We thought you might be interested to know a little about the adoption process and know where your donations are going. :)

 1) Finger Printing/Background Check                                                           
 2) 16 hours of training
 3) CPR Class
 4) Home Study
 5)Gas and possibly lodging (we will be visiting our children a few times, so they will get comfortable with us.)
  6) Attorney Fees

       We are figuring that this will cost around $6,000. If we end up receiving more than we need for the adoption process, then the extra money will be going towards clothing and necessities for our adopted children. We have been told that they will pretty much just have the shirts on their backs. I encourage you again to watch the video on the main page of this site, so you know what our children in waiting are going through. Help us show them love.  <3 Thank you!!!! 
                                                          
 

The day is finally here! It's our very first fundraiser! We have made necklaces to fund the adoption! They are only $25 and shipping is free! The chain is 36 inches long, but you can shorten them by cutting the chain down while unfastened. If you would like us to make them into keychains instead, let us know! Keychains are $15. Contact us through email(below) or Facebook message if you would like to buy a 1 Life Changed Necklace or Keychain to bring the next Dodge Kiddo(s) home! :) The easiest way to buy one is to go to our donate page and donate the amount through our fundly.com adoption fund account. Make sure to contact us and let us know where to ship your item. If you prefer to send cash or check, please contact us as well. Thank you! :)

We have been praying and praying about our future children and have been asking God to lead us to wherever He wants to lead. He has given us a lot of information and heart toward a way we knew nothing about..... Adoption through Foster Care. It's an often overlooked blessing! We strongly believe this is where God is leading us. Did you know that you do not have to be a foster parent to adopt from the foster system?? We sure didn't! Did you also know that the cost of adoption through this avenue is significantly less than all the other ways of adoption?? We had no idea!  Please be praying with us as God opens the doors that He has planned for us and please be praying for our future children! 

We are making necklaces and keychains with "LOVE + ACTION = 1 LIFE CHANGED" stamped onto the metal.  All proceeds will be going toward funding the adoption.  If anyone has suggestions feel free to contact us or leave a comment below.  :) Be sure to check back for pictures very soon!

We received the first donation through our Fundly.com site! Someone gave $25 anonymously! Thank you soooo very much!!!! We greatly appreciate you!! Thanks to you we are another step closer to changing a life! :D
