Great Financial Provision for one of our clients...

WOW!!! Our God is so good. He is so faithful!! The Harmans just called to share with us a great story, a story of how the Lord financially provided for their adoption. So I am going to share their sweet story!!

Three weeks before their adoption, before they even knew about their precious baby boy, Danielle was in a car accident. It was a pretty bad car accident, one that caused pretty severe burns to her hands and arms. So, after she was taken to the hospital and all bandaged up, she thought that was the end of that. Her van was repaired, and all was taken care of by the other drivers insurance. Well, the story isn't over. As her hands were burning, she cried out to GOd, "Why, Why now, we are in the middle of an adoption, WHY NOW?" Well several weeks later, God provided the answer!! She was called by one of the insurance workers, they were closing out her case, and wanted to make sure her van was all fixed, and to check on her burns. She asked if she had any pain. Danielle responded "No, Praise the Lord, I have no pain, scarring, but no pain!!" Well, scarring was the magic word. The insurance worker said, "Scarring, is it bad?" Danielle said "Pretty bad, 50/50 chance it will never go away!" The insurance worker told her to send pictures. So, she did!!

Yesterday, Danielle called to tell me the insurance company offered her a settlement of $15k. Yes, $15k. The Lord provided the rest of the money needed for their adoption!!! That covers the adoption expenses that were not already covered by grants and such!! BOy, is GOd good!! She said she is wearing her scars as a badge of honor!!! I love it!!! God provides in the most unique ways!!! Don;t be surprised when he provides your financial needs for your adoption in the most UNIQUE way!!!

I just had to share that, she had no idea when she asked God during that car accident, "WHY" that it was going to help financially provide for their beautiful baby boy!!!

Adoption Tax Credit

Apparently, Capitol Hill is trying to make the decision to discontinue the adoption tax credit. I copied and pasted this off of another blog:


The adoption community is receiving conflicting messages about the future
of Adoption Tax Credit. There are some talks on the Capitol Hill about
doing away with the Adoption Tax Credit, which will affect thousands of
adoptive families who are still waiting to complete their adoptions.

Representative Jim DeMint, R-South Carolina, is sponsoring legislation
that will make permanent the adoption tax credit and adoption assistance
programs, which are set to expire in 2010. The legislation known as the
Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act has the support of more than 100 members
of the House of Representatives. Rep. DeMint spearheaded enactment of The
Hope for Children Act in the 107th Congress, which doubled the adoption
tax credit from $5,000 to $10,000, though with a sunset provision. The
Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act would make the effect of the Hope for
Children Act lasting and would benefit future generations.

A permanent adoption tax credit presents a win-win situation as it
promotes adoption, all the while making good economic sense. Adoption can
be expensive, usually costing anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000, a
prohibitive cost for many taxpayers. The need for, and appropriateness of,
a permanent adoption tax credit could not be clearer, with the numbers of
individuals considering adoption at an all time high and the numbers of
children available for adoption increasing. And, adoption benefits all
society, not only those who adopt or are adopted, because children raised
in loving, stable families grow up to be good citizens and productive
members of their communities.

Please, go to www.house.gov to e-mail your Congressional representative,
asking him or her to support the Adoption Tax Relief Guarantee Act. You
can also go HERE for more information about Rep. DeMint's legislation.
