So I have all these amazing dresses ready to go to Ghana. If I can’t take them all on this trip, I want to take the sizes that will benefit the most girls. Each bag of dresses has any where from 12-20 dresses and the size is listed right on the bag. So nice, but […]

Today I received 3 boxes FULL of dresses and “britches” for the children in Africa. If you haven’t done so already, you need to check out this organization. I don’t even know how many I received yet – I’ll find out when I pack them for the trip in air-tight bags to give more space. […]
[Continue reading...]Sorry for not posting. Things have been a bit hectic around here as I prepare to go to Ghana and Chris prepares for his business trip in Mexico. I’m excited about all the stuff I’m taking to donate to the children and will post some more photos as the remaining items arrive. I was able […]
[Continue reading...]Really, are you ready for this? I’m hardly ready for this. I’m going to Ghana. Wow. I typed it. Does that make it more real or what?!

I’m still waiting for the puzzle to actually arrive, and then I’ll get it put together (wish me luck) and start […]

The majority of our friends and family are not in a situation to be able to adopt a child. For those that are, it isn’t a simple decision to make. It is a life changing decision and it’s not for everyone. That said, so many of our friends have asked how they can help make […]

We’ve had our dossier done and ready to go to Ghana for a while now, but our contact in Ghana was going to be out of town for 3 weeks and I was a bit worried to send it and have it arrive while he was out so, I just sent it off today. I […]
[Continue reading...]I heard back from our guy in Ghana and fortunately/unfortunately, the children he had mentioned have a father. The really good news is that this completely confirms our trust in this organization. He had been told that the father was deceased, but doing his due diligence, he found that this was not the case. Which […]
