1. There really hasn't been much news to share. Our agency is referring babies to families at a slow pace right now. They have been fundraising to meet a new requirement in Taiwan that would enable them (Taiwan Xi En) to place children independently. They expect referrals to increase once they have met their goal. ***Good news: Taiwan Xi En has reached 74% of their goal. If you'd like to help I have a few more baby bottles where you can collect change to help them reach their goal. Just comment on this post if you'd like one and I will be happy to get it to you. You can fill a baby bottle, you can hand them out at work, or you can donate directly here. God is providing and it is so exciting to see it!!
2. We have been in full on craft show mode. You can also purchase our items on facebook here and on etsy here. They make great Christmas gifts! Be on the look out for some deals before Christmas! Here are some of the items we are making and selling to raise funds for our adoption.
Brian makes wire crosses...
And Nathanael and I make yummy striped lollipops called Jollypops. These make great party favors or stocking stuffers and you can choose from several colors...
Thank you so much for praying for us during this adoption journey. We really need it! Waiting is so difficult, yet we know that God is in control. He has confirmed to us that he will provide for our adoption and we are trusting HIM.
Love to all of you,
The Shuberts
