As most of you know, adoption is VERY expensive. Although Cody and I are adopting domestically (here in the U.S.) it is in no way cheap! However, we know that God will always provide more than enough.
By the time our adoption is complete, we will have spent close to $30,000. Yes, this is A LOT of money; but I find it funny that most people do not think twice about spending this amount on a new car! A precious life created by God is worth so much more than $30,000....to us, it's PRICELESS!
Back in September we were told about a fundraising organization, "Wild Olive Tees." We immediately did our research and submitted an application to start fundraising. Yesterday we learned we had been accepted to start fundraising for our adoption through Wild Olive Tees. We were so excited!!
Below is from the Wild Olive Tees website:
Wild Olive adoption tees have been created as a means to help families fund raise for their impending adoption. Our goal is to partner with adoptive families to help them gain support from friends and family to offset the cost of their adoption, and in turn, help bring children home to their forever families!
These tees are available to anyone for purchase. However, if you have been given a FAMILY CODE by family or friends as a way to help support their fundraising efforts, please enter it during checkout in BOTH the “Enter Coupon” field (by clicking the "Enter Coupon" button on the left inside your cart), as well as the Comments section. This way, the family you are supporting is properly credited for your purchase. The family code must be entered to ensure that the funds go to the correct family.
Please note: the FAMILY CODE will not reduce the price of the tee; it will simply ensure that the proper family receives the funds from your purchase.

These t-shirts are wonderful! Each t-shirt has a scripture on the back. My favorite is "CHOSEN" "For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the Lord has chosen you to be His treasured possession." Deuteronomy 14:2....This is actually one of the youth size t-shirts, but I LOVE IT!
We will receive $7.50 for the first 50 t-shirts sold, and after 50 we will receive $10 for each t-shirt sold! Wild Olive Tees will write us a check and send it straight to St. Elizabeth Foundation to help with the cost of our adoption. Please help us spread the word! Tell your friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc...We believe, with God, we can reach our goal of selling 100+ shirts before December! We know that may sound like a lot, but as we have said before, WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE FOR THEM THAT BELIEVE! THANK YOU!!!
In God's Hands-
Whitney :-)
