All adoptions are different, whether it be the process, the time frame, or guidelines and restrictions. So we'd like to share with you all a few FAQ:
How can I see pictures of Eli?
While some agencies do allow for pictures to be shared once approved, our agency & adoption process does not allow for photos to be shared on social medias or blogs until returning home from Uganda. However, we have started putting together our email distribution list which will include photos. In order to be added to this list, please send an email to mcjad_99@hotmail.com with "Eli" as the subject. If you are not personally know to our family, please be sure to include your interest or connection to our adoption story.
When do you leave?
We don't know exactly but the estimated time frame is Sept/Oct 2013.
How long will you be gone?
Our adoption journey will take approximately 6 weeks (possibly a little longer). Please pray that all goes smoothly.
How can I keep up with your journey while you are in Uganda?

How can I keep up with your journey while you are in Uganda?
We will be posting on the blog as much as possible www.justpilgrimspassingthrough.blogspot.com (the blog will not include any photos of Eli) and we will also have an email distribution list (please see above on how to be added to this list).
How can I give financially towards your adoption?
We praise God and are so blessed to have our entire adoption fully funded. However, there is a family (The Deckard's) that is currently raising money for the following:
1. Giving to other families who wish to adopt
2. Giving to the baby's home our son is currently in, and/or
3. Bringing clean water (wells) to the region of Uganda that Eli is from.

For every $10 raised Soapbox Soap will donate a bar of soap to the orphanage Eli is from.

If I want to buy something for Eli, where should I go?
We plan to have a registry at Target, Wal-Mart, and Jellybeans. We hope to have the registries complete by August 1st.
How can I pray specifically for your family & Eli's adoption?
1. Pray for Eli & the ladies at his foster home
2. Pray for Eli's health: that he will gain weight & will fully recover from his malnourishment
3. Pray for Eli's biological mother & father, wherever they may be
4. Pray for our adoption and that the rest of our journey will go smoothly
5. Pray for the other children in the foster home & in the orphanage waiting for their forever families
How can I be involved in Adoption or Foster care?
If you have ever considered adopting or fostering, we'd like to encourage you to continue to pray about doing so. There are so many children both locally & globally that are in desperate need of a loving, forever family. Although adoption & fostering are not for everyone, we strongly believe that God has called each and every Believer to do something! "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. - James 1:27.
