I know not all of you would read the adoption board so I wanted to share this post here too. We are "expecting" our 8th child!
Hi everyone,
I'm excited to share that we will be adopting Natalie, an 11 year old girl, from Liberia!! You can read more about her story at the blog I just started to chronicle her adoption process:
http://tippettsfornatalie.blogspot.com/
We just brought home twin 4yo boys from Liberia in June. It has gone so well that we decided to start the process again. We don't have the money to cover a second adoption so soon but we saw the doors open wide in the direction of adopting Natalie and we feel sure it is God's will so He will make it possible.
We have just launched a promising fundraiser. Take a look at the site:
http://tippettsfornatalie.onedollaradoption.com/
We are trying to find 9500 people who will donate $1 each. The key is to spread this link as far and wide as possible. I would be so appreciative if any of you would share this link and a bit of our story with your friends, on your blog or website, or anywhere else that you can think of.
We are so excited to bring Natalie into our family!
PS. For some reason I can only get those links to come through on the bottom of the page so here they are:

Mary thank you so much for wanting to support us! It really means a lot. There are several families in my Liberian adoption circle who are doing these $1 Adoption fundraisers and I thought it might be "getting old" in that circle. Being the only Catholic I had hope that I could turn to the Catholic homeschooling community with my site instead of asking the same people to pass my link around.
So yes a check can be made to Tippett Adoption Fund. I so appreciate it!

It is so great to see some donations from you ladies coming in. I'll try to keep you posted but you can also check out the nifty little thermometer on our Natalie blog that is measuring our fundraising efforts. We will also post updated photos of her and updates about her adoption process.
Pray for us!
