Y'all...I'm blown away.  We're are so amazed - and EXCITED - at how many t-shirts will be worn in honor of bringing our son home!!  We even have t-shirts going to Mexico...and then on to Colombia!!!!  How cool is that?!?! (sure wish I was going with those t-shirts!)

So, why are we blown away? Because the total number of t-shirts that our friends and family...and strangers!...ordered is

Over 100 t-shirts for our son!!  Thank you so very, very much to all of you who pre-ordered one.  We did order a few extras, so if you missed out on the pre-order, it's not too late!  Can't wait to see all of these blue t-shirts out and about!

One More Home, One T-Shirt At A Time


We are so excited about this t-shirt!!!



This is our first big fundraiser for our adoption and we are very excited about it.  It's a great way you can be a part of our adoption and help bring our son home! 
I shared the "One More Home" phrase in a previous post, but here it is again...
"One More Home" is kind of our theme/mission/etc...There are millions upon millions of orphans around the world.  I'd like to believe that I could be a mother to them all, but I can't.  But I can be a mother to the one that God has chosen for us.  I can bring him home.  And you can, too.  And when he comes home, there will be one more child home with his forever family.  One more home to be tucked into bed by his very own mommy and daddy.  One more home to receive the love and nurturing that he so desperately needs.  One more home to hear about the unconditional and sacrificial love that Jesus has for him."
The center of the "O" in one is an outline of Colombia - the country from where we are adopting our little boy.  And we chose blue for our t-shirts because...well, blue for boys, right?  
We'll be taking pre-orders until Friday, March 14.  We'll also order extras, but pre-ordering is a way to guarantee we have your size available just for you!
The cost is $20 per t-shirt and every single penny of the profits goes directly into our adoption fund.  If you missed my post on the breakdown of our adoption expenses, you can find it here. 
The t-shirts are pre-shrunk and true to size.   
Available sizes include Youth S - XL and Adult S - XXL

Our family cannot thank you enough for the overwhelming amount of love we've already been shown.  We will never be able to fully express the joy that we have in seeing so many people come behind and help us along on this journey.  And please feel free to share this post via your Facebook or Twitter account to help us spread the word.  Thank you so much for!
