Adoption Update

ADOPTION UPDATE (sorry if it gets lengthy):

- We are about thirty days from flying to China. Should be able to fly out 1/1/2016. Please pray with us for ticket prices. I just got quotes yesterday. Some looked good and some were astronomical.

- We have had to resend (AGAIN...for like the THIRD time) our paperwork concerning the waiver. I am still working on certifications of the document here in the U.S. So it is not even to CHINA yet. Much less approved. If it does not get approved then we will have to pull together an additional $5800 at the last minute. Whew...breathe, momma. PLEASE join us in praying specifically for this to come through.

- We have made room for John Preston in our family closet. Can I tell you how good that feels? Now to fill his cubbies with clothes. We have had some sweet friends send us things for him and now I need to get busy with all of the basics. I do not want to buy too much until I know for sure what size he is. Just enough to get him home.

- Excited that it is time to get his booster seat for the car. I already bought new ones for Ellie and Ethan so we can rearrange the seats to make room for our sweet boy. It is TIGHT but oh, so cozy. ;-)

- We need to start making plans for a friend to come and stay with the girls at our home while Bryan is at work each day. (Probably 6:30 am to 4:30pm) If this is something you might could help with, please let me know. My momma heart is aching at the thought of leaving MinLan especially and I want these two weeks to be as smooth as possible for her. We have poured ourselves into attachment with her for the last year and a half and are praying that we do not take huge steps backwards because Ellie and I leave for two weeks.

- I know everyone is in Christmas mode, instead of adoption fundraiser mode but I feel strongly that I need to press forward towards raising this $5800 in the event our waiver is denied. Have we done a fundraiser that you would like to see us do again? Something you missed out on? So many fundraisers have been done to death in our adoption community so I hesitate but I am willing to do whatever. I am looking for ideas that can knock this out quickly in a big way. We have very little time left and I'll be honest, that my brain is in a million different places. If we raise additional funds and then receive our waiver, we will donate to another Reece's Rainbow family adopting a little one with Down syndrome that is close to travel and not fully funded. If you want to make a tax-deductible donation, you can at any time to John Preston's Reece's Rainbow account. He is listed here as "Timothy": http://reecesrainbow.org/88597/sponsorparris-2

- In closing, we covet your prayers. For God to provide for us with this waiver, for health for all of us as we prepare to travel, for MinLan to not suffer setbacks from us being gone, for John Preston's heart to be prepared to join our family and for Bryan as he coordinates life here at home and work while I am gone.

God is faithful. He has proven it over and over again to me, even when I am filled with doubt. Today, after crunching adoption finances, is one of those doubt filled days. The devil uses days like today to weaken my resolve...to make me doubt my sanity...he is the master of lies....he wants us to believe there is no way that this will all work out...he wants us to believe that God will not provide...he wants us to believe that the addition of our son to our family will be chaos....but we know better. We know that God is a God of order and not chaos. We know that He has plans to prosper us AND John Preston...to give us hope and a future.

That future begins when we step on that plane, take John Preston's hand, and bring him home. Forever. He is a son. An heir. With all rights and privileges that come with the status as a son. He is so loved. We are racing to get to him. We are prepared to march through any hurdle the devil puts before us. This momma wants her boy home. NOW. <3

John Preston Update

We got an update today on John Preston! Praise the Lord! We got one recently but the pictures were all the size of postage stamps! ACK!!!!

1. Height and weight

height 121 cm = 47 inches

weight 20 kg = 44 pounds

head 49 cm = 19 inches

chest 58 cm = 22 inches

foot 19 cm = 7.48 inches

teeth 17

In case you are wondering, his measurements are almost EXACTLY Roo's measurements. Though he does look taller in the pics and videos to me.

2. His current sleep arrangements. Does he sleep in a bed alone? Does he sleep with a foster sibling or foster mom? He goes to bed at 9:00pm and gets up at 7:00am. He goes to bed by himself but shares bed with another foster child.

3. His favorite song? All music. He will dance once hearing music.

4. His favorite foods? He can eat most things but does not like sweet food, bread or bun. He likes soft food.

5.  What is he afraid of? Not found.

6. Does he know we are coming for him? Foster parents have been teaching him. He has some idea and can accept it.

Click here if you'd like to donate to help us get our son HOME!!!

We are so thankful for everyone who has helped us get this far!  We have anywhere from $14,000 to $20,000 to go by December 8th to bring him home.

Possible Travel Scenarios

On October 15th we received our LOA!!!!! Wooohoooooo!!!!! This is China asking us if we accept John Preston as our son. 

Uhhhmmmmm......YES WE DO!!!!! 

So now is crunch time. We have two different funding scenarios and we are not sure how either will work out.

Scenario #1

China grants our waiver request and we still owe about $14,000 to get John Preston home.

Scenario #2

China does NOT grant our waiver request and we owe about $20,000 to get John Preston home.

Can you guess which one we are praying for?

The way the calendar is playing out right now, we should most likely get travel approval (TA) from China between 12/8 and 12/11.

At that point, China sends us an invitation to come and get John Preston. That is the date that we will have to decide if we have enough money to travel. If we do not have all of our funds at that point then, we will have to delay our trip. I just can't even wrap my mind around that right now. The thought of not traveling immediately when they say we can is heartbreaking. 

But God has been so faithful to us. We started with zero dollars towards his adoption and God has brought us over $12,000 closer to getting him home. I just can't even comprehend how faithful God has been!

Please help us by sharing our story and donating if you feel led. We know that we can not do this without you. 

Love,
Jenifer

The Finish Line

Well...here we are...October the 1st. I have missed checking in with you during the day this month but it has been a good break. Got a minute? I'd love to share a few things with you. This will be long, but I love you...please hang with me. <3

We took September off from actively fundraising and selling anything for our adoption. I feel like it gave me focus and helped me regroup. I really thought about things we might offer you, that you would be interested in and that would also help us get John Preston home.

In the next few days, I will share about several fundraisers that will run concurrently.

First, we are hosting a Diffuser Necklace Fundraiser. This is right up the alley of all my oily friends. You drop your essential oils on the pendant, place around your neck and your oils go with you. I have been wearing Lavender around my next for the past two weeks. If you know me, you know what it is for but I don't think the FDA will let me tell you. ;-) I encourage you to get one of these not only for yourself but for your kids. What an easy way to help them! My oily business friends, these would be a great gift for friends you have enrolled. I know I have TONS of friends that use essential oils. This would be such a huge tangible way you could help us AND help your family. We have a REALLY ambitious goal for this fundraiser and we need your help!

Here are all the details:

http://jeniferparris.com/2015/10/01/diffuser-necklace-fundraiser/

Next we will be putting together another soap order. I can not tell you how much I love these soaps. And everyone that buys them from us loves them too. We are constantly being asked when we are placing another order. We need to get them ordered soon so they will arrive and have time to be cut and dried to use as Christmas gifts. Please consider helping us with this fundraiser when it is shared in the next few days. All soaps will be pre-payment orders and we'd love for you to help us when the time comes by getting the word out. I expect to have all the details ready sometime tomorrow.

We will also be hosting an iPad Mini Giveaway. You'll have the chance to donate $10 per chance. You can purchase as many chances as you'd like! This would a great Christmas gift or even a treat for yourself if you win! I'll be sharing details about it probably on Monday.

We have also been blessed with a matching grant. We are not allowed to give towards this grant...our friends and family make donations and then the organization matches them for up to $2000. So that would mean $4000 total to help bring John Preston home if we reach our goal. More details coming soon about this. If you want more information, please let me know.

Tax deductible donations can also be made anytime to help bring John Preston home in his Reece's Rainbow account at http://reecesrainbow.org/88597/sponsorparris-2

We have about $2100 left to be finished paying our agency fees and then we can begin to focus on travel expenses of about $13,000. I am praying that these fundraisers above help us knock out the agency bill in the next two weeks. Ambitious? Yes. But I serve a big God. We started this adoption process with nothing and God has met our needs right on time. Have we struggled? Yes. But who doesn't? Bryan reminds me of this constantly when my faith waivers. When I look at the numbers on paper and begin to wonder if God will make it happen in my time. Oh, how I want it to be in my timing. But God's timing is perfect. He is right on time. Pray for me specifically to stay strong, work hard and continue to have faith that God is going to meet us right where we need Him.

Can I tell you that the thought of traveling most likely towards the beginning of December has me wanting to jump up and down. We are not financially ready to go yet but my heart is. Our boy has waited over EIGHT years for a family to love him. EIGHT YEARS. If you have children, can you imagine missing that much time with them...missing all the milestones, not celebrating birthdays and holidays? We have a lot of time to make up for. We have a lot of love to give. John Preston is loved and wanted. He has a family waiting for him. Our family. He has siblings that are waiting on pins and needles to get him home. We have friends and family and a whole community of people who can not wait to love on him.

I know we are all stretched thin. Everytime we turn around money is needed for something..to pay a bill...a kid's sport equipment...school supplies. It never ends. I know. We are there too. Sometimes I wish a money tree would pop up in our backyard and I could play catch up on everything at once. But instead we do what we can each payday, much like you, I'm sure.

We do not take for granted even ONE dollar you have used to help us bring our son home. Not one dollar. We are so thankful. We could never really communicate to you how much it means when you purchase something we are selling to fundraise...or the times you have just made straight out donations...you just stopped and wrote a check to help us bring our son home. I know you could have spent your money on other things. I know you didn't have to help us. I know you helped because you love us and you love John Preston.

We need you. We need you to come alongside us. We knew in the beginning we could not do this alone. We need you to hold us up on days when it feels like it is harder than we can handle. We need you to hold us up when we are wondering where the next fee will come from. There are so many of you that have told us you are praying. That is exactly what we need. You standing in the gap for us.

We need our community...we need our church family...we need our ballet friends..our soccer friends...we need strangers. Anyone that agrees with what Scripture tells us in James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows their distress..."

Will you commit to pray with us?

Pray for John Preston's safety and health. Pray that his needs are met. Pray that he feels loved by his foster family and pray that his heart softens to begin to love us as much as we already love him.

Pray for the hearts of our children at home. Pray that God will protect their hearts form what potentially could be a very hard transition. MinLan came home as basically a baby. John Preston is going to bound in the door as an eight year old. Very different circumstances. Pray that our children already home, will know that family is forever...even in the hard days...pray that they will know that we love them, even when their new brother is likely to be taking a lot of our attention and time.

Pray for Bryan and I. That we will be strong...that we will work hard...that we, with God alone, can move these mountains to get our son home. Pray that our relationship stays strong and that we work together as one in the final two months especially.

Friends the time is here. I can see the finish line. And let me tell you...it is beautiful. I see that ribbon stretched across the horizon and I am sprinting. Running as hard as I can to our boy. Pray we don't stumble right before the end. Pray we stand tall and burst through that ribbon in victory with only the Lord receiving the glory. It is He and HE alone that has brought us here. No one else. He has been faithful.

Love,

Jenifer

Click HERE to see all of the designs we are offering! Go many great ones!

Information from the wholesaler of these diffuser necklaces.

• These diffuser necklaces are made from pure, chemical-free terra cotta clay.
• Terra cotta clay is the perfect diffusing medium for essential oils. Kiln-fired terra cotta clay is a very hard porous substance with tiny air pockets throughout. These air pockets hold the oil and slowly release it into the air around the pendant creating an oasis of aroma in the wearer’s personal breathing space.
• Lay the pendant flat and apply one drop of essential oil. Allow the oil to become completely absorbed into the clay. When the oil is completely absorbed, it is ready to wear.
• These pendants come with waxed cotton, sliding-knot cords which can be adjusted in length to approximately 38 cm (15 inches) to 76 cm (30 inches) long.
• Sizes: Round Pendants – 1 1/8 inches across; Oval Pendants – 1 1/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches; Rectangular Pendants – 1 1/8 inches by 1 7/8 inches. The Car Diffusers are 1 1/8 inches.
• 
  

I'm getting one for EACH of my kiddos and hubby....I have loved wearing mine already the last few weeks! This fundraiser begins Thursday, October 1st and ends Friday, October 9th. Our goal for these necklaces is AMBITIOUS!!! Hoping to sell 200 of these and to put a HUGE dent in the remaining fees we owe to our agency. We need your help though!!!!

John Preston Update

September is nearing an end.

One month marked off the calendar and closer to our boy coming home.

We are so encouraged each time you ask about him or ask about how close we are to meeting our financial goals to bring him home.

Thank you so much for loving us AND John Preston.

We can't wait for you to meet him and see his beautiful smiling face in person. You are going to love him.

In the beginning of the adoption process, you feel like you just have to get to the next thing.


What is the NEXT payment we have due?


What is the NEXT piece of paper I have to fill out?


Now that we are nearing the end, a large amount of money related to travel is due just about all at one time. It can be quite overwhelming to look at it on paper.


I know my God is larger than that number on the paper though.

But yet, I have to keep reminding myself.

I wanted to share below where we are financially.

It helps me to look at it and I wanted to share with so many of you who have asked.

• John Preston's Reece's Rainbow account was at $2752 when we committed to him.

• Since we have set up our FSP with Reece's Rainbow, others have donated $2003 to his account (after our matching grant is applied).

• We are asking John Preston's orphanage if they will waive his orphanage donation fee of $5700. This is a huge prayer need for us. If you want to pray specifically, please pray that his orphanage is willing to waive this. We will be submitting the request this week to our agency. It might be a while before we hear back.

• We have been offered a matching grant with an organization called Brittany's Hope. Basically, we raise $2000, send it to them, they match is with another $2000 for a total of $4000. This will be dispersed to us after we arrive home with John Preston. That is different than when we were gifted this grant with MinLan. With our first adoption we used this to help with our air fare. We have several fundraisers in October planned with help us reach this goal.

• Our plan has been all along for Ethan and Ellie both to travel with us. I feel like Ethan will be so wonderful to make John Preston feel comfortable with us.  And Ellie is a HUGE help! I am so thankful that she went to China with me to bring MinLan home. She helped so much and the thought of her not being able to go has me sweating a little honestly. When it comes time to buy our plane tickets, we will have to make a decision quickly about my ability to take them with me this time.

So with all of the above taken into consideration, that leaves us with around $15, 000 to be fully funded.

[$2000 will have to be sent to Brittany's Hope but we will get it back after we travel. Confused yet? ;-) ]

I have stepped back in the month of September.....have not actively done any fundraising and God has continued to provide. 

We have had friends host fundraisers for us.

We have had friends walk up to us at church and hand us a check.

We have had friends reach out to take our hands and leave cash money in our palm.

Times like these the tears come freely.

We are so grateful.

I can not even begin to tell you how much this means to us. Not only that you are willing to support us through our adoption but that you love John Preston already and want to see him home.

We are on day 58 of waiting for our LOA from China. This is the next big step. Once it arrives...could be any day as China is processing families right now that had log in dates the last week of July like we did. Once our LOA arrives, we probably have only about two months before we will travel. As I type that, my heart is giddy with excitement and terrified at the same time.

Will you pray with us? Pray that we make effective and wise decisions regarding raising the remainder of our funds to bring our son home. Pray that God continues to bless our adoption process as He already has.

If you feel led, donations can be made anytime to our You Caring site HERE.

Tax deductible donations can be made to our Reece's Rainbow account HERE as well.

We would be so honored if you would share our site with friends and family by clicking the share button below.

Love,

A Special Gift.....

Down syndrome has brought so many people into our lives...I've spoken about it before....we have met professionals...doctors and therapists....we have met parents of little ones with Down syndrome and other special needs....all placed in our lives through the Lord because of a little extra chromosome. 


We have also met people who have loved and lost sweet souls with Down syndrome. We are blessed to know them too. They may not be walking the daily path with us but they know...they just KNOW. They know without a word how amazing our little ones are. They understand what a blessing God gave to us all.


Today we received a very generous donation towards our adoption from one of those friends. Kelli​ is a fellow local oily momma friend. She and her husband have two beautiful daughters and were blessed with a precious son named Elijah who passed into the arms of Jesus. Elijah had Down syndrome just like our girls and our John Preston.  Look at that precious face below...isn't he beautiful?


Thank you Kelli and Les. Our family will never forget the gift from your family in Elijah's honor. Each time I see your face, I will remember. I will remember your sweet boy and I will know that he helped to get our boy home to his family. 


As I sit here with tears streaming down my face, I am reminded yet again what a big God we serve. He has overcome death and the grave.  


You will hold your sweet boy again one day, Kelli.  


John Preston will know the love of a mother and a father...the love of siblings and extended family...because God will make it so. 


He is making a way...He has knit our stories together through time and space....God is good.

Liberty Fundraiser

Let's talk for a minute about LIBERTY...

How do you teach your children about liberty?

Do you?

Sort of a hard topic to wrap your mind around isn't it? You know what it is but maybe not how to explain it.


"Until now, freedom-minded parents have had little to no educational material to teach their children the concepts of liberty.

The Tuttle Twins series of books helps children learn about political and economic principles in a fun and engaging manner. With colorful illustrations and a fun story, your children will follow Ethan and Emily as they learn about liberty!"




The first book is "The Tuttle Twins Learn About the Law".

Grab your copy of the first book in the brand new Tuttle Twins series—and help the children in your life learn the principles of liberty!

The Tuttle Twins Learn About the Law is 62 pages long and full of fun, colorful illustrations. Recommended reading age: 5-11.

The second book is "The Tuttle Twins and the Miraculous Pencil".

Grab your copy of the second book in the brand new Tuttle Twins series—and help the children in your life learn how the free market works!

The Tuttle Twins Learn and the Miraculous Pencil is 64 pages long and full of fun, colorful illustrations. Recommended reading age: 5-11.

We are selling these amazing, must-have books to help us bring John Preston home! Details below!

With each book you purchase, you'll also receive a FREE DOWNLOADABLE ACTIVITY BOOK!


Here's some more info on the Tuttle Twins:

How do you describe liberty to a 7-year-old? Should your preteen care about the government? Are your kids learning about proper political principles in class?

For too long, parents have been at the mercy of professional curriculum developers to instruct their children. History is watered down, key principles omitted altogether, and time and attention given to things of lesser importance. Freedom-loving parents have long been left alone to shoulder the burden of educating their children and passing down a love of liberty.

While there are many books to teach these ideas to adults, there has been a profound void in the children’s literature market. The Tuttle Twins series aims to close the gap, helping parents convey the principles of liberty to their kids in a fun way.

Each book in this series will focus on a different subset of individual liberty. The first book, The Tuttle Twins Learn About the Law, is a children’s version of Frédéric Bastiat’s The Law, written in 1850, that clearly and concisely summarizes what the proper role of government is. With an engaging storyline and bright illustrations, kids are exposed to the fundamentals of freedom in an easy and enlightening format.

Subsequent books will focus on the free market, the non-aggression principle, personal responsibility, protectionism, and a variety of other issues—all boiled down to core concepts that children can easily grasp.

Tieks Adoption Fundraiser Giveaway!!!

I am not a big "shoe" person....

I own a few pair...definitely less than ten...

I wear them until they are no longer wearable...

I could buy more shoes, really I could....it just doesn't ever really cross my mind.

#donotrevokemygirliegirlcardplease


But these shoes......


I love them.

I do NOT own a pair...but I KNOW I would love them...

They are called Tieks.


I have wanted a pair for YEARS....I kid you not...YEARS.


But....


They cost $175.


YIKES.


My mommy brain can not rationalize buying them. I have tried to convince myself that since I spend so LITTLE on shoes, that these would be a good investment.  But I haven't persuaded myself yet.


One day, when you finally see me in a  pair (or two), please don't judge me...


I'm guessing you want a pair as much as I do.


Here's what Tieks has to say about them on their website...



Tieks are made from 100% premium, soft, full-grain leather. The upper of each pair of Tieks comes from a single piece of leather. The upper is designed to wrap around the foot to slim and elongate it. Our highest end leathers are custom made in Italy.



The back of your Tieks are cushioned rather than elasticized to ensure your Tieks are never too tight on your heel.



Whether on your feet or in your purse, Tieks are designed to add flexibility to your lifestyle by ensuring comfort is close even when wearing heels. The foldable split-sole design is compact and lightweight, making it easy to bring your Tieks along when you are in heels. When you need to take off your heels, Tieks provide comfort without compromising your style.



The non-skid rubber patchesand cushioned instep assure comfort with each step, so you can wear your Tieks all day, every day. The thick padding of the space foam cushion ensures a safe and comfortable heel strike.



Want a pair now?


I knew you did.


Well, we are giving a pair away.  Your choice of one of the classic colors seen HERE.


Aren't they SCRUMPTIOUS?!?!?!

Each $10 donation gets you one entry to win.

You can enter as many times as you wish.

To enter:

Go to www.paypal.com

Click to "Send money to friends or family".

Enter my email address jmparris@cableone.net

Enter the amount..... $10 .... $20 .... $30 .....how many ever entries you would like.

Click "next" and be sure to put in the notes section that your donation is for the shoe giveaway.


We will draw on Friday, May 29th. 


Are you excited? I am! I wish I could enter to win!!!!!


If you win and wear a size ten, then maybe you'd let me borrow them for a day.......



*Remember donations via Paypal are not tax deductible. If you would like to enter to win without making a donation, please email me at jmparris@cableone.net.
