As Mike and I began to research fundraising options for Madison's adoption, a friend sent us a link to www.justlovecoffee.com, and after reading about this organization, we decided that we felt the Lord leading us to use this route. We loved the company, the idea behind it, and the fact that while raising money to fund our own adoption, we would also be raising money to help and orphanage in Ethiopia!!
Here is more info on the company, Just Love Coffee:
Rob Webb knows coffee. When Rob was two years old, his father started Webb's Coffee Service, which blossomed into a full-blown refreshment service supplying businesses in Nashville, TN and the surrounding areas, and is now run by Rob.
Rob Webb knows the adoption process. In the summer of 2008, Rob and his wife Emily were called to adopt from Ethiopia. After much prayer and discussion with their first two children they started their adoption journey in August 2008. During the flurry of paperwork and preparation, Rob & Emily read books not only on adoption in general, but specifically on Ethiopia. Learning that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee caught Rob's attention, and after reading about the living conditions and wages of the average coffee farmer, he was compelled to take action. What developed through his reading and his trip to Ethiopia to unite with his daughters was a realization that he could combine his expertise and longstanding desire to roast his own coffees with his desire to help others. Just Love Coffee Roasters was born! Roasting Fair Trade Specialty coffees, Just Love uses proceeds to help an Ethiopian orphanage and families adopting not just from Ethiopia, but from anywhere in the world.
We are so blessed to be adopting through foster care becuase the amount we have to raise is minimal compared to an international adoption, but there still are some fees that we need to take care of.
This is such an easy fundraisier, both for us and for you! Alll you have to do is go to Our Store, choose the coffee you want, purchase it and wait for it to be delivered!! Its sooo easy and the coffee is super good and super fresh!
Please feel free to pass this info on to all your friends and family. This would make an amazing Christmas present... great coffee AND helping orphans. James 1:27 at its finest!!!
Thanks in advance for your consideration in this! We are sooo blessed to have friends and family like all of you who are willing to help a great little girl get her biggest wish of being adoption!! I know I cant wait until Madison is truly ours... and I know that she cant wait to be a Matson!!

Its been a few days since I checked in on you all and wow you have been busy! With Dee Dee, just remain consistant, offer plenty of one on one time, and a ton of tough love. She needs to understand that you are the parent, and what you say goes.
ReplyDeleteIf shes taking too long to eat, maybe set a time for 30 min after 30 min, its time to clear the table.
Good luck!
