SAMPLE SUPPORT LETTER

 

 

Dear Family and Friends,

 

            We want to share our exciting news with you! We are adopting a little boy from Romania! He will be between two and four years old and should be living with us by next summer.

            We have wanted to adopt for some time and truly believe the Lord has led us to this precious boy. We are excited about the opportunity to offer at least one child-in-need a family to love and the opportunity to learn about Jesus.

            Adoption is a wonderful way to build a family but it is not an inexpensive venture. Our adoption expenses including document preparation and translation, hiring of attorneys and other professionals in the U.S. and Romania, travel, hotels, passports and more will cost in excess of $17,000. We are using a wonderful agency in Denver, Colorado called “Children are Forever.”

We have paid $5000.00 of the amount and are excited to see how God will provide the remainder.

            Recently we learned of Kingdom Kids Adoption Ministries, an organization that gives grants to families for adoptions. Through this organization people can make a tax-deductible donation towards adoption expenses! We have enclosed additional information about this fundraising/grant plan.

            Please call or email us with any questions you may have regarding our situation. We are happy to talk about this wonderful adventure. Also, the Kingdom Kids staff is available to you Monday through Friday, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. PST.  Please contact them at (509) 465-3520 or email them at donnab@KingdomKidsAdoption.org.Their website is www.KingdomKidsAdoption.org.

            Prayerfully consider our family in your giving. We are excited about what God is going to do in our lives through this child. Thank you in advance for your prayers and support. May the Lord bless you.

 

With full hearts,

  

John and Susan Smith

P.S. If you decide to assist us in our fundraising and wish to do so by check please DO NOT include our names anywhere on the check. IRS regulations do not allow for a tax-deductible donation to have any name other than the tax-exempt organization written on it. The donor must fully understand that the ultimate disposition of the donated funds is at the sole discretion of KKAM. Kingdom Kids will make every reasonable effort to disburse the donated funds with the desire of the donor in mind. Thank you so much.
