Handmade African Necklaces Make GREAT GIFTS!

These beautiful handmade necklaces come in three styles. "Style A" (pictured above LEFT)is a long necklace (or could be used as a bracelet) of colorful beads. It's approximately 48" in length, and it's one of those pieces that people always ask about. "Style B" (picture RIGHT) is the Metal Medallion (approx. 18-20"). "Style C" (pictured RIGHT - below) is similar to Style B, but is a handcrafted and hand-painted wooden medallion.

All 3 styles are available for $20 each, plus $5 shipping and handling. The same "Buy Now" link can be used that we set-up for T-SHIRTS - just please specify which Style Necklace you would like - OR what size T-SHIRT you want.

Again, Thank You so much for helping us bring our boys home, and for being a part of our miracle!

FAQ

When will you get the boys?

The time frame for adopting children in the waiting program from Ethiopia is about 6 – 9 months. The earliest possible date would be December ‘09, which would be amazing.

Are they full orphans?

Yes, both parents have passed away. They arrived at Hannah’s Hope Orphanage on May 19, 2009. It’s an amazing and wonderful place that provides a care-mother for every three children. We are confident that they are being well cared for during this process as they await their “forever home”.

Do you go to Ethiopia to pick them up?

Yes, we will need to be in Ethiopia for about 7 days to complete this process. We are not permitted to go to the orphanage or to see the boys until the Courts in Ethiopia approve our completed Adoption Dossier (which could possibly be in early December). Until that time, they are being lovingly cared for by the Caregivers at Hannah's Hope Orphanage in Ethiopia.

Do they speak English?

They can say their ABC’s and count-to-10 in English, but the language at the orphanage is Amharic. They are actually from the southern part of Ethiopia where the language is Wolaytta. There is no Rosetta-Stone program for Wolaytta, so we are learning a little Amharic. We will need to teach the boys English, so we’re learning how to do that as well.

How much will this cost?

The cost to adopt one child from Ethiopia is approximately $25,000. Due to the fact that we are adopting siblings it will be approximately $40,000 with travel. Because of a small family inheritance and all of our savings, we have about $10,000 towards this need. We will are raising an additional $30,000. So far, we have been blessed to raise about $18k, leaving us with a goal of raising an additional $12,000. We are rejoicing in faith as we watch God meet our needs!

Besides asking friends and family to help us, we are making T-shirts to sell, as well as making available some handmade African necklaces, all of which will help us toward our financial goal of bringing our boys home without incurring debt. We know that where God guides, He provides – so we eagerly anticipate His miraculous provision as we move forward in the direction of our two new sons.
