Coolest House on the Block

This year is full of so many fun things! We're so excited to be on the journey to adopting our son or daughter and we're super stoked to have our community involved in the process with us. We're having a yard sale in order to raise some funds for our adoption and the amount of people donating is just amazing! The support we're getting just fills our hearts with so much joy. It's also filling our houses with a lot of stuff! So come on out on November 3rd, and buy some of it! We've got some good stuff, too!! Surf boards, Foosball Table, end tables, clothes from my closet, etc!

Another little way Matt and I are celebrating our adoption journey and spreading the word about adoption is with our neighbors this halloween! You see, Wendy's (yes, the fast food restaurant) is selling 10 free junior frosty coupons for a $1 donation to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. So...Matt and I plan to buy between 5 and 10 coupon booklets which will enable us to give out between 50 and 100 free junior frosty coupons to kids, instead of candy. It's fun, unique, and spreads the word about adoption to our community! On the back of the coupon it says, "There are more than 100,000 children in foster care who need a family right now. We're dedicated in helping them find loving, adoptive homes through our partnership with the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Wendy's Wonderful Kids Program. To learn more, please visit wendys.com/givingback. "

It's a fun way to share the news with our neighbors and spread the word about adoption as the option! I think sometimes when young people are faced with an unplanned pregnancy, they often wonder who will adopt their baby. They may think there isn't anyone out there willing. They may have never even met someone who has adopted before. So, we feel it's our calling to show people a couple that are adopting. Show them that there ARE loving people out there that would adoption their child. And show them that abortion is never, ever necessary.

So...stop by our home this halloween and you'll get a free junior frosty coupon from the Hamrick home celebrating life, celebrating adoption!
