Home

Although there are still limitations on what we can say publicly, we have been beyond blessed by the sweet and tender care our Sweet Three have received in the interim years between their first home and soon our adoptive home. Later I can rave on and on with specific details, but for now let me say that they aren't in an "orphanage" with all of the connotations that word entails. They are in a HOME, a beautiful and God-loving home filled with people who are called to minister to His children. They have been so deeply loved and cared for, advocated for, and prayed over for the past almost three and a half years in this blessed place. We still just marvel at the fact that God has orchestrated this story in this way and we are bringing them from a place where they have learned so much and deepened their faith, a place where they are taught the exact same principles and beliefs that Emma and Kelsey were taught, and in the exact same ways.

We have considered ways to give back to these beautiful people and this incredible institution. I'm sure that there will be lots of future connections between us and this ministry, but we want to thank them now for all that they have done for our kiddos. Kraig and I are doing shirts for the staff and possibly the children there and taking them when we go. We asked about things we could bring and found out that often, adoptive parents bring a monetary gift instead and take their new sons/daughters out to shop for orphanage needs. This fulfills a twofold purpose, allowing adoptive families to give back to the orphanage and also allowing the adoptive children to have a buy-in as well and invest in the process to leave needed items to be used by those they shared a home and table with. I loved this idea as soon as they told us, and we would love to sow into their ministry alongside F, R, and A. 

Therefore, we have started a Pass the Hat fundraiser. We tip our hat to the orphanage that has cared so tenderly for our Precious Three and so we want to use the first proceeds from our brand new products, hats and visors, made with For Such a Time's new hat press! We can do low profile baseball caps, trucker hats, and visors. All are $15 and we can put just about any vinyl design on them. To order, email hat style, color, vinyl design, and color for the vinyl to forsuchatimecreations414@gmail.com with "Orphanage Fundraiser" in the subject line. We would like to sell 200 hats, caps, or visors through this fundraiser. Will you help?
