POPPY DIP PLEA...


Dear Poppy Dip Supporters,
We have been to Ethiopia to see our son-- passed our court hearing-- and have returned home WITHOUT him to simply await our embassy date so we may return to pick him up and bring him home forever.



Long story short...
I was going to travel to pick him up... but upon meeting him... hearing his story (as we met his birth father-- )... seeing the connection made between Montie and Samson Jude... we feel that BOTH us of need to go to get him.




We are making a plea if anyone of you might feel led to give-- even just $10


You may click on the link below for a contribution (tax) credit in 2010... scroll down on the page to the 'donate' button and it will direct you to the PAYPAL page


please put COUCH 997 Adoption in the 'purpose'
Year End Giving Deadline: Donations must be received, postmarked or, in the case of credit card giving, charged by 12/31/10 in order for the donation to receive contribution credit in 2010.


the CHIP-IN/Plane tickets button at the top left side bar is also a way you may give... but will not count towards a tax credit.

We are home... our hearts are aching

~ to have our sweetest little Samson Jude home too...
We now will wait for our embassy date and hop on a plane back to Addis Ababa ETHIOPIA to bring him home... (in a matter of weeks --and we pray a short span!)
This was the most heart wrenching thing we have ever done, to have to leave him there. We trust fully in our great God, knowing He will take care of him.
