blessed by adoption

If you know me at all, you know I’m a t-shirt kind of girl. So much so that t-shirts comprise roughly 96% of (the upper half of) my entire wardrobe. (Which is probably why my shoulders are FREAKING OUT and peeling like snakeskin after a few days at the pool. “Easy, girl!,” they scream. “We have never even SEEN the sun!”)

Anyway. My favorite kind of t-shirt is one that means something, that supports some kind of cause (I’m hankering to do a post one of these days showing off all my tees.). And as of today, I have a new favorite:

My friend Megan and her husband Pete have two beautiful children and feel God leading them to adopt (domestically–North Carolina specifically). They’re raising money to cover the adoption expenses, and a friend designed these beautiful t-shirts to help their cause.

And may I tell you everything I love about them? Because there is MUCH to love!

1. This shade of gray is my FAVE.

2. I LOVE blue and green.

3. I LOVE trees.

4. I think “blessed by adoption” is just the coolest phrase to put on a t-shirt, because who hasn’t been blessed by adoption in some way? I have cousins who are adopted and friends who are adopted and friends who have adopted (or are hoping to). And I’ve been adopted into God’s family.

5. The shirts are only $12. I know!

Here’s the first take of my t-shirt modeling.

Poor Gabe. So, his camera’s broken, and he’s been doing all his 1photoperday.com stuff on his iPhone. He uploaded this pic to Flickr from his phone and didn’t notice I looked drunk. I told him I’d use it anyway, but he insisted on taking another one (the one above where my eyes are still half-closed but only because I’m staring into the setting sun).

So, hop on over to Megan’s site and get yourself (and your friends) a t-shirt. They come in kids’ sizes too!

And here’s how Ava chose to spend her Day #1 of her Multiple Birthday Celebrations (she turns 8 on Sunday). Her friend Madison spent the day at the pool with us, then we made homemade pizzas and went to Dave & Buster’s with FREE and BOGO coupons. Madison won FIVE stuffed animals in the claw game. Fun times!

Have a great weekend, friends! And if you have a minute, I’d love to hear how you’ve been blessed by adoption.

p.s. I have 5 more Restaurant Super-Saver Books for $15 a pop (all proceeds go toward our Cambodia trip). First come, first served! Let me know if you’d like one!

    I Love this t-shirt! I may need to post this on my blog…

    My life has been forever changed by adoption. Unlike all of the other comments so far, I sit on the other side of adoption… I am a birth mom. Now, I am an adoption case worker helping those who are facing unplanned pregnancies, I reunite adoptees with the birth family & have an open adoption with my amazing 16 year old daughter that I once thought I would never see again.

    I have been so blessed by adoption!
