A Video of AnaLei and approved for a Matching Grant!

We have a video of AnaLei "Zou, Chun Lei" that we wanted to share :).  It's hard to believe how sick she is because she looks so good and precious (spoken like a mommy).  You will notice they comment on how blue her fingers get only after about 4-5 seconds of crying :(.  We are making medical plans now for her care immediately upon returning home.  I spoke to our team at CHOP this week and it looks like we will travel there 2-4 weeks after we are home.  She will first be seen here by our pediatrician and cardiologist.  Plans, plans, plans.

We also have exciting news!!  Not only have we been approved to fundraise through Lifesong for Orphans, a Christian non-profit organization, but we have also been granted a $3000 matching grant through Lifesong from a church in Colorado!!  We feel so blessed that they are going outside of their church walls to help bring orphans home and put into families where they are treasured children.  This means we need to raise $3000 in order to get that matching grant!

I will start putting a link to Lifesong for Orphans for those who feel called to help bring AnaLei home through financial giving.  We know that not all are called to give - and that is perfectly okay!  Prayer is our #1 need during this process.  For those that do want to give - I will attempt to put a link in this post that you can donate to help bring AnaLei home through Lifesong.  A couple of things to note - Lifesong is a 501c3 so ALL donations are tax deductible and 100% of donations go to the adoption.  We feel blessed beyond measure that God sees fit to give us another child and that some are called to help bring her home through financial help and prayer. 

If you choose to donate towards our adoption to bring home AnaLei please ensure you put "Mann #5065" in the info section of the donation site or the for section of a check to ensure it goes towards AnaLei's adoption.  Thank you friends and family for your support!
