Traveling and Fundraising

Last night, June 9, Kim and I traveled to Liberty Baptist Church in Waynesboro, MS. My grandmother, Ninny, is a member there, and I have known Brother Phillip Gandy and many of the members since I was a little boy. We had a great time; I got to play four songs and bring a message about my and Kim's journey, as well as God's purpose for adoption. Liberty is truly a loving, generous church.

One of Kim's friends shared this adoption video with us: Watch and be blessed!

Homestudy? Check!

Hi friends,
We are excited to say that we finished our last homestudy interview a week ago! It went very well and I may or may not have teared up at the end. :)  The whole discussion made the process seem REAL, and I was overwhelmed with the honor and excitement of adopting. I absolutely cannot wait until we get the call to head to Hungary! The next step is to wait for our homestudy report to be finished, apply for some grants, and complete immigration paperwork to be approved for adoption overseas! 

In the mean time, we will attend The Connection Conference at the end of this month! We are looking forward to learning more about the joys and trials of international adoption as well as meeting other families who are going through the same process.

Adoption fundraiser T-shirts are going all over the place! We are so thankful for the support we've received and for your excitement about these T-shirts!

 These are our dear friends from college, and their son! We are so thankful for their friendship over the years and their support in our adoption journey! They live in Hernando, Mississippi, and are proudly showing off the T-shirts!

This is Caroline! She was a student in my class when she was in kindergarten. Her sweet mom has been following our adoption journey, and they've both supported us by buying T-shirts! 

Thanks, ladies!

If you bought a T-shirt, we'd love to see you in it; so send us a picture, and email it to me kimberlybonner528@gmail.com so you can be featured as well!!

Did you hear we have a new niece?!
This is Bren Gabrielle Bonner, and she was born May 30, 2013. 
Isn't she just perfect?! We are so excited that she lives less than a mile from us and cuddle her anytime!

Thanks again for reading!  We will keep you updated:)
