GIVEAWAY! update

This adoption has been a little different than the last three. The Lord had given me a dream back in December when we committed to Jonathan. I was geared up going onto a battlefield. I awoke knowing this was not going to be an easy adoption. We've had a lot of obstacles to overcome. I just don't post everything. There have been friendships lost, financial attacks, our vehicles not working, and the list goes on. But I can say this: we are NOT giving up! I know this precious boy is our son and I would claw through a brick wall to get to him (my friend Cindy's words).

If you all would continue to pray for Jonathan, my family, and help spread the word about our fundraiser, I would be so grateful! We have around $12,000 still to raise and we should be traveling soon. The Lord knows, but it's always nice to have the prayers of my brothers and sisters in Christ! Knowing how much you all have supported us is a HUGE blessing! Thank you!!!



We have had several people donate to help bring Jonathan home. I am amazed at the goodness of our Lord and the wonderful friendships Mark and I have formed through our adoptions. We are truly blessed!

    1. If you use the donate button on the top, it is a tax write-off. The chip in button is not. :)

  19. Hi Mark and Hansina,
    You guys have been in our thoughts and prayers since we heard your news. I've been meaning to email, but somehow time just gets away from me. We did make a donation through Project Hopeful and I'll be checking out the other fundraiser as well (any excuse to buy a purse - lol!).
    Godspeed to Jonathon!!
