Our Sweet Sylvia

When we came home from Uganda with Jeremiah three years ago we left something there.  A piece of our heart.  In two months, we will be traveling back to Uganda to bring a beautiful little girl named Sylvia into our family.  She will be a daughter, a sister, a niece, a cousin, and a granddaughter.  No longer an orphan.
She is two years old and Mike and our boys are so excited to bring her home.  We love her so much already and she has been through so much in her short life.  We have saved every penny possible and are selling practically everything not nailed down on Craiglsist to come up with the fees for her adoption.  We believe that God has called us to adopt a child who needs a family, and even though we don't have all of the finances up front we trust him to provide.  
So.....We are having a puzzle fundraiser!  We purchased a beautiful puzzle designed by an  African artist and will hang it on Sylvia's room
Here's how it works:
For $10 you can purchase one piece of this beautiful African puzzle  We will write your name on the back of your piece(s) and Sylvia will forever know how many people loved her and helped bring her home!  You can purchase one for yourself, your spouse, each of your children, or in whoever's name you wish.  When all of the pieces have been purchased and the puzzle is complete we will place it in a double sided glass frame and hang it in Sylvia's room.  Your gift will forever be remembered and Sylvia will know as she grows up the impact you had on her life.  Just imagine seeing all of those names and realizing that hundreds of people cared enough about her to help bring her home into her forever family!  Can you imagine how special and loved that will make her feel?!
You can purchase puzzle pieces on Sylvia's GoFundMe page and leave a comment with your donation of what names you would like on your puzzle pieces at:  http://www.gofundme.com/6lm0bo
We appreciate your prayers during this adoption process and considering helping us bring our baby girl home by buying a puzzle piece.  Thank you so much for your love, support, and prayers!  We are truly grateful.  May God bless you for being such a blessing to us!
