We are in this waiting phase...waiting for a match!  While we wait, life goes on.  We are constantly busy with our 4 children and all the craziness that goes along with that.  Then...there is the fundraising!  That word is so difficult for me.  I know I've talked about this before but, I really struggle with fundraising.  I trust that God will provide for this adoption because He has called us to it.  I also trust that other people "want" to be a part of this process.  BUT, none of that makes this any easier.  The reality is that we have to raise about $25000 MORE!  Let me tell you we have seen God move mountains thus far!  He has been so incredibly faithful and provided everything we have needed as we have needed it.  So why is it so difficult to believe He can provide this?!  It's a HUGE amount of money!  I battle with feeling like we are the ones adopting and it's our responsibility to pay for it VS knowing that people want to be a blessing to us by helping.  I

We have finally entered IBESR!  The wait is on!!  What does that mean?  Our paperwork is in the system in Haiti and they can start considering us for a match! We are expecting that this could take a while...up to 3 years!  However, God is in control and we are comfortable waiting for HIS Timing! I have had several people ask if we were still fundraising.  We are continuing to fundraise.  We have an account set up with Life Song if you would like to make a tax deductible donation (https://mystory.lifesongfororphans.org/stories/called-adopt-2-maybe-3-kids-haiti/)!  We are applying for grants (we have received a couple :)  )!  We are trying to give everyone a break while we wait.  It is exhausting and humbling to ask people for money!!  We will have a large chunk of money due when we do get our match.  I have a few t-shirts left if anyone is interested, email me at tonyamfink@Gmail.com.
