Tax-Deductible Donations Opportunity

We received word today that Lifesong for Orphans has opened an account for us! We applied back in December, so we are grateful that they reviewed our account and have decided to let us fund raise through them. Lifesong for Orphans is a 501(c)3 organization that does many things, one of which partnering with fundraising families to make it easier for others to donate money in a tax-deductible way.

What this means is that, if you feel led, you can donate to our adoption account and it will be tax-deductible for you.

How to do this:

Mail a check to:
     Lifesong for Orphans
     McGee/ Account #2563
     PO Box 40
     Gridley, IL 61744

The check must be written to Lifesong for Orphans. When you write a check, you must put "McGee/#2563" on the memo line. 100% of what you give will go to fund our adoption. We will submit receipts for our adoption costs and they will reimburse us the amount needed. Our account expires May 22, 2012 (which hopefully Israel will be home then!!).

As far as need goes, we have left to pay for our second trip travel expenses, in-country costs, and our post-adoption reports. This could range between $2-6,000. We don't know exactly what costs we have left to acquire until we book our flights, which will be about 1-3 days before we leave for Ethiopia.

Thank you so much for your generosity! Please do not feel pressured to give, but know that we appreciate all of the sacrifices everyone has made for our son. We could not be more humbled and grateful already!  We are confident in God's timing and financial provision for us; we know He will provide exactly what we need in the exact timing. I laugh a bit at the timing of getting this phone call from Lifesong today, when we could travel in just a few weeks. Just yesterday I was talking with a college student about how God provides exactly on time and not a minute sooner; and how this adoption process has taught us how sovereign God is!

  1. We should accept orphans as gifts from god. We definitely should donate here because it's a group of some innocent orphans. Thanks for share here such a great impressive donation opportunity! We the richest people should support them hugely to raise funds online than wasting money on other unnecessary campaigns.
