Help us Adopt Again. . . By Drinking Coffee! ! !

You heard it from us first, that's right, your computer isn't broken! We are going to adopt again and we hope to start the process soon! To us this call from God to build a family is such an amazing blessing and challenge. However, we couldn't be more excited to bring another precious child from Ethiopia into our family!

As I am sure all of you know adoption is expensive, so this time we started a fundraiser early! We wanted to chose a fundraiser that you could benefit from as well so read on to see how you could help bring our next child home!

The company is called Just Love Coffee Roasters and here is their story taken straight from their website.

"Rob Webb knows coffee. When Rob was two years old, his father started Webb's Coffee Service, which blossomed into a full-blown refreshment service supplying businesses in Nashville, TN and the surrounding areas, and is now run by Rob.
Rob Webb knows the adoption process. In the summer of 2008, Rob and his wife Emily were called to adopt from Ethiopia. After much prayer and discussion with their first two children they started their adoption journey in August 2008. During the flurry of paperwork and preparation, Rob & Emily read books not only on adoption in general, but specifically on Ethiopia. Learning that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee caught Rob's attention, and after reading about the living conditions and wages of the average coffee farmer, he was compelled to take action. What developed through his reading and his trip to Ethiopia to unite with his daughters was a realization that he could combine his expertise and longstanding desire to roast his own coffees with his desire to help others. Just Love Coffee Roasters was born! Roasting Fair Trade Specialty coffees, Just Love uses proceeds to help an Ethiopian orphanage and families adopting not just from Ethiopia, but from anywhere in the world."

Thanks to this families amazing generosity we were able to set up our own store that you can order from and have the coffee shipped right to your door. From each bag of coffee you buy we receive $5, each month we will be mailed a check from the coffee sales and we will be putting it into an adoption account. Some of the first fees we owe are very large. The home study for example has to take place before anything else really can happen, the fee for this is $2,000. You see we don't pay Ethiopia thousands of dollars all the fees just add up to thousands of dollars. Every little bit helps and if you enjoy coffee know that every bag you buy goes to help bring our child home, benefits the farmers in Ethiopia who grow the coffee, and goes to help build a school for older children in Addis Ababa.

We appreciate your support more than you know. Check out our store at. . .
