Chosen Child Adoption Fit Bands ... & MORE!!!

So many of you have been so generous by asking how you can help beyond buying a cookbook for our adoption.  We prayed & the Lord answered by guiding us to Worthy of the Prize!  I contacted Erin from WOTP to see how to order these amazingly CUTE fit bands and she actually emailed to see if we were interested in being a featured couple.  It was like the Lord plopped this amazing opportunity in our laps- He is so generous and takes care of His own, doesn't He?!?!  Here's the link to see us on their website/blog!  SOOOOO Excited!!!

What is a fit band, you ask??  Here's the answer... (ummm you gotta click on the word "here's" haha)  :)

Here's what the fit bands look like: 

Here's what the lanyard looks like (it will just have the look of the fit bands with the sayings on it):

Here's what the half loop looks like:

Here's what WOTP says about how these Chosen Child products came to be:

And why is it so special??

This band represents the orphans of the world. All of the "fatherless" children who are waiting for a home through adoption. It represents the beautiful families who are desperately trying to adopt these children but must wait until funds are raised and legalities are finalized.

"Sing to God, sing praise to His name, extol Him who rides on the clouds---His name is the Lord---and rejoice before Him. A father to the fatherless, a defender of the widows, is God in His holy dwelling!" (Psalm 68:4-5)

{Side note: Did you know that more women choose abortion over giving their child up for adoption? There is a stigmatism associated with adoption; women see it as abandoning their child! We need to get on our knees daily and pray that this mindset will change!}

The fabric:

We chose the "Make Life" fabric because children do "Make Life" fresh, simple, sunny, memorable, colorful, beautiful and all of the other words listed!

And this band will help "Make Life" all of these things for the children waiting to be adopted and the families waiting to adopt them!

The name:

We have decided to call this band the Chosen Child {Adoption Band} based on Ephesians 1:3-6, which says:

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will---to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves.

Just as God chooses to allow us to enter into His family as adopted sons and daughters through faith in His son Jesus Christ, these families are choosing to add children to their family through the miracle of adoption.

The coolest part:

We want to help these families! We have a strong passion for adoption here at Worthy of the Prize; every child deserves to be raised in a loving home!

As a result, for every one of these bands purchased, we will donate 1/2 the proceeds to help families raise money for their adoptions!

We will do this by sending checks to their adoption agencies in their name.

So, you're probably asking yourself - how can I buy one of these nifty things??
