The biggest challenge is not opening our hearts and home to a child, but it is finding the finances to make this
happen. The estimated total cost for the adoption is around $30,000. Yes. That is a big number.
But...Our God asks us to pray big prayers and He will move mountains.
We know God is faithful and is leading us to trust Him. So that's what we're doing....daily.
Please pray and consider helping us in one or two ways with our adoption. If you have already given, we humbly thank you.
1. Please pray God would tenderly care for our daughter and her orphanage until we can bring her home, and prepare us and our other children for the upcoming changes. Pray God would heal her and protect her!
2. A local adoption ministry in our area called Tapestry of Irving Bible Church, has partnered with Lifesong for Orphans and committed an Adoption Matching Grant of $2500 to help pay our adoption expenses! We are so grateful! Will you please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us meet this matching grant and cover the remaining amount needed to bring our child home? Our goal date is May 31, but funds will be accepted until the adoption is complete.
Please make checks payable to "Lifesong for Orphans". In the memo, note "family account 6646" and "family name Martin" to assure it goes to the correct account. Please mail to Lifesong for Orphans, PO Box 40, Gridley IL 61744. Lifesong has been blessed with a partner that underwrites all US administrative and fundraising costs (TMG Foundation and other partners). That means 100% of your donation will go directly to the adoption. Another option is to give online. Go to www.lifesongfororphans.org/give/donate. Select "Give to an Adoptive Family." Complete the online form and fill in "Family Account Number, 6646" and "Family Name, Martin" fields.
In following IRS guidelines, your donation is to the named non-profit organization. This organization retains full discretion over its use, but intends to honor the donor's suggested use. Individual donations of $50 or more and yearly donations totaling $250 or more will receive a tax-deductible receipt. Receipts for donations under $50 will gladly be sent upon request. Lifesong is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization.
Thank you for investing in the Kingdom through prayer and finances; it will be an investment with an eternal return!
