Whether you are a last minute shopper (not that we know anything about that...) or just enjoy perusing gift ideas in your slippers and P.J.'s, we've got a little something for everyone right here! As the anticipation grows over the coming celebration of the birth of our King, so does our excitement about uniting at last and forever with our two precious children in Uganda. The time is closing in on our expected travel time and we are offering ALL the lasting items that have been made, donated, shared, and crafted over the years to support our adoption. We are coming close to meeting the financial requirements to travel and adopt our children, but there is still some need.
All items below are available for purchase. Please send us a message or email with your interests and we can arrange pick-up, delivery or shipping as needed, doing our best to have your items to you before Christmas (or for some post-holiday cheer if that is your wish).
Thank you so much for all your love, prayer and support! Have a wonderful Christmas as you rejoice in the grace of our great God!
Family Cookbook
$10 ~ 2/$15 ~ 3/$20
Filled with family favorites, hilarious stories, God's Word on adoption, and facts about the fatherless around the world, this is not your ordinary cookbook. We created this during our adoption process with Vietnam, so there are a few bonus Vietnamese recipes and sadly our family photo is missing the beautiful Maela. Perfect stocking stuffer and gift for the cook, or aspiring-to-be cook, in your family!

These unique bags are handmade by women in Uganda, and there's an amazing story of grace and growth behind each one. Claiming one of these for your own not only supports our adoption, but also the families of these beautiful women.
