At long last, we are ready to introduce: BECAUSE OF ISAAC Only the announcement of the adoption/birth of our children have I been this excited to put up a post on my blog. I am so very excited to finally get to share this with the world. The goal of Because of Isaac is very simple: We want to help raise funds to help childless couples adopt. We are starting with a couple very near and dear to our heart: JB's older sister Elizabeth and her husband Grant. But it is our hope that if this first adoption goes as planned, we will be able to spread our wings and continue onward ... helping more and more childless couples hold their child for the very first time just as we did with our little Isaac. But we need to your help! In order for this organization to get off the ground, I am seeking the support and prayers of people close to us. Blog readers. Facebook friends. Family. Friends. Acquaintances. While we will be moving forward with advertisement of various means, the way that this will most be spread is by word-of-mouth. Or by word-of-web! Please take some time to visit our website. And then I am asking you to do the following:
1. Pray for this organization and for Grant & Elizabeth.
2. Post a link to: Because of Isaac on your blog. Post it on Facebook. And send an email to those in your contact list.
3. Pledge to donate $100 BUT ...
4. ... if you cannot financially donate $100 would you pledge (to yourself) to FIND 10 people to donate $10 each? If we can find 250 people to donate $100 (or a combination there-of) we will reach our goal of $25,000 -- the estimated amount for Grant & Elizabeth to become parents. I have nearly that many people who read my blog each day. I am so very excited to share this with all of you! How amazing will it be for each of us to know that we contributed to a family's creation! Please spread the word today!

Beautiful website Wen.
Praying!
It's hard to see to write through the tears-I cry every time I think about the fact that soon they will be able to hold their own child for the first time!
Thank you just doesn't convey what I feel-but you know how hard it is to express the gratitude you feel for your boys:)It's such a blessing to see what you guys have done-I know the Lord will use "Because of Isaac" to not only help fulfill Elizabeth and Grant's dream and answer their prayers but over the years do the same for many other couples who long to have a child of their own. So thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing the Lord to use you in this way:)
love, mom k
