humbled (& blessed)

we have recieved some negative feedback concerning our decision to adopt from korea, but for the most part it has been overwhelming positive. and i have been extremely humbled by how many people are willing to support us in whatever way they can.

my partners, or co-workers, (and a couple other starbucks locations) are collecting used whip creme cartridges for me to pick up and take in to recycling. this is by no means bringing in big bucks (two weeks worth of cartridges equals about a dollar), but i can't help it and smile each time they excitingly drop a cartridge in the bucket.

another one of my partners is part of an asian sorority (alpha phi gamma) on campus at the u of a and has asked them to fundraise on our behalf. they are holding a bake sale this week on the mall. students that i don't even know are using their time and resources in honor of our next child.

and a friend from church is putting together a day of photography and donating a portion of the proceeds to our adoption fund. hes a great photographer and i'm so excited he is willing to use his gifts in this way. if you are interested in signing up, go to JB Photography.
