So excited at what God is going to do at this most wonderful time of the year for those soon to bring home a treasure….

The “Rules”:

Folks who are a #1= Matched with one child  
AND
are nearing travel, 
but are in need of finishing up the funds.

If you have already traveled, even overseas at this moment, this is not for you…

1. Each person will have the same questions to answer {just copy, paste and answer}. 
2. The questions are to be the body of the post that is linked.  
3. You must link back inside the post to our Place Called Simplicity as well explaining to your bloggy friends what we are doing over here. 
4.  Anyone who uses an old post will be deleted, as will anyone who fails to answer each question.
5.  PCS reserves the right to delete any link that does not follow the rules set forth.
{I don’t want to delete anyone, so please be sweet and follow the rules.}

Here’s the Questionnaire that must be copied, pasted, answered and posted.  
Each question must be answered honestly.  There is no wrong answer, the only thing that matters is truthfulness.   In the interest of most people reading your post, it would probably be best to be brief with your answers.   I have questions that I feel honor the Lord, promote stewardship responsibilities as well as obedience to scripture allowing those willing to share what resources they have to get to know the folks participating.   

1.   Tell us a bit about the child you are adopting – including this treasure’s age and name {Please post a picture if allowed.}
2.  Is the child you are adopting considered “Special Needs”?  
3.  What country or geographic area are you adopting from?
4.   Have you adopted before?
5.   How close to travel are you?
6.   Do you attend church regularly?   If so, what type of church is it?
7.    Do you tithe with each pay {at least the scriptural standard of 10%}?
8.  This week, did you participate in any way with the day of Praise, Prayer by giving praise on the link and then posting your request?
9.  Have you read the entire Deadbeat Dad series?  {Yes or No}  Please read it in full, so you can better understand the heart of God for stewarding the money He has graciously gifted us with. 
It is a four part series and can be found here:  Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
10. How did you hear about this Link up we are having? 
11.  Is there anything, briefly, that you would like to share with our orphan-lovin’, God-honorin’, Jesus worshippin’ bloggy friends reading this?

   
****************
Finally, understanding that each gift received through this “Response Time” has been entrusted generously for our use from our loving Father, we promise, in the unlikely event that we would be unable to or decide not to adopt the children we are advocating for, we promise to return all of the money gifted to us as a result of this link to International Voice of the Orphan so they can, at their discretion, give to other families currently adopting.      

{Please place your initials on the line.}
