So, we wanted to share a little bit about the non profit organization that is helping us fund our adoption. It is never our intention to beg for money from our friends. However, this is a clear and easy way for people interested in helping fund our adoption to do so. “Adopt together” does not pocket any of the money and all funds donated to the Mabry’s goes to our adoption expenses alone. We have a projected expense of $33,000 for our Haiti adoption and that seems to be the going rate for an international adoption these days. So, we could use help. We are trusting God fully but we know that He can use friends like yourselves to bless His work. We believe we are following God’s leading by adopting. We would love to share with you more in person about how God has moved in us and we believe He has guided every step thus far.
First, we could use your prayers. This is the most important thing all of you could do for us. There are so many unknowns as we take this journey, so we covet your prayers.
Second, we could use some financial help. We are not asking for astronomical amounts of money. We know times are tough on everyone right now. We will be doing special days like “$10 Tuesdays”. Any little bit will help us achieve our goal and bring this child to their forever home.
We will also be doing fundraisers with Chick fil a and a yard sale with all proceeds going to the adoption.
We want to leave you with a verse. God commands that we take care of the widows and orphans. We aren’t all called to adopt, but we are all called to take care of orphans. Here is one way you can do just that. James 1:27 – “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
We are blessed with such wonderful family and friends. Thank you all for joining with us on this amazing journey. We are so excited to share it with you all.
To contribute, just visit www.adopttogether.org and search for Mabry. We have been told it is very simple. 
Love you all, Nathan, Rachel and kids
