Right before Christmas I (Heather) won this great necklace from a giveaway at

 Sweet Country Life

I ordered one for the girl and it arrived just in time to make a beautiful Christmas gift.

Don't you just love the scripture on it?  I pray this is something that my children will always do!

This beautiful necklace was made by Kate at The Adopt Shoppe.  But even more beautiful than the necklace is the story behind The Adopt Shoppe.  I want to introduce you to Kate and a special little girl.  Here's Kate's story:

My husband and I have been married for 11 years. We lost 2 baby boys before we had our 2 bio children, Madison & Mason. After M & M, the doctors said we couldn't have any more children. We've always wanted to adopt, but didn't know where or how to start.

 A friend told me about some missionaries in Taiwan that help women there that are willing to give birth to their babies and make an adoption plan for them instead of having abortions--which is incredibly common and VERY accepted, even encouraged there. We did some research on Taiwan. They worship SO many gods over there still. Pretty much any and every god but the TRUE and living God in heaven. My heart broke for these women/girls that had very little options/ no one to turn to or help/ and no faith in God.

We wanted to ensure that at least one of these babies from Taiwan grew up knowing without a doubt that God the Father loves her.

We brought Mia home in August. She was 5 1/2 months old when we brought her home.

If you've adopted before, you know the cost involved. When we traveled in August, it was in the peak traveling time to/from Taiwan, apparently! We had to charge the outrageous cost of the plane tickets to a credit card. That's what I'm working to pay off. And after that is done, we will start saving to bring another little one into a Christian home!  Thank you SO much for your help in our adoption(s) and for your interest in our story!

Blessings!
Joyfully and with much love,
Kate



You won't be on this blog long before realizing that here At The Picket Fence, adoption is near and dear to our hearts!  We wanted to support Kate and The Adopt Shoppe, because we believe that EVERY child deserves a home of their own!
