These last few weeks have been HUGE in the adoption process. We've been blessed beyond belief; donations from across the country, SO many people who've given us time at events & fundraisers..you all are in our hearts forever. The prayers keep us all going:)! I am so excited, SO EXCITED, to say that we are down to needing less than $10,000. It is because of ALL OF YOU! We are so close to bringing Dasha home..we'll continue to draw from our own account to add to her fund, as well as maybe 1 or 2 more events. She has to be here by February...so we still need to push hard. But we are 150% that our 5th daughter will be here soon. Thank you...
I just got off the phone with one of the strongest women I have ever known. Amy is Violet's mom...you all know Violet because we've mentioned her several times...I know many of you prayed for her as she worked so hard to fight cancer. Al and I asked Dasha a few months ago (in our letter) to accept our last name, and the middle name Violet. She said she would love to:)...we wanted to also get permission from Amy & Justin. They agreed...
We are honored to say that soon we will be a family of 7, with the addition of Dasha Violet Littel. To us, the name Violet means strength, courage, bravery, angelic, faith, hope, and love. It is beautiful, and is forever embedded in our hearts. Our beautiful new daughter is named after an angel who changed 100s of lives in her 6 short months on earth. We love the Rhoads family, and we are so grateful they've allowed us to carry Violet's name on, into our family.
God is so perfect...
