Sadly, It looks like China just isn't going to happen for us. The bottom line is the money.
Too many financial roadblocks have closed the door. It breaks my heart.
Thank-you to all who have supported us. This has been a very difficult time.
Please keep us in prayer.
Act II: China
This is our official website to update our families and friends regarding our adoption journey to our child in China. We hope you enjoy it. Love, Dave and Kari

FUND- RAISERS.....
We have started fundraisers to help pay adoption expenses.
1. The "Chip-in" donation button. If you would like to help us financially you just click the button on the right side of this page. Your gifts are blessings to a child who currently sits in an orphanage dreaming of having a family and to us- the family that hopes to have her home this year. Thank-you!
2. The "Just Love Coffee" fundraiser. Here is a websight where you can buy some really excellent coffee- I have tried several varieties and find them delicious. The coffees are all free-trade and the company is owned and operated by a fellow adoptive parent who knows how hard it can be to raise the money needed to do an adoption. $5.00 of every bag comes to us.
3. Prayer: Please keep us in prayer as we continue this journey. Our Holy father knows our needs and has infinate ability and resources to make this happen. He will provide all that is necessary to complete this journey from the finances to the emotional stamina.
I have more ideas and fund- raisers to come.
Please come back and see how we are doing and what we are up to.
Your comments and thoughts are welcome.
Thank- you!!

Some Ramblings:
We are LID almost 64 months ago--- That is more than 5 years ago.
We did an interim adoption from Kazakhstan and brought home 2 beautiful children who we love to pieces.
We are broke.
Lets face it- the gift we are able to provide and receive throught adoption doesn't come cheap, especially from Kazakhstan.
Our China agency is calling. We need to start the paperwork update/redo process before our number comes up (my best guess is 8-12 months) if we are going to continue.
Kazakhstan was an INTERIM adoption. Not a replacement adoption.
I know a child waits for us in China.
Somehow this has to happen.
My request...
PLEASE PRAY FOR US!
We need divine guidance.

We will be announcing "A Chocolate and Coffee Party" to indroduce all our friends to a delicious free-trade coffee we are selling through Just-love-coffee roasted coffee as a fundraiser for our adoption from China. Please consider buying some and telling your friends about it. Every bag sold earns us $5.00 toward our China adoption. I have tried the sunshine blend and am working my way through some other blends. They are really good!
A BIG thank-you in advance.

Tonight I anxiously await a call from Kaitlin. She is due to have her baby on Sunday. I know it could be anytime between now and 2 weeks from now. I don't wish that on her. She was late- 9 days late and I remember how miserable I was waiting for her. Although it was 90 everday and now the weather is quite tolerable.
However, there is a full moon tonight and that should get something started!?
Stay tuned...
