Gold for Good Campaign | Hornbaker Adoption

As many of you know by now, we have begun the process for the Adoption of Baby Hornbaker. We’ve appreciated the prayer and support you’ve given us as we have started this journey. You can read more about our journey, the fears and future here at our blog. You might also know that the process is rather lengthy AND expensive (around $25,000). And let’s face it, we didn’t get into full time ministry to get rich! We’d like to ask if you would consider joining us in a campaign to help us reach our goal so that the Adoption of Baby Hornbaker can become a reality. 

Here is where you come in: 
We’ve partnered with Exodus 35 campaigns (ex35.org) to do a “Gold for Good” campaign. This type of campaign would simply ask if you’d be willing to donate your used, broken or unwanted Gold on our behalf for our Adoption. The proceeds would then be melted down at a refinery, with the proceeds going directly for the Adoption. We are believing and praying that friends would be willing to give away the gold that has been given to them for a great cause. Feel free to share this with anyone else you think might be willing to give to our campaign. 

Here is how it works: 
1) Locate any unwanted, broken, used gold or silver jewelry that you would be willing to donate. 
2) Email us at thehornbakers@gmail.com letting us know that you have something to donate on behalf of the Adoption, and we can arrange for pickup or provide you with a mailing address to send the items.

Thank you so much for considering giving to our Adoption Campaign. We are SO appreciative and could not begin to tell you enough how thankful we are.

    IWould you consider adopting from foster care? I don't think there is a cost to the family.

    To answer the question if we would consider foster care adoption. The truth is we have considered foster care, but what we have learned that it is very rare that there are infants in foster care. After struggling with infertility for many of years, we do not desire to have children come into our lives for a short time and we truly desire to have the infant experience as this may be the only way. Sadly it seems that the only way this will happen is through a private agency or independent adoption, which is a costly process. Our hearts desire would be to adopt a baby that would otherwise be aborted. Thank you for your question.

Adoption Myths and Facts

So as we wait…we thought we would share some adoption myths and facts. 1.       Myth : Adoption is second-best. Fact : Adoption may be another way, but it is never second-best.   2.       Myth : Birthparents can show up at any time to “reclaim” their child. Fact : Once an adoption is finalized, it is permanent, and the adoptive parents are legally recognized as the child’s parents.   3.      Myth : Birthparents are irresponsible and don’t care about their child. Fact : Birthparents want the best for their child. They make an adoption plan because they knew they are not able to take care of the child.   4.       Myth : Adoptive parents don’t love their child as much as parents in families formed through biology. Fact : The love is the same, regardless of the family is formed.   5.      Myth :   Infants available for adoptio...

Our Journey Begins

So as some of you know and others of you don't know, Josh and I are starting the adoption process. We decided to start this blog so that our friends and family could keep up with us throughout the journey. Our prayer as we go through this journey is that first and foremost we see God working more and more each day and that the people in our lives see God. To catch everyone up, this decision did not come instantly nor did it come without some struggle and pain. We have been trying to have a family for five years now. We thought that we would have a family as soon as Josh graduated from seminary and then after we had a few biological children we would adopt a child. But little did we know those were our plans not God's plan. Through the past five years we have struggled, prayed, cried, tried some fertility treatments, and in the end no baby Hornbaker. Over the past year, through much prayer the Lord has guided us toward adoption. That in of itself was quite a process. One minute...

It may be a little crazy!

Just One! Thats all it takes to be apart of something bigger! Obviously you have learned from reading this blog that we care about the orphans in the world and our prayer is that other people will do the same. But sometimes in life it is so difficult to think that you could help or make a difference. But really you can. Do you drink a soda, tea, or coffee that cost $1? Then you could help. My husband and I started thinking and realizing that first of all people want to help but times are tough and it is difficult to help out others sometimes ecspecially in the economy we live in. Then we also thought that people know people and sometimes a ton of people. Just think about how many people you have on your facebook or that you work with. So we are trying something that is a little crazy but just might work. We are asking our friends to sacrifice one drink and send us that one dollar and then to ask their friends. The hardest part will be mailing the dollar or taking the time to do the...
