Lifesong for Orphans is an incredible organization whose mission is to “bring joy and purpose to orphans.” They provide food, clothes, schooling, discipleship and support to orphans all over the world. They also partner with adoptive parents, like us, offering matching grants and interest free loans. At this point we’re not sure if we qualify for a matching grant or not (we’ll find out soon), but in the mean time Lifesong will be accepting all financial donations on our behalf. Meaning, if you were going to help support our adoption, checks and money can be sent to Lifesong, with our name in the memo line. They will collect the money for us, and send you receipts for tax purposes. And, if we do qualify for that matching grant, then all the money donated to our Lifesong account would be doubled!
So, if you’re willing and able to help us bring baby girl home, here is where you can make a donation:

Lifesong for Orphans (with our name in the memo line)

On the PayPal screen, please indicate where you'd like your donation to go.
Our goal is to raise $5,000 to help fund our second trip to Ethiopia. And we truly appreciate everyone who has already and is going to help support us financially. If fact, we want everyone that helps with our adoption fund to also help us with a little art project. We have a stack of 4x4 canvases and we would like you to paint/decorate them however you chose. Use paint, crayons, pencil, newspaper, hot glue, scrapbook paper, photographs – whatever you like! There are no rules or guidelines, anything goes! We just ask that you sign the back and then return it to us so we can hang them in her room. We want this “canvas collage” to be a representation of how many people care for her before they even knew her.
