Inquiring Minds Want to Know ~ Why Increased Costs?

Here she is!
I want to share the whole story with you...all the amazing things God has done and continues to do. And I will. But today I know you'd just go straight to the pictures :)

KENNAH JANAE
...whose orphanage bed will soon be empty - oh, praise you Jesus!
Those eyes!
She is not in the same orphanage as Kasidi Joy, but she is in the same province! And she turns 3 next month, which will be the last birthday without her family.
And this Mama will never again refer to her as 'the reason for increased costs.'

My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever.
Psalm 145:21

    Congratulations!! I just started following along b/c I love big, beautiful families, but mostly I share your affinity for "K" names. Interestingly, out of our 8 children, only one has the same name as one of your children (Kyler, spelled different).

    I look forward to following you to China & back to bring home your blessings!

    Oh, she is so CUTE! And look at those eyes! I can't wait to hear the story and also hear an update on your timeline! BTW our "reason for increased costs" is having a birthday next month, too. (He will be 4, and it looks like we will be just missing his birthday.)

    Connie, I honestly have no idea how you and Clayton do it!! I remember when you guys first brought Kayden home, and now look at your family!! God is good!! And I know He is the one building your family and giving you the grace and wisdom for such a large krew! :-)

    Connie - Such a sweet little girl! I know you are excited!!! I wanted to let you know that I have a friend named Linda who is looking for someone who needs assistance raising funds for a good cause. I thought of you and wanted to get this information in your hands. I hope it can help you! If you are interested and contact her mention my name (Erica Hamilton) so she will know that you are a friend of a friend. :0)
    -Erica

    1 have 10,000 to 14,000 books in my warehouse, that I have published over the past few years for the craft industry. Unfortunately I was just a small company and ran out of money to promote them well enough. The books have retailed for between 14.95 and 19.95. I would like to find someone that has a real need and help me do a fundraiser to sell them for $10. Out of that, I am willing to donate 50%. This could net someone between $50,000 and $70,000. I just need to get rid of them quickly and at the same time help someone or some group. I also have over a 1000 small canvas totes that retailed for $7.95 and I will donate 50% of those sales, too. If you have any ideas... I want to give, and be able to help myself recoup my costs. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks...
