Rob, Caleb and I got up early this morning and made our way to the Indianapolis Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to be fingerprinted for our adoption. Needless to say, we had never been there before. It was a happy day bringing us one step closer to our little one.
The waiting sometimes makes her seem like a dream to me. I know she exist because I have pictures, videos and a huge spot in my heart for her but yet often I find myself wondering if this really will happen. But while we wait, we have almost completed her room. It is so cute! Emily outdid herself again painting and sketching until it was perfect! Her little clothes are all folded and hanging in her closet. All awaiting her arrival!
We continue to raise funds for the mountain of expenses that still are ahead of us. Here are a few ways you can help if the Lord leads:
1. We have an account set up at Lifesongfororphans.org that donations may be made on our behalf. All donations are tax deductible. Please use our account number: Edwards/#2406 when online. Or donations may be mailed to:
Lifesong for Orphans
PO Box 40/ 202 N. Ford St.Gridley, IL 61744
lifesongfororphans.org
All donations will be put towards our puzzle that we are completing. Each sponsored piece will have your name on it so Sophie will one day know the names of everyone who helped bring her home!
2. We also have an account set up with Ordinary Hero where lots of cool merchandise can be purchased with 40% of all sales benefiting Sophia’s adoption expenses. Make sure to click Rachel Edwards in the Affiliate box when checking out. Not only will your purchase benefit us now but we could also win a $500 grant! Three grants will be awarded to the affiliate who sells the most between the dates of Nov. 4 to Nov. 13! So, go! Start your Christmas shopping and change the world one heartbeat at a time!!!
Thank you once again for your continued support and prayers. It has carried us through some very dark and scary times!
God bless,
Rachel
