#BringEmmaHome T-Shirt Fundraiser



All of our paperwork is complete and submitted so we are now just waiting to see a picture of our Emma!!!!!! This means we are getting close to traveling to China and we need your help!  We are selling tshirts to help with our in country expenses (orphanage fees, legal fees, travel, etc).   

We are taking pre-orders for the rest of January, and we'll be placing our order on Friday, January 31st. Expect delivery mid-February. 

The design is printed on the front of the shirt and a huge shout out to Sarah Largen for the design and Drew Chapman at Threads Screen Printing and Embroidery for printing these for us!!!!

The adult shirts are softwashed shirts in gray (the design background color). Adults sizes S-XXXL are $20. Kids shirts are $15 and come in YS-YL.

So how do you order? Please email wesleyclaire@yahoo.com or comment on this post. You can pay through PayPal on the sidebar (Please make sure your shipping address is correct, and include sizes needed, shipping info, etc. in the comments section). If you prefer, I'll also give you our address to mail checks.

We appreciate everyone's support. Again, thank you all so much for helping us step out in faith! Our fundraising allows God to make Himself known through this process...it's MUCH too big for us to do alone! When we reach our goal, He'll obviously get all the glory! It also allows you to be part of our little girl's story and allows you to care for the orphan in your own way! Just think....all that from a T-shirt! :)

One Step Closer!


Well, 2013 has come and gone.  The last year has involved a lot of change in our family.  We began the adoption process, J accepted a new job, we moved back to Jackson, Ella Kate and Walker started at a new school, we have established our new normal, and many more special memories have happened along the way.  Now we are 2 days in to 2014 and we are hopeful that this year brings along a trip to China to bring home our little girl.  In the midst of all the excitement that came with Christmas, I couldn't help but think about Emma in an orphanage on the other side of the world.  It just breaks my heart but I am trusting in the Lord since He is orchestrating this whole process and in His perfect way and in His perfect time we will bring Emma home to her forever family who so desperately want her here with us.  Today, we took a step to bring us one step closer!!!  We submitted our Dossier to global!!! Woo Hoo!!!!! I feel like a giant weight has been lifted since there is really nothing else to do now but wait.  We are so very thankful to have the enormous paper trail behind us! So, here's to 2014 and becoming a family of 5!!!!!!
