31 Fundraiser

As many of you know, our adoption is going to cost around $30,000. Although we have paid some, raised money, and received donations, we still have quite a ways to go. I mentioned two summer fundraisers that we are having, and this is the information about the first one!

Our friend, Teresa, has offered to give 100% of the consultants commission from her 31 party to our adoption. These bags are super cute and very nice! I own one of the larger totes, and it is great for work and traveling!  My sister got one of these bags for her wedding shower, and used it for all her beach stuff on their honeymoon. Many of my friends use them as diaper bags, and lots of my students have the lunch bags. So whether you are shopping for yourself or for someone else, please come checkout these bags!

Shop online. THIS IS A GREAT OPTION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN'T MAKE ANY OF OUR LOCAL FUNDRAISERS!

 Please click on the link below. Make sure that the event says Fundraiser for Baby Woodson. Please make sure to have all your orders placed by June 20th.  Please share this link with others! Please make sure when you are shopping online, you order under the party that says "Fundraiser for Baby Woodson". If you do not order under this party, we will not receive the commission.

Parting the Sea Walking on Dry Land Kind of Prayers

Most of you who follow our story have seen that I have slowly been sharing about the trip. I have told many of you that it was the best and worst trip of my entire life. It truly was an emotional rollercoaster. Many of you have been private messaging us, calling us, and texting us and asking us, "What is next? How do we pray? When are you going back? What is the timeline?" First of all, I have to stop and say once again we are so blessed to have such faithful, loving, and supportive friends and family. Seriously, you have no idea what you all have meant to us and how you have truly impacted our lives and this process. I know many of you have been so sensitive and cautious of how to approach us and love us, and we want you to know that everything you have done has not been overlooked, and we are sorry if we haven't truly expressed our gratitude in ways that confirm our love and appreciation to you. I am a woman, so I am guilty of spider webbing (going off on another

Not Easy-Different.

The other day, I had a pregnant friend tell me that I was doing it the easy way in referring to adoption. I know she wasn't meaning to at all, but this truly hurt my feelings because she clearly doesn't understand what I am facing. I simply said, " I don't know about that", and I walked away trying to fight back tears. I am not pregnant and have never been pregnant, so I don't feel like I really have the place to compare the two. We are hoping one day after we bring baby Woodson home that I will be pregnant, and I will give you my thoughts. I think that no matter how you come to be a mother that there our challenges that you have to face. Though they may look different, it doesn't mean that one way is easier than another. I understand that I may not be experiencing morning sickness, and my feet aren't swelling (even though they probably will on a 16-18 hour flight). I understand that my belly isn't growing (well, maybe it is but that's anothe

The "Lucky" Misconception

The other day a friend said something that struck me, and I thought it would be an interesting and maybe challenging topic to write about. One of our friends had asked us how old Zane was and after we told him, he said that's good. Maybe he will remember his life before you guys and be way more appreciative. I understood where he was coming from, and I know he wasn't trying to be offensive, but it just pained me when I heard this. I know people don't mean anything negative by it, but I think there is a misunderstanding about adoption. Often I hear Zane is so lucky. Zane will be so grateful.  I want to set the record straight. We hope to raise Zane in a way where he will see the goodness and blessings that our family has received. He will be involved in community projects and world projects at a young age. Ethiopia will be a common subject, and we hope to find ways to give back to his village and his country. But please understand this. We (Jeffrey and I) are
