Just Love Coffee....

As we are coming closer to our USCIS appointment, we are also getting closer to our big payment of thousands of dollars. We have faith that God will provide, but wanted to remind all of you coffee drinkers that Just Love Coffee has great coffee, and every bag you buy donates $5.00 towards our adoption! So, drink up and enjoy!! They sell fair trade coffee from all over Africa, where coffee was originated from! They also sell clothing, mugs, etc. Makes great Christmas gifts!

We are not wanting to make our blog about fundraising, but it is apart of the adoption process. The country of Ethiopia does not receive a profit off of international adoption, but the cost is still enormous! Thanks everyone for supporting our adoption! 100% of the proceeds will go towards bringing our girl home!

Hey, just noticed they have some cute new t-shirts! Check them out! If you order them from the address above your also helping us bring our girl home! They also have some great Christmas coffee! Happy Holidays friends!

Cup of Love shirt. The steam says love in different languages!

Have a Nice Day shirt. The coffee stain is a smile!!
