We're adding to the Family!

The Crum family is already quite a rainbow of color and ethnicity with our precious Ian from Guatemala and beautiful Annalee from China. Now, God has placed it on our hearts to adopt from Ethiopia, Africa. We have started the paperwork process and hope to add two children to our family in twelve to sixteen months. Feel free to check out the wonderful agency we’ve used for all our adoptions: http://www.allgodschildren.org/

As we complete the paperwork necessary to bring these children home, we pray daily for their physical, mental, and spiritual safety. We pray that God will place kind, loving caretakers in their lives who will protect them until they are united with us – their forever family. If you would join us in these prayers, we would greatly appreciate it!

Some of you know that the fees to adopt are quite high. In this case, to adopt two children, we will need at least $35,000. In both of our previous adoptions, we were able to pay the fees without asking for help. In fact, we have even been able to assist several other families with their adoption expenses in the past. However, we are now the ones needing assistance. We are small business owners, and the economy has certainly taken its toll on us, but God is calling us to step out in faith and proceed with these adoptions. Therefore, we are obeying, praying, belt-tightening, selling, and fundraising! We are also looking for those who would like to come along beside us and assist us in raising the funds needed. We invite you to help bring two orphaned or abandoned children into a loving home.

We currently have three adoption fundraisers. Every dollar counts, so please check out the fundraisers. You can buy things you already buy AND help bring two orphaned or abandoned children into a loving Christian family at the same time! We’re also taking direct donations from those who would like to help but don’t want to purchase anything.
Please follow the directions on the next page to help.
