GREAT NEWS! We've decided to adopt a child! 

The Holland family is hoping to add a 4th child to our lives in the next year. We have applied with the Gladney Center for Adoption to join their Asia Waiting Child Program. It is our desire to adopt a little girl from China :) This little girl will most likely be 2-3 years of age, and needs to find her forever home. We are asking for your help in raising the funds necessary to complete the adoption process. The total cost is roughly $35,000. 

Someone's Missing: Help us bring our daughter home!

We've started a fundraiser on Pure Charity to raise the funding that we need to make our adoption a success.  Our initial goal between now and March 31st is $7000 which will go towards our total cost of 35,000. The initial $7000 will cover the first round of fees from Gladney due by March 31st. After that we will need to raise an additional $10,000 to cover the rest of the Gladney fees owed by the end of May. The remaining cost will include our travel and in country adoption fees to paid to the agencies in China. We will have more details on those deadlines as they come closer.  It's a lot of money, but God is a big God!
