Head Over Heels

Just wanted to send a big THANK YOU to everyone that came out to the Chick-fil-a fundraiser to help bring my little one home to a forever family! :) 

So far we have raised $12,000!!! :) The money has been raised through various fundraisers as well as people who have sent checks in the mail saying God placed it on their hearts to send me a donation! So thankful for the outpour of love, friendship, and prayers through this journey.

Another blessing, I had been praying for a generous tax return this year...and God blessed me with $3,000! So now my adoption fund is up to DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....$15,000.00!!!!! Wooooo Hoooo!!! :)

GOD IS SO GOOD! :)

Please pray for the remaining $5,000 to come in very soon! It is needed in a huge way!

A dear friend of mine, Ridley Barron, recently completed a book of the tragedy he walked through with his family and a healing that can only come from the power of forgiveness. Ridley has offered to donate 20% of the book sales that come from friends that I refer. So please visit www.ridleybarron.com and click on "store" to purchase "Twist of Faith." THEN send him an e-mail at info@ridleybarron.com and tell him you are supporting the O'Hara adoption! :)

You can also donate at staceyohara.chipin.com (no www. in address) or if you don't like to donate online, please e-mail me at staceyohara1@gmail.com and I can send you my address. There have been a lot of people that felt more comfortable sending it through the mail.

It's amazing to me how I can already be head over heels in love with my child when she's not even here yet! God is preparing my heart and God is preparing my little one to be in my arms forever!

In Christ's Love,

Stacey

Half Way There

Happy New Year! :) I'm amazed at how fast a year goes by, but I'm so excited to see what God has in store for 2012! 


The adoption journey continues to keep us busy. I'm happy to say we have raised close to ten thousand dollars which puts us at the half way mark!!! The prayers and support of many have helped us reach this half way point and I know God will provide full funding when the time is right. The agency is ready to move forward with matching me with a child, so I can't wait for the day when I can call them to say I'm fully funded!


Some of the ways God has been amazing me, have been through all of the various fundraisers, receiving a card in the mail with a check for $750.00, another friend writing a check for $500.00, and then recently another friend stopped over to the house with a check for $300.00!!! :) And if all of that wasn't sweet enough, a colleague from school told her family to take the money they would spend on her this year for Christmas and give it to me to help bring my baby home...yes I have often been in tears because of the outpour of love from those that surround me. 


I'm so grateful to be at the ten thousand mark and need the prayers and support of my family and friends for the last ten thousand.
