It has been a long time since our last child was born, but I remember the moment when the doctor finally said, “Okay, Push!” After months of expectation and preparing, our daughter was about to be born and we could not have been happier.
Well, adoption is kind of a crazy pregnancy. It is longer, more expensive, and Monica tells me it is more painful. We have come to the last days in this adoption "pregnancy" and it is time to push.
On December 20th we received our I-600 approval from the American embassy in Ghana and we are in the process of securing our childrens visas. Once this happens, hopefully some time in the next four weeks, we will be able to fly over and finally bring them home!
That is where we need your help. We have approximately $8,600 left to raise for the visas, and the trip to get the kids and bring them home. We have 2 round trip tickets to purchase and three one way tickets which is the bulk of the remaining cost. In order to raise this money we are asking you to consider helping by either purchasing a T-shirt, or making a donation. The shirts are $20 plus $2 shipping. You can select either a white shirt or black.
We have been thrilled to watch God provide the needed funds throughout this adoption and trust He will this time also. We are so thankful for all of your prayers and encouragement along the way. It has been an amazing journey and we know that it is just beginning!
If you are able to help we would be grateful and so would our children.
Thanks and God bless,
Robert, Monica, Hope, Elizabeth, Grace, Katy-Jane, & Luke Whitney
