getting our girl home: Calling All Families of Chinese Children

Calling All Families of Chinese Children

We are designing a super cool t-shirt for fundraising purposes. On the front, we want to put the American names of as many children as we can who have been adopted from China. The names will be inside the outline of China with John 14:18 over it. I can't wait to reveal it to you all out there. If you have adopted from China and don't mind having your child's name included on the shirt, leave their American first name only in the comment section for me and I will let you know when the shirts go on sale. Super excited to see how God will work through you to help us bring our girl home!

Hey Leslie - You posted on my blog requesting to use our kiddos names....yes you may! BUT...can I ask you become a follower on my blog AND tell me HOW in the world you received a $15,000 grant?? WOW!! How awesome! With that, we'd be done fundraising ourselves. :) ~Anita

You can include our daughter's name--Lydia. Come over to www.wearegraftedin.com and join the forum--there are lots of believing adoptive families there who would probably be glad to let you use their children's names too.
