Break Away

So because of how close to the holidays we are getting to, we are going to take a break with posting every week.  

We will see you after the New Year.

Music Monday:While I'm Waiting by John Waller

So for those who know me, music is a big part of my life.  So as we have started going through the process of adopting, I have actually created a play list for me to listen to when I'm up or down about the whole journey. 

Today is While I'm Waiting by John Waller

Hope you enjoy!

Will Crochet For Adoption... And the People You meet.

While buying yarn for one of the many crocheted cocoon cardigans, I met a woman and her grandson.  We had a nice talk about yarn, and where to find a very specific kind for my cocoon project.  

She then asked me what I was making.  I showed her what it was, and told her that I'm doing it because my husband and I are trying to adopt.  

She then told me just snippets of her life:  That she was adopted, and that one of her children had just adopted through the adoption consultants that we are planning on going.  She advised me that I need to be ready, because when the match happens we might not have time to get things.  

I smilled.  It is amazing the people we meet because of what we journey we are taking to grow our family.

National Adoption Month

November is National Adoption Month. As many of you know, my wife and I want to grow our family. As it turns out, I have some issues which hamper that wish. After considering and praying on a gamut of options, Cana and I feel called to adopting.

The adoption process is neither quick nor inexpensive. Your love, support, and prayers help bolster our patience. We thank you all for helping us carry the emotional strain that comes with waiting.

Financially, we need help as well. Please keep in mind, we are not asking anyone to pay for the entire process, but any little bit helps. Below is a link to our GoFundMe, but that is far from the only way to help. We also have a CafePress store (http://www.cafepress.com/thebrownsadopt) and my lovely and talented wife #willcrochetforadoption (https://www.facebook.com/willcrochetforadoption/).


We appreciate the love, support, caring, compassion, well wishes, prayers, and good vibes more than any of you will ever know. And, should you feel called or compelled to help us financially in our adoption as we are growing our family and #findingourcrayons, we thank you so very much.
