Hoffman Family Update

2017 has been a great year for our family. We started off the year with the decision to move forward on a second adoption and big house extension project. It has been kind of crazy living in a construction zone but we are making it work.

Our daughter finished kindergarten and started 1st grade. She loves science and geography and creating new things. This spring she started horse back riding lessons and loves horses more and more every day. Over the summer she made the Edgebrook Eels swim team and loved it. She is a strong swimmer and wants to continue with it. She is always dreaming up something new to create or to sell and is very persistent! She has sold cookies, yogurt, and seashells around our neighborshood and her and Adam started a car wash business with her own money. We love her determination and zeal even though she exhausts us most days. We pray that this leadership spirit will do great things in the world!

We, Adam and Melissa, celebrated 12 years of marriage this August with a little beach getaway. Adam has become a DIY home builder as he (and some amazing friends and family) has done most of the construction on our new extension. Melissa has enjoyed getting more involved in the homeschool community and serving with Awanas at the Summit.

Adoption Update

Now that we've been home study approved we've been working toward paperwork for loans and grants. We have almost completed the home addition that would provide the necessary space for a new baby. We've been working on our adoption profile at the same time. Funding is our largest obstacle remaining.

To help raise funds for our adoption costs we are selling some awesome shirts! Would you consider raising the culture of adoption and helping to fund our adoption through this T-shirt campaign? Our daughter loves to tell other adopted kids that they are superheroes too - what a cool way to build up the identity of our adoptive families.

If you are interested in making a special gift to fund the adoption, our mission agency has agreed to accept tax deducible charitable giving. Go to Donate via Frontier Ventures.

If you want more details on our adoption journey you can check out this detailed updated released just a bit ago. Update your subscription to include "Adoption Update" to receive more timely adoption updates.

Order these great T-Shirts and support adoption culture (& our adoption process)

Perspectives

What is Perspectives?

Perspectives is a fifteen week course designed around four vantage points or "perspectives" — Biblical, Historical, Cultural and Strategic. Each one highlights different aspects of God's global purpose.

The Biblical and Historical sections reveal why our confidence is based on the historic fact of God's relentless work from the dawn of history until this day.

The Cultural and Strategic sections underscore that we are in the midst of a costly, but very "do-able" task, confirming the Biblical and Historical hope.

Perspectives Vision ...

We are thankful for all the blessings and hardships that came with 2017. With this adoption on the horizon 2018 is looking like it will be quite the adventure! We are so thankful for you being a part of our family's journey and for your prayers!

Merry Christmas!!
