As you know, we're working on getting all the kids sponsored again this Christmas. Nikki had the brilliant idea of starting a Target registry. Isn't that a great idea? This week I'm going to get it started and sent to Nikki. After she adds/deletes items and gets it finalized I'll post it here.
For those of you who want to sponsor specific kids, I'll email you their wish-list. The items will also be listed on the registry.
The beauty of the registry is that you can forward it to everyone you know and ask them to pick a few items to ship. My goal is to exceed the items on the list. Let's overwhelm Nick when he goes to the airport each Thursday to pick up the mail. I want him to scratch his head and think, "How am I going to get all this back to COTP?" I love it when my evil schemes are actually for the greater good.
Click. Ship. A Christmas they'll never forget.

On a different note, I want to get the word out about a special boy who's currently in Port-au-Prince, but will soon be at Children of the Promise. Please check out this blog: He sets the orphan free.
Maybe you aren't at a place in your life where you'd consider adoption. Maybe it's been tugging at your heart and now's the time to explore. Maybe you know someone who would make the greatest parent to Moses. Please read this post and forward it to everyone you know.
If you want to adopt but you're scared about the cost, please email me. We live on a single income and we're paying for our adoption completely. We aren't taking out loans. We aren't borrowing money. And we certainly aren't rich. There's this amazing thing that happens. When you accept that tug on your heart, that whisper in your ear, that postcard...God provides.
I didn't give you the gift of life.
But in my heart I know.
The love I feel is deep and real.
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
is like a dream come true.
No, I didn't give you the gift of life.
Life gave me the gift of you.
