meet my friend stacey. the girl in the picture, not the boy.
we met kind of on the inter web , which would be weird if i was talking like we met on craigslist. but actually we go to the same church so i knew she wasn't cray-cray. she is great and you will love her.
also she is great at making the most adorbs onsies and whatnots to fund her adoption.
anyway, she's giving away a $20 shop credit today. read more about her right now.
Hello! My name is Stacey and I’m so thrilled Jami is letting me give away some goodies to one of her readers. Because who doesn’t love free stuff, amen?.
I just recently opened up a shop called hope: handmade, which sells appliqued onesies, bibs, burp cloths, and more! And the best part? 100% of the proceeds from this little shop go to help support our adoption! Because, guys, seriously – adoption is EXPENSIVE. But well, well worth it.
You see, a couple years ago my husband and I decided it was time to grow our little family. After a year and a half and many tears cried, we discovered that it was very unlikely we would ever have kiddos the old fashioned way. My heart was crushed. Pretty soon we realized something, though. God had said no to our plans for growing our family, but He had given us a new desire – to adopt!
So here we are, neck deep in the domestic infant adoption process! Six months later and after not one, but two failed adoptions, if there’s one thing this adoption process has taught me it is that God is enough, and I must find my hope in Him! We press on through all the disappointment in faith that our baby IS out there, and one day we will see God work out our story in an amazing way.
In the meantime, I opened up shop partly to give myself something to do so I don’t go crazy while we wait! But also because it’s fun, I love it, and I’m happiest when I’m doing something creative. I love making things for babies because it’s a way for me to bless you and your little ones while I look forward to the day when I will use these things for our own baby!

To me adoption is the closest way to follow the example of Chist that I can think of: "Oh, you need a family, we will give everything we have to allow you to apart of this one." It's exactly like Christ actually.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing.
