Many have asked if we have any “news” on the adoption front. Unfortunately, we do not. We are still waiting for that first court date to get set up. The latest word is that the program directors went on strike shortly after the new one was placed in the region that we are adopting from. So, we wait for that to be resolved and pray that God will bring a court date. Adoptions in Ghana are not as common as other countries. There isn’t a “set” process and from what we understand that is something they are looking to change. Our power of attorney in Ghana continually says that things will move forward we just have to be patient. Easier said than done! We are trying to rest and trust in that. We try to release control and some days there is restlessness within that is hard to work through. Other days it is easy to trust and know that God is at the center of it all and that He has a plan much bigger than we can see in this moment. We believe that God has called us to this and so in that we know that patience is a must. While we wait we look to the holidays and in this month turn to the things we are so thankful for.
Adoption is one of those things we are thankful for. Did you know that November is National Adoption Month? To celebrate National Adoption Month … and raise a little more money for our adoption, I am going to be hosting a “trunk show” with Jen Flavin from Paisley Print Boutique on Thursday, November 21st at 7:00 pm. This is a home party “trunk show” with unique products. Jen started her organization because she wanted to create a place where people can shop and know that everything they purchase is making a tangible difference in someone's life around the world. There are many organizations that make beautiful, high quality items that are making a difference that many people just don't know about. So part of this is awareness as well. She gives 10% of each trunk show's sales to a charity or ministry of the hostess’ choosing. For this show, 10% of the sales will go to the Goodreau Adoption Fund to help get our little girl home!
You can check out their website for the organizations they are currently working with and a preview of some of what will be there on November 21st …. Come and get some of your Christmas presents knocked off of your list … or just join us for a night of fun and fellowship!! Please let me know if you can come by emailing me at kristin.goodreau@gmail.com ... or if you have questions please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I hope you can make it!
