Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Our Adoption Fundraiser Puzzle Finally Arrived Today!
I was so excited today when our puzzle for the adoption fundraiser arrived. We are going to be busy this weekend!! As of early today, we have officially have 80 pieces purchased! What that means is, we have 80 pieces with names on them that have helped with this adoption journey. I know we have a lot more to go, being that this is a 1000 piece puzzle, but what I can tell you is that God has been amazing! Dave and I have been overwhelmed by so many of your hearts, kind words, encouragement and donations. Wow! It literally takes my breath away when I look at my list of different names and think about how our children will be able to see how many people participated in their adoption story. It just blesses us immensely! Thank you just doesn't do it justice! I am hoping by Sunday I can show you a picture of all the pieces with the names on them. :)

| Will you be a "piece" of the puzzle? |
So here it is, our first and most likely, only fundraiser....Dave and I have purchased a 1000 piece puzzle that is going to be placed in a double-sided frame that we will place next to all three of our children's room. Basically, you can donate $5.00 a puzzle piece that will go towards our adoption. When you purchase a puzzle piece we are going to place you or your family's name on it. If all pieces are accounted for, we will be able to raise $5,000.00 towards our goal of $20,000!! When the puzzle is complete, our children will be able to see who took a part in bringing them home. They will get to see how their adoption story is part of one big love story. If you would like a "piece" of this puzzle you can find the donation link below or leave a comment with your email or phone number and I can message you our address. Please DO NOT feel obligated, this is strictly if you so desire. I intend to post occasional updates as we receive pieces. When the puzzle is complete, I will post a picture of the final product! We can't wait to see it finished! I can't imagine how cool it will be for our kids to get to see how so many different people took part of their little lives. Feel free to send this information to a friend if you believe they would enjoy participating, but don't read blogs or Facebook.
Above all else, we just want to thank you all for always being such a tremendous support for us and for all of your prayers. None of our adoptions would have been possible without your endless support, love, encouragment and prayers. We know that we are extremely blessed to have you in our lives!
Love
The Herren Family - David, Ashlynn, Kyler, Charlie & ????
The puzzle is perfectly named "Its a Zoo!"
A Perfect Picture of Open Adoption!
To me, this picture is such a beautiful example of an open adoption! To me, it doesn't get much sweeter than this. These flowers arrived for me on the Saturday before Mother's Day with a card wishing me a Happy Mother's Day. The reason it was so special was because they were from my son's birth family. My breath was taken away because I felt so unworthy. This is a day that I only get to celebrate because of them. I could go on forever, but the picture says it all!
