How You Can Help
1) Prayer and Support
More than anything else, we could use as much prayer and support as we can get from our family and friends! We know this is going to be a long road, filled with lots of emotions, but we are excited to expand our family with the addition of our daughter. Despite the fact we will not "birth" her, our "gestation period" will be much longer than 9 months, and we know at times the wait will be difficult. We ask that you stand with us and encourage us when we may lose sight of the road set before us. We ask that you pray for Jordan and Sebastian as they process this transition and the changes that comes with it. We ask that you pray for Olivia during this wait...for her health, safety and grace as she also goes through this process with us; that God would prepare her heart to accept us as her family.
Romans 8:28 - "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
2) Promote our Fundraisers!
We have a few fundraisers underway and would love for you to help us get the word out! We will be posting updates and information on the blog as well as Bettina's Facebook page, so please share, share, share! We know that without the help of our community it will be very hard for us to reach our goal to bring her home as soon as we can! Thank you in advance for your willingness to help, and any other ideas are always welcome!
3) Contribute
With any adoption there is a great financial obligation that comes with it. While we wish we were able to pay for it all on our own, we know that is an unrealistic goal. We have been humbled in the thought of having to ask so many people to give of their time, talents and resources, but have been amazed at the love and support we've already received. If you feel led to financially contribute to our adoption there are currently a few ways to do so:
1) Click the "donate" button on our blog to contribute through Paypal
2) Send us a check directly (e-mail us at bettina.stevens@gmail.com for our home address)
3) Donate through Adopt a Love Story (tax-deductible option): link coming soon!
4) Buy a piece of furniture! (current brochure with pricing is linked on the right side of the blog - download for best picture quality)
Philippians 4:19 - "And my God will supply all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus."
Thank you for walking beside us in this journey!
