare! Let us know and we will provide you with our airline
advantage numbers.
·
Did you know that you can make a tax deductible
donation?!
Simply make your check of any amount out to European Adoption Consultants and
add our names to the memo line. Then please mail the check to us. We will send
it directly to our agency. You will receive a letter in the mail from European
Adoption Consultants for your donation.
·
We also have a PayPal link on our blog
. Simply click on the link
on the right side and donate to our adoption.
We have
created this blog to help us document our journey so feel free to follow along.
Please click on the link to the right to follow our blog! As soon as we are
given the ok we will be debuting our handsome little man’s picture for the
world to see! We believe
deeply in this call, and we ask boldly for your financial, and prayer support.
Without our community we won’t be able to do this emotionally, physically, or
financially. Thank you again for your support and
prayers!
With love, Kelly, Taylor, Tatum and Blakely Brewer
