Eat Mor Chikin!

Okay, folks, we are having our first fundraiser this Thursday night, April 2, from 5:00 to 8:00 at the Chick-Fil-A in Brentwood. We are so thankful that the adoption process is moving so quickly, but because of that, we need to raise the money even more quickly! Soooo...if you eat at Chick-Fil-A in Brentwood this Thursday night, the manager will donate a percentage of the sales to help fund our adoption as well as the adoption of our good friends, the Francises. Our whole family will be there, and you might even catch Danny in an apron and serving food! We would love to see you all and give you a big hug! Hope to see you there! Remember...Eat Mor Chickin! We'll be sure and post pictures from that night as soon as we can.

We just filed our I600 A over the weekend (that was a big one!). We are still waiting on custody papers from Uganda. If things continue to move along, we are looking at mid-summer to bring Asher home! Please pray that the process will go as smoothly as possible, that paper work will flow quickly, and that we can bring Asher home in early summer. We continue to get emails from some dear people who have volunteered at Amani. They have blessed us with stories and pictures of Asher from the time he first came to the orphanage...priceless stories and pictures that we will cherish forever. We haven't even met the little guy, but we feel like we already know him. I think some of that is from the stories, and some of that is from God Himself. Like I said earlier, it's hard to explain, but there is now this empty place in our family that Asher is meant to fill. I think it's just God's way of preparing our family for this new arrival.

I'll post again on Thursday with pictures from our Chick-Fil-A Fundraiser. If you're from this area, we'd love to see you!

Blessings,

  1. Hi Dana,
    Thank you so much for your encouraging words. It is so nice to know that other people understand the waiting too. It will be so worth it. We will be praying for your family as you try to raise funds really quickly to meet your sweet Asher. He is beautiful!!! Congratulations. I love the way God is growing so many families through adoption. He's so good!!
