Grants!

We have been very blessed during this adoption process in that God has provided money through many ways. Adoption is expensive and we knew that from the beginning. We have worked hard to save money and even harder to fill out many adoption grants (it is more paperwork than buying a house :) We received a Show Hope grant last fall. (This is the grant started by Stephen Curtis Chapman and his wife.) Early this year, we were contacted by David Shannon (a very dear friend who works with the Mt. Juliet Congregation near Nashville.) Every year, the congregation collects money for a family who is adopting. This year they chose us. What a wonderful blessing!
We also received a grant from JSC a few weeks ago and then today we received another grant from Hand in Hand. However this grant is a little different. They will match what our friends and family donate. We still owe around $8,000. If you would like to be a part of this matching grant opportunity please let me know. I will be sending out a few letters but if you are willing to help please let me know so that I can be sure to send you a letter. This donation is tax deductible.
You can email me at: womack11@charter.net if you would like to help.
Please continue to pray as we prepare to travel!!
