- $700 MORE!! -

god's extremely good & would be even if he wasn't blessing dad/mom financially with $ for their adoption, but he is & we're thrilled!! - they sold something the other day that brought in $200 & then i opened my mailbox today & there was a book & a card from a friend of ours (dad/mom doesn't know this person - they've heard us talk about them, but do not 'know' them) - i opened the card & it was a very sweet note about praying god's blessing on dad/mom for adopting from haiti, etc. & how they wanted to give them a book & also a check for $500!!!!!!!!!!!!! - i hurried & called them on the phone, made them both put me on speakerphone & read them the card & told them the news - they were both talking over one another thanking god for what he's doing, telling me that they were going to purchase a thank you card & kept saying, "oh my goodness, how sweet that was of them!!" - it's really neat to see so many people rally together to bring madisyn home - she's a very special girl that's loved more than she can even imagine - she's loved by people that first off don't know her at all & don't know much about haiti, but are people who're saving yet another child from the only life she's ever known & making it possible that she's given a family that'll love her & care for her in ways she can't even imagine - to the person who sent the $, i know you well enough to know that you'd not want your name mentioned so i'll not share with the world who you are, but just know we love you not only for doing this, but for who you are & how much you help others - thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!
