First I want to say a huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who prayed, shared, and gave to our giveaway! All told between all the entry methods plus the bonus entries for buying our tshirts there were 781 entries! And after factoring in the cost of the giftcard we are $210 closer to bringing our boy home!
Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We should wrap up our homestudy this week so please pray for favor and that we have every thing in order! Please pray that our next step which is submitting our I800 and getting USCIS approval goes smoothly and quickly. We've heard that right now processing time is around 45 days, but, we're praying it happens faster. Please pray for our family and all of the families adopting from Bulgaria as their government goes through this transition period that things will start moving again soon!
Ok, what you really came for....
The winner of the $250 American Girl or Amazon giftcard, or donation to adopting family of their choice is....
Virginia 'Gail' Warner
Congratulations Gail!! We are so thankful to you and all the support you've shown our family and so many adopting families <3
Update
I told yall our friend Gail is awesome didn't I? I know that Gail knows some little girls who would love the American Girl giftcard, that she could use an Amazon giftcard. But, instead when she found out that she was the winner, she asked that we keep the money and put it back towards our adoption fund! We are truly blessed with some of the most supportive, generous and giving friends who have come along side us in this adoption journey. Thank you again Gail, you are a true blessing to us!
We are so excited to be working with Freedom Prints to bring you a tshirt that we love!
For those that don't know, the concept for the tshirt design came from the Matthew West song, "Hello My Name is Child of the One True King," and if you've never heard it you should take a few minutes and listen to it now!
I love this message, a reminder that we are all children of the King of Kings, saved by grace, redeemed by blood. And, when we begin to get dragged down by the voices in our own heads of guilt, shame, defeat, regret, etc. etc. that we can shut them up by reminding them (and ourselves) whose child we are!
Upate, our first order has been placed and come back so I have a few pictures of the actual shirts to share with you all! We were super pleased with how they came out and get a lot of comments on them! (These are cellphone pics so they're not the best but you get the idea!)

Nick rocking his safety orange shirt, this is a Youth Medium (Nick is about 44" and wears a size 6 so a little big on him)
The color options for the first type of tshirt, available in Adult S-5X can be seen here along with specifications.
The color options for the second type of tshirt, available in Adult S-3X can be seen here , if you're like me and love the 'heather' type shirts because they're softer and a little stretchier, you will find more of those in this option.
We also have youth shirts available from Youth XS-YXL and you can see those color choices here
*Toddler sizes are no longer available. The Youth XS fits like a 4T*
Keep in mind when picking a color that the screenprint will be white.
We were able to get a great deal on the shirts and are passing the savings on to you! The shirts are just $16 for sizes up to an Adult XL and $18 for 2X-5X. And, if you need to have them shipped shipping is $3 for the first 3 shirts and $6 for 4 or more tshirts.
