Share the Love

February 13, 2016 by Heather Mitchell 1 Comment

“Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

As the gap closes on our wait, my children continue to amaze me with their capacity to love someone they have yet to meet.

Prayers for their future sister have gone from being an occasional prayer now and then to daily and they are so very genuine and sweet. Their hearts are open and ready to welcome a new sibling into our family. They long to know her, have her home and share their love with her.

We have endearingly nicknamed our soon to be daughter and sister, Ladybug. With this warm spell and Valentine’s Day, we are seeing ladybugs everywhere. Each time I see one it makes me smile and I say a prayer for her. It may seem a little silly but even so, hope bubbles up inside me. Love always hopes and so with this simple act, I am renewed in the waiting.

Share the Love

My sister in law has shared her gift of creativity and her generous heart with our family by creating a new spin on the adoption sign she first designed last January as a fundraiser for our adoption. We think her sign is pretty amazing! This sign is now available at WallBling and all proceeds go directly to our adoption fund.

This Valentine’s we ask that you would consider Sharing the Love and supporting us as we continue to raise funds to bring our daughter home.

Here our a few ways to Share the Love:

1) Share this post on social media with the share links below.

2) Give a personalized sign as a gift to a family in the adoption journey or as a welcome home gift.

3) Prayerfully consider donating to our family’s adoption journey through Adopt Together.

4) Every time you see a ladybug, pray for our future daughter.

We are so grateful for your continued prayers and support. Thank you for sharing this journey of love with our family.

With hope filled anticipation we wait with each hand and heart linked and stretched far and wide, to Bulgaria and back. Love will bring her home.
