Well, we're officially 8 months into our wait and it's been an amazing month! We started fundraising this month and as you can see, everyone is "showing some love". We have literally been brought to tears by the kindness shown to us this month. People who love us have obviously stepped up in a huge way but we've also been shown kindness from people who don't know us all that well, and we even had a little one come to us with a fist full of change "for Kaiyin". It's been awesome! We've almost sold out of the 100 t shirts we ordered and have had to place another order. There is really no way to say thank you for all the support. We hope that one day we can show each and every one of you the love that we've been shown over the past month. Love you so much, Elmira and Steve.
We are so excited for you guys! Can't wait to meet Kaiyin!

God is soooo good!
ReplyDeleteWe love you guys!!!
This is too precious. I can't believe the countdown is finally here! And we are finally going to be hold Kaiyin. xoxo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your journey to your child! Saw your ad in Southern Exposure magazine. We're in the final steps of bringing our daughter home from India (and doing a fundraiser this week, actually- so we know all about the costs involved). You day will come, and the waiting will make sense. It certainly did for us.

ReplyDeleteMy sweet friend, it is so special to come over to this post and enjoy some time in Kaiyin world. We are so delighted that she is arriving soon!! Your Mama's heart is on my heart and we have been lifting you all up. We ran into complications the day of your concert that prevented us attending but you absolutely were on our minds and hearts all day. I hope it was wonderful!! Your wait has been a blessing to witness--lovely and real all at the same time. Please call me if you want to chat about anything regarding anything.:) Just love you and are sitting in anticipation with you all. Grace and Love, Gillian
ReplyDeleteMy friend sent me your blog. We are also awaiting a referral for a baby boy from Ethiopia. I would love to get one of your shirts but was wondering if you still had them in yellow? Thanks so much and hoping you get your referral soon. Laura Kelley
ReplyDeleteHey I am dying to know how the concert went
