How you can Help

This adoption journey will take a village. We thank you, thank you, thank you for BEING THE VILLAGE. Here are some ways that you can help bring our little man home:



PRAY:

• Ways you can pray:
  -For the process to go smoothly and in God’s timing, not ours.
  -For our family (all 6 of us) to be prepared for the adjustment of bringing home our son.
  -For our hearts to be longing for and loving this precious child whom we have never seen or met.
  -For our son, as he will probably endure physical hardships in Ethiopia until we can bring him home. That he will have good caregivers who love him and meet his physical and emotional needs as best they can.
  -For our son’s birth parents. That they will be safe, healthy and most of all know the love of the Savior.
  -For God to grow us and stretch us spiritually during this process.
  -For God to fully provide the finances for the adoption. There is no price that can be placed on the life of our child. However, adoption is very expensive and we want to have faith at all times that God will provide above and beyond our expectations for something he has called us to.

GET THE WORD OUT:

• Share our blog and FB page (Mcginty Adoption: 8,568 miles) with your friends and family (facebook is a great way to do this). You can also follow our blog by entering your e-mail address at the bottom. You will get automatic updates when we have new posts. The more people hear our story, the more God will touch hearts and prompt others to pray, encourage, share and give.

DONATE:

• You can participate in one of the many fundraisers that we will be doing throughout the process. Keep an eye on our FUNDRAISING PAGE.
• You can just straight up give. No amount is too small...every dollar helps. We have a donate button on the home page (paypal does take a percentage of that donation) or you can send a check directly to us at:                                                                                                                    PO BOX 1171 Mandeville, LA 70470

HOST A FUNDRAISER:

• Do you sell anything or offer a service? You can be part of our adoption story. Would you be willing to sell your product or offer your service and donate part of the proceeds to bring our son home?
• Get creative: Have a garage sale, host a dinner, or come up with a totally awesome original idea. You don't even have to live close by to do this. You can have fun while helping.
• Do you have an item, service or gift basket that we could raffle off or put in an online auction?

ENCOURAGE:

• The adoption process is LOOOONG and tedious. It is stressful and can be full of lots of waiting and fully trusting God and his timing. If God prompts you, send us a word of encouragement, chances are when you feel led to send us one, we will need it.
