Message from Sarah from Sassy Stitch

 

"We are expecting our fourth child, Molly Kate, later this year. Molly Kate is 2 and is waiting for us in Jiangxi province. We never in a million years would have believed we'd be completing two separate adoptions in what will be just over a year, but God had plans for us! The Sassy Stitch came about as a way for me to bring in some extra money for our adoption and then for our family once our adoption is complete. I am always wishing I could help people in their adoption fundraising as it is something that is near and dear to my heart, but our budget rarely, if ever, allows me to do so. I'm thrilled to be able to help in a new way - one that benefits others' adoptions and our own!"
