Fall Blessing

It is a huge blessing to be able to tell you that ALL our adoption paperwork has been mailed to our agency and that the first two fundraising phases are funded. Wow! I feel like things are finally moving! Our dossier will be on its way to China by the end of the month. Our immigration approval has to visit the Chinese Embassy in Washington, DC and then our dossier will be complete. It is a huge blessing to have all that done before the farm opens. We miss Nick and are praying that we will be part of an adoption miracle and that we will be in China for Nick's eleventh birthday. The timelines are not favorable for that to happen but we serve a God who is in the miracle business. The fundraising is moving along and I have been amazed to see how God has covered every step. We are working on a few things to help us raise the remaining 17k needed. I secretly pray everyday, I guess it is not a secret anymore, that I will get a phone call from our agency telling us that our adoption is funded. One day, we will get that call! Our best personal resource for fundraising is the farm and we are planning to capitalize on that opportunity during the month of October. If you have some time, we would love to add you to the team.

Ole McDermitt's Farm Party

Ole McDermitt's Farm was established to support our orphan habit. The farm is a fun place to visit in the fall. Everyone loves petting the animals, taking a hayride, trekking through the corn maze, and playing in the corn box. The only thing that could make it better is spending time at the farm with fourteen of your closest friends. It might even be possible to enjoy the farm with just your small group. How much is that experience worth to you? How about $10! To help us fund our adoption and get Nick home we are inviting you to use the link below to donate $10 or more to our adoption fund. We need to raise $17,000 dollars to completely fund our adoption. For every $10 donation you make, you will receive one entry in our party drawing. Donations made using pAypal are not tax detuctable. Please use my email address to donate on line via paypal kaylamcdermitt@yahoo.com or use the link below. If you would like to make a tax detuctable donation, mail a check payable to Living Hope to McDermitt's Adoption, 102 Baxter Road, Carrollton, Ga 30117. We will give away one party for every $1500 we raise this month. Www.olemcdermittsfarm.com. A farm party will consist of admission for up to fifteen guests, fifteen drinks, fifteen boxes/ bags of popcorn and one pumpkin ( up to $15) for the lucky winner. Thank you for helping us give a ten year old boy his heart's desire, a family of his own.
