One Less

We are all called to care for orphans!  Does this mean we are all called to adopt? Nope, but we can certainly help others who are!  Thank you for those of you who have donated and prayed for our adoption!

Tonight I came across this Etsy shop and fell in love with what I saw there! Even more than the items, I loved the reason for this shop!  By shopping with The Adopt Shoppe, customers are able to help this family bring home their child! I love that!  I especially love this item because of the verse that has been on our hearts throughout this journey.

Proverbs 3:5 Necklace

and this too - a great reminder on those hard days!

I encourage you to check out this shop - 208 amazing items to choose from!  All so there is ONE LESS child waiting to experience the love of a family!

No news is...

...well, no news!

Just wanted to let you know we are all still here! ;) and still in need of your continued prayers and support!  We are in the process of looking into more fundraisers (especially ones that don't require upfront costs) and also currently applying for a couple of grants, so please be in prayer for that.  We still don't know how or when, but we do KNOW God will provide and in His perfect timing.  Please also be praying for our future child's health as well as his or her birth family for their strength, health, and safety! 

We have been so blessed in the year 2011. We can't wait to see how God continues to stretch us and provide for us.  We are looking forward to 2012 and seeing what He has in store for the Dean family!

Love you guys!
