The First Day of Giving - The Rippee's

I am SO excited to be highlighting different families that are stepping out in faith to adopt.  It is my hope that by highlighting these families that God will move on the hearts of many people to GIVE during this season so that a child can have a forever family.  Please spread the word about these families so the children have the best opportunity to get home soon.  You can grab the blog button on the sidebar and use it if you like.

Please feel free to link to the blog posts from your blogs so more people can experience the BLESSING of GIVING this Christmas season.
Our first family is The Rippee's.  Here is their profile:

Randy and Rita Rippee are volunteers in China where they run a Forever Home for older girls. They have been pre-approved for this adoption PRIOR to their homestudy (required since their Chinese income is less than U.S. standard of living and adoption levels as they live IN CHINA and deal with a different standard of income level.) AND they just completed their homestudy! PTL. They have been matched with a young girl. They are going on FAITH that the funds to complete her adoption will come in at just the right time. TOTAL FAITH! And so far ... God has provided right when needed. Please check out their adoption website here:




Donations can be made on the sidebar of their website OR email them ritasblessings@gmail.com if you would like to send a check.
They have 2 adopted daughters already and 2 grown children who reside here in the States. You can contact their Stateside Fundraising Coordinator at almquist@fmtcs.com with any questions! Merry Christmas!!
